Date and Time:
The Event will be hosted on the 9th and 10th March. This is the weekend after the famous German carnival in Düsseldorf and Cologne (28th February to 5th of March). But the event itself won't be affected by this ;-)
Doors will open at 10:00 AM and the Tournament will start at 11:00 AM.
Tickets:
This is event is limited to 200 Players and the Tickets can be brought here:
BUY TICKETS
Format:
This year will bring something new to the competitive structure - the limited Format - Draft!
Day 1: Constructed Swiss-Rounds based on the number on Participants. (Best-of-One)
Day 2: Top 32 Draft (Best-of-One) followed by a Top 8-Cut (Best-of-Three) in Constructed again
The Points from Day 1 will be carried into the Draft-Rating - you will Draft in Tables of 8 Players, but you can face all Players.
What is different in Competitive-Draft?
You need to build a deck of at least 40 Cards
You only need to deal 6 damage to win the game
You can have more than 3 copies of each card in your deck
You will draft 6 packs of Opus 7
All other normal rules apply!
Edit: You will play 4 Rounds of Draft on Day 2 and the Points will be combined with the Points from Day 1 to determinate the Top 8 which will play best-of-three constructed with the decks they used on Day 1!
Edit 2: Clarification: To give a little bit more background on the whole Draft-Situation:
The Draft is only for Day 2 and only for the Top 32 Players, all other players can play in a Side-Event of course
The Draft will be using stamped cards and all cards will be non-foil. The Foil Card will be randomly replaced by different non-foil card from the Set. All the Foil Cards will be added as Extra Price Support.
The Draft will be timed, and you are only allowed to look at your Picks after each completed pack.
The Points from Day 1 will be carried into Day 2, this means that the Swiss will continue for 4 more Rounds and all Tiebreakers will remain as well, this realized with Cross-Pairing - this means you can play against players outside your Draft-Table but still players with the same (or similar) numbers of Wins.
Prizes and Side-Events:
We will announce all Side-Events and the Prizes soon.
The Winner will receive his Slot at this year's World Championship in USA with his flight and accommodation sorted by us.
The whole Top 4 will also qualify for this year's European Championship
Every Participant will receive a unique Participation item and there will be more special prizes for sure.
Good to know: The venue will open on Friday for some Open-Play session already.
See you all in Germany!
I guess there's no avoiding this.
No time to be careless.
