Main Event

 

Vintage Championship Prelim - for Byes and a Kindle Fire!

Every year, the Vintage Championship awards one lucky player with the Vintage Trophy, a new original painting of one of the Power Nine framed in an oversized card. Prelims are your chance to get a leg up on the competition with a two round bye in the big event!

Registration: 9:00 a.m.

Start Time: 10:00 a.m.

Entrance fee: $18

Format: Constructed - Vintage

Format Description: Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must contain exactly fifteen cards.

With the exception of basic land cards, a player's combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its english card title equivalent. All cards named Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are basic.

The Vintage format allows the use of all cards in the magic cardpool, barring those found in the Unglued/Unhinged sets, and those found on the banned and restricted list.

Structure: Swiss

Structure Description: The principle of a Swiss tournament is that each player will be pitted against another player who has done as well (or as poorly) as him or herself.

Each round, players who win receive 3 points, those who draw receive one point and losers receive no points. Win, lose, or draw, all players proceed to the next round. In subsequent rounds, players face opponents with the same (or almost the same) score. No player is paired up against the same opponent twice however.

In some events, after Swiss rounds there will be a cut to a single-elimination playoff between the top players.

Prizes: First Place wins a 2-round bye at the Vintage Championships and a Kindle Fire
Additional prizes will be awarded to top finishers based on attendance.
