Structure
The format of the event will be nine rounds of Swiss rounds plus a top 8 playoff. The swiss portion is divided into three drafts, each featuring a different cube:
Two drafts on Saturday and one more draft followed by the top 8 on Sunday.
Top 8 will be single elimination. Matches in the top 8 are untimed.
Players will be matched within their respective pods for each round, disregarding overall standings. Deck building and matches will be timed.
Side event drafts will be available Friday and Saturday night as well as on Sunday afternoon for those not in the top 8.
Free sleepover, eat and drink
Thanks to our sponsor ASB Kreisverband Friesland / Wilhelmshaven we are able to provide a free shared sleepover location, should you be interested.
Important: the sleepover location is booked! This means you will likely not be able to get a free sleepover spot. You can still get into the waiting list, should a spot open up
We will also be providing free food and drink for part of the event, including coffee and tea. More details on this will follow.
