Format:
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 5 packs of Opus 8
All other normal rules apply!
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!
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.
Backups can only be played following the normal rules! (Different to other Limited Format Rules)
