  2. Seminar structure: Why we do DC? Important parts in TR and IPG Sortingdecklists and first checking Starting procedure DC in limited + tips DC in constructed + tips After DC… DC on-line (role-playing) Summary Questions ??? 2

  3. Why we do DC? • we want players to play with the same deck for the duration of the tournament • If there were no penalties why not build a deck with 10 copies of your win condition • Playing a deck that matches the decklist is important to maintain tournament integrity • The deck check team will focus on checking decks to preserve the tournament integrity, keeping players from taking advantage of manipulating tournament materials or not presenting a fully randomized deck. 3

  4. Important parts in TR I. 2.7 Deck Registration • players are required to register their decks and sideboards (if applicable) in Competitive and Professional REL tournaments • once your decklist has been accepted by a Tournament Official it may not be altered. Players have the right to request to see their decklist between matches 2.8 Deck Checks • the DCI recommends that at least ten percent of all decks be checked over the course of the tournament • Players may not sideboard after a deck check 4

  5. Important parts in TR II. 3.9 Card Shuffling • decks must be randomized at the start of every game • once the deck is randomized, it must be presented to an opponent • Players may request to have a judge shuffle their cards rather than the opponent • At Competitive and Professional REL tournaments, players are required to shuffle their opponents’ decks after their owners have shuffled them 3.11 Marked Cards • players are responsible for ensuring that their cards and/or card sleeves are not marked during the course of the tournament • judges may request that a player remove his or her current sleeves or replace it 6.1 Deck Construction Restrictions 5

  6. Important parts in IPG • 3.9. Tournament Error — Deck/Decklist Problem (Penalty - Game Loss/HJ downgrade) • 3.8. Tournament Error — Marked Cards (Penalty – Warning/HJ upgrate) • 3.4. Tournament Error — Insufficient Shuffling (Penalty – Warning) 6

  7. Sorting decklists The main task for the judge (deck check team) at the beginning of the tournament is to sort decklists as soon as possible to be able to start checking decks • Collect decklists • Sort it + find missing • Check decks • Count decklists System at GP: Counting all decklists is not mandatory anymore 7

  8. Starting procedure I. We assume two-judges in our DC team: JUDGE #1 • Checking players how they shuffle • Which cards are presented to opponent • Make note when you take decks from players and who is owner of first and second deck and a number of a table JUDGE #2 • Fetch for both decklists • If it is not allready counted, count them 8

  9. Starting procedure II. • Check stacking deck • Quick check condition of sleeves and start sorting • When the deck is sorted by decklist it is good time to check again sleeves for pattern …and now tips for limited/constructed format: 9

  10. DC in limited • First sort cards into 3 piles • Take care of all auras like „pacifism“ + news in IPG !!! If both players receive Game Losses for Deck/Decklist Mismatch at the same time (commonly, when one has a card from the other player’s deck in theirs), those Game Losses do not count towards the final match score. • Double check if foils are not visible 10

  11. DC in constructed • Recognize cards by their pictures, especialy nonbasic lands • Try to find a system in decklist • Beware two card combost sticked together • Double check sleeves in sideboard • Instead of DC you can do a „quick sleeves checks“ 11

  12. After DC… • never use name of cards • ask the player separetely • tell players that his decks are sorted • Add extra time 12

  13. DC on-line Now we will do a real deck check… …any volunteers? • Try to remember (or make a notes) all interesting situations, we will discuss about it later…. Summary • Was everything all right ? 13
