Tournament Structure
• Modified Swiss-style (50-minute rounds).
• Casual Unsanctioned
• The Top 8 players after the final Swiss round will advance to the Top 8 single-elimination finals.
• Top 8 playoff matches will be best 2 of 3, and have no time limit. (Players are still expected to play at a normal pace and complete playoff matches in a reasonable amount of time.)
• Where necessary, the standings after the Swiss rounds will still be used to determine final order in the standings.

Notes
• Players must bring pen, paper, card sleeves and appropriate counters.
• Non-profit tournament
• Since we will have a casual setting, we can opt not to have a judge, but instead have a rules advisor or community moderation

Guidelines for Proxy Cards
• Erased blank MTG cards, with colored printout of the card
• Standard SCG format of proxies allowed. Proxies can be a basic land using pentel pen. Card name should be in bold letters. Additional details of the card should be made available via print out.
• Disallowed are printouts glued on the card itself with noticeable thickness
• 13 proxies are allowed. Proxies after the allotted 13 will be charged P25/card
