COLLECTOR'S REALM MAGIC TOURNAMENT

WHERE: 2566 Telegraph, Berkeley. WHEN: Saturday Feb. 6th, 1PM, 2010. CONTACT: Judge (Gabriel) @ Gutterknight@live.com, Store (510) 540-1182, or Store Owner (Bob) @ RobertBlair@CR3.com

Welcome to Collector's Realm 3! I'm Gabriel, the store Magic judge and a certified DCI rules advisor (though this tournament will not be a DCI-sanctioned event). All are welcome, regardless of skill level, as long as you bring your own format-legal Magic: the Gathering constructed deck to play with. We will be conducting a Legacy magic format tournament (see http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=judge/resources/sfrlegacy for Legacy format rules). To participate, you must sign up in-store, on the list on the wall by the front door. You must include your phone number(s) and/or email when you sign up so that we can contact you about the tournament and your participation in it- players who do not provide adequate contact info will not be eligible to play. The tournament limit will be 16 players, so sign up early! There will a 8.00$ entry fee for participation in this tournament.

The tournament format will be round robin, though if nine or more people participate, there will be two round robins, with the first and second place of each round robin facing each other in a finals round for first through fourth place overall. Each pair of players in each round robin will play a best-two-games-of-three match and report the outcome of each match (and each game in that match) to the judge directly afterward. Each match has a one-hour time limit. The judge will make a ruling on any match exceeding one hour (five additional turns is the probable ruling). Players may freeze a game in progress to call the judge over to make rulings. Decks of tournament participants are subject to a deck legality check by the judge before, between and after games and matches. Proxy cards are not allowed. Additionally, at the judge's discretion, any of the following may result in a game loss or even a match loss: playing with decks or cards that are not tournament legal (World Champion cards, Un-set cards, and the banned cards in the Legacy format), playing with marked cards, starting a game with a non-randomized deck, playing with a deck containing sideboard cards in the first game of the match, switching decks mid-match, stalling in an attempt to time-out the match, excessive requests for judge rulings, receiving advice from onlookers, cheating in any way or unsporting conduct as deemed by the judge.

Sideboarding is allowed only after the first and second games of each match. Each player at the beginning of each game may choose to mulligan (shuffle their hand into their library/deck and draw a new opening hand) as many times as that player desires, taking one less card into that player's opening hand each time that player mulligans. There will be no ties... a tie game will be considered a game loss for all of the players in that game.

FIRST PRIZE-1x Slivers (Premium Deck Series), 2x Soul Foundry (Mirrodin), Gold Ion Deck Armor, 4x Zendikar booster packs.

SECOND PRIZE-1x Garruk Vs. Liliana (Duel Decks), 1x Parallel Evolution (Torment), 1x Bad Moon (Time Spiral), 3x Magic 2010 Core Set booster packs.

THIRD PRIZE- 2x Little Bashers (Mirrodin Theme Decks), 2x Deathrender (Lorwyn), 2x Darksteel booster packs.

FOURTH PRIZE-1x Storm Surge (Scourge Theme Decks), 1x Fluctuator (Urza's Saga), 1x Magic 2010 Core Set booster pack.

All players who complete each of their tournament matches will recieve a free Magic booster pack of their choice (limited to in-store stock on the day of the tournament, 5$ max value).

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!

Sincerely,

Gabriel Showers, certified DCI rules advisor and Collector's Realm Magic tournament judge.
