Regular, Competitive, or Professional:

At 2010s events, the 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 Cascade Games takes very seriously.
  • It could be a long day, we suggest bringing a bottle of water.
