WORD FROM THE T.O.

We want to emphasize the focus on good faith and honest competitive play, we want to try hard and have fun. ‘No Tricks Just A Scratch’ will draw our ire. Remember, we are here to make calls/rulings to help you! If you and your opponent cannot agree on something or there are just too many variables for you all to take in, call us over and we will make the call. 

If you have proxies PLEASE make them clear and readable as the operative they are trying to be for everyone’s sanity. ANY PROXIES NEED TO AT LEAST BE TACITLY RUN BY US BEFORE THE EVENT. Let’s all have a wonderful time :) 

CLOCK POLICY

Some clocks will be kept on hand, TOs can force a game on the clock if time is running out, if you desire to play on a clock please bring your own as our stocks are limited. If your opponent requests a clock (and a clock is available) a clock must be used.

JUDGE RULINGS

All TO judge rulings are final. While they might differ from your interpretation of a GW rule or WTC FAQ, the TO judge has the final say period. A snap ruling will be one that is on the spot, used to save time. The judge will rule on the spot with the answer that is most fitting and binding for that specific instance. Please note when asking a judge for a ruling, please ensure all books and FAQs are ready. As well during a ruling, please be respectful of the judge and other players. Any outburst or rude behavior while the judge is making a ruling or question may result in a possible point reduction, being asked to leave for the rest of that game, or even the event itself. Dice are expected to be clear and legible. Dice trays are welcome for use. Please clarify with your opponent prior to the game what you each consider 'cocked' dice.
