The DCI is giving players in a growing number of countries and stores the opportunity to play in a weekly event and have a shot at cool FOIL prize cards in the process. FNM is designed to keep the play style casual. For example:

* FNM events have significantly less impact on players' ratings than most tournaments;
* prize cards are available to participants in other ways than just to the winners; and
* for rules enforcement, the emphasis is on teaching players the correct ways to play.

Since it's draft format, you only have to remember three things: remember where the tournament is happening, and what time it starts. You don't even need to bring a deck!

Friday Night Magic Rules:

* 1st and 2nd place receive one prize card each.
* Door prize: The tournament organizer will randomly award the remaining two prize cards to two players that did not place first or second.
* FNM events are 8k tournaments and have a Regular Rules Enforcement Level (REL).
* All 4 prize cards associated with each Friday Night Magic event must be awarded to the players.
* Friday Night Magic events can only be run on Fridays.

Premium Card Prizes:

Each month a different FOIL card will be given out. The cards feature the FNM logo in the text box and many have original flavor text and updated wordings.

Main Event

 

Booster Draft FNM

Registration: 6:45 p.m.

Start Time: 7:00 p.m.

Entrance fee: $15.00

Format: Limited - Booster Draft

Notes: This draft will be run using packs from the most recent set using the current draft format.

Format Description: Main decks must contain a minimum of forty cards. There is no maximum deck size. All cards a player received but is not using in his or her main deck become that player's sideboard.

Players are not restricted to four of any one card in Limited tournament play.

Any drafted or opened cards not used in a player's Limited deck function as his or her sideboard. The sideboard may not be kept where it could be confused or switched with other cards.

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: In addition to the drafting materials, players receive prizes paid out by record: 4 Wins, 0 Losses - $30.00 Store Credit
3 Wins, 0 Losses, 1 Draw - $20.00 Store Credit
3 Wins, 1 Loss - $10.00 Store Credit FNM Promo cards will also be awarded to the top 2 finishers, and to 2 lucky participants chosen at random!
