In addition, we occasionally have no-shows, so if you don’t get in on your preferred time, you are welcome to sign up as an alternate or to come in on the day and try to get available spaces.
Each tournament will run three rounds, and should last about three and a half hours

Winners of each round will earn a Core 2020 booster, and the remainder of our boosters will be divided into first, second, and third prizes at the end of each tournament.

Please be courteous to your other players. While circumstances can come up, we ask that players do their best to not drop out of the tournament until all three rounds are completed. Players who drop from the tournament early may lose the ability to preregister for future tournaments.
