Magic The Gathering: Block Championship

Main Event

 

2012 Block Championship

The Block Championship gives away HUGE prizes, including foil sets of every set in the block!

Registration: 5:00 p.m.

Start Time: 6:00 p.m.

Entrance fee: $24

Format: Constructed - Innistrad Block

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 following card sets are permitted in Block tournaments:
Innistrad, Dark Ascension, and Avacyn Restored

The following cards are banned in Block tournaments:
Intangible Virtue
Lingering Souls


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 FOIL playset of every set in the block (that's Innistrad, Dark Ascension, *and* Avacyn Restored), and is also invited to the 2012 GenCon Championship
Second place wins a non-foil playset of the block.
Third and fourth each receive one nonfoil Innistrad Block set.
Additional prizes will be awarded to top finishers depending on attendance.
