Welcome to the GottaCon MTG Open Tournament. This tournament consists of three formats (two qualifiers and one final) in which participants face off for hundreds of dollars in prizes. Qualifier finish order will be determined by the formats detailed below. In each format there is a prize pool to be won.

In Part one, each participant must bring their own Standard constructed deck (deck lists required) consisting of no less than 60 cards and follow the current standard constructed rules. This section of the MTG Open will consist of eight (8) flights of 16 to 32 players in each flight and will be single elimination style rounds. First place overall in each flight receives an invite to the top 16 Sunday at 2:00pm. Prizes will be awarded based on attendance in each flight.

In Part two, each participant will be provided with six (6) boosters of Gatecrash to construct a deck consisting of no less than 40 cards. Participants are given 20 minutes to register the sealed pool and 30 minutes to construct their deck using the sealed pool they are given. The tournament will consist of swiss style rounds. Prizes will be awarded based on attendance.

In Part three (the finals), the top 16 from the previous two qualifiers duke it out in a single elimination Drafts. The finalists will be divided into two pods of eight (8) and each finalist will be provided with three (3) boosters of Gatecrash to draft a deck consisting of no less than 40 cards. The tournament will be single elimination best of 3 games with no time limits. The top player from each pod will face off in the finals in a best of three (or five if time allows) standard constructed event. You must qualify to play in this non-sanctioned tournament. Prizes will be award to the top 16 based on overall MTG Open attendance.

Price: This event is included if you purchase the Magic: the Gathering weekend pass. The cost to participate in the entire M:TG Open is $40 (only includes entry into one Standard flight). If you have purchased a full weekend pass to GottaCon 2013 you must upgrade your pass to a Magic: the Gathering weekend pass. If you wish to only take part in the standard event and not the overall M:TG Open, entry is $10 per flight and you can not qualify for the finals. If you wish to only take part in the sealed event and not the overall M:TG Open, entry is $30 and you can not qualify for the finals.

Prizes will be award to top players of each part of the tournament based on attendance.

Similar to what MTG fans experienced on Magic Celebration day and just like we did at GottaCon 2012, this format is a fast fun way to play Magic! Each participant will received two boosters and have 15 minutes to construct a 25 card minimum deck. Participants will then be paired in a single elimination format with 50 minute rounds. The winner of each round will receive an additional booster and will have 10 minutes to modify their decks with these new cards. After round three deck size must be a minimum of 40 cards. Participants will then be paired for the next round. This pattern will continue until there in one overall winner. Round for this event will discontinue at 2pm Saturday and any remaining player’s decks will be collected and boxed by judges at the tournament reporting desk. The final rounds will continue on Sunday at 9am. This is in an effort to reduce conflict with the MTG Open Sealed event which starts at 2pm.

Price: Free with MTG weekend pass or $10 at the Yellowjacket tournament reporting centre.
Prizes: To be determined, based on attendance.

By GottaCon Team and Yellowjacket.
Day: Sunday
Start Time: 11:00AM

Formats to be played: Standard Constructed, Draft, Cube Draft

Team Composition:
Teams will be composed of nine players. One of the nine players will be considered the team captain and he will speak for the team. Each team will break their nine players into three groupings or three players, which will be called a cluster. One cluster will represent Standard Constructed, one cluster will represent Draft and one cluster will represent cube draft.

How Teams are Built:
It is up to the city involved to construct their team. It is recommended that both teams use the same team construction method.

Execution of the Event:
Each cluster will face off against the same format cluster of the opposing team in round robin format and DCI rules. Each player in a cluster will face off against each player in the opposing team cluster in a best of three games match. All clusters will play at the same time for a total of three rounds for each cluster. By running the event this way it should conclude within 2 to 4 hours. DCI team rules are in effect during matches. Judges will be watching for slow play as a result of player to player communications.

Please note that there is a maximum of four of any one card in a constructed cluster (so you can only have 4 lightning bolts between all three standard decks and the Modern decks could also have up to four lightning bolts between them as well)

The team with the most wins in the draft cluster takes possession of all the draft cards for both teams and distributes them among the overall team as the team sees fit.

Teammates may communicate with each other at any time, unless they leave the area near their side of the table. If they leave that area, they may not return until the end of the match.

Hidden info is not to be revealed. If a player of a team glimpses a deck type or card(s) in an opponent’s deck before the deck is made public, players are asked to keep this info to themselves. E.G. opponent watches a player shuffle and sees the cards then tells the teammate who is playing that player. First drawn hand is seen by a player, then a mulligan is taken, player should not share what they saw.

Point System:
Each match victory within a cluster is worth one point. There will be a total of nine matches per cluster which means a total of 27 points up for grabs. No ties allowed. The team with the most points at the end wins.
