Tthe emphasis is on competitive play with a high degree of sportsmanship.
You need to know the rules well, and be polite and respectful to your opponents.
If there is a disagreement, or a question about a ruling, you need to call a judge.
Preparing for the event:
- If you will be using sleeves be sure they are all the same color and size.
- Be careful to never accept, or offer anything in exchange for a concession.
Bribery is something that Wizards of the Coast and Cascade Games takes very seriously. - It could be a long day, we suggest bringing a bottle of water.
