September 21st and 22nd at Embassy Suites in El Segundo, California.
Updated 9/13/2024: This event will require players to have two decks made, where they cannot share cards between their two decks. On day 1, 100 players will be participating in seven (7) best of 3 Swiss Rounds, with the top 16 players moving on to day 2.
Updated 9/16/2024: Deck A and B need to match the 2-deck registration form that is required to be submitted at registration.
The Deck Usage per each round will be as follows:
Round 1 – A
Round 2 – B
Round 3 – A
Round 4 – B
Round 5 – A
Round 6 – B
Round 7 – A
Please ensure you are using different sleeves across: Deck A, LB Deck A, Deck B, and LB Deck B. There will be additional measures in place during the event to prevent players from misusing the incorrect deck throughout the event. These details will be shared in the morning player meeting on Day 1 after registration has been completed. (update end)
Day 2 will use double elimination brackets. We will utilize power seeding such that the 1st place player from Day 1 will be paired against the 16th place player from Day 1, the 2nd place player from Day 1 will be paired against the 15th place player from Day 1, and so forth. The winner’s bracket will be Best of 3, same as Day 1, and if a player loses a round in the Winner’s Bracket, they will move to the loser’s bracket. The loser’s bracket will consist of Best of 1 matches with either of their decks, which they can choose before each round.
The winners of each bracket will play in the finals, where the winner’s bracket player needs to win a best of three, while the loser’s bracket player needs to win a best of 3, and then another best of 1 match that will decide it all.
