Connection/ In Game Issues

All connection issues are the responsibility of the players to work out. Everyone is responsible for their internet/computer to be in working condition! Any in-game issues, that need attention, must be brought to a staff member in a timely manner. All players should be aware of Magic Arena bugs/issues. **All decisions will be final when made by Staff and Tournament Organizers. **

Pairings

All pairings will be final once posted. Please listen out for any text/audio notifications on new pairings posted. Please consider signing up for SMS notifications on MTGMelee.

If a player joins our event after pairings have been posted for Round 1, that player will receive a match less when entering the event.

All players need to use "Historic Tournament" Challenge when challenging your opponent on Arena.

Players are not allowed to intentionally draw.

Top 8 will be using the Play/Draw Rule. Higher Seed challenges and chooses.

Challenge Issues

Common issues arise when challenging other players, some of these are as follows:

1. Cannot connect to opponent

2. Rules/Settings not the same as your opponents

3. Cannot find username due to error or unrecognizable lettering

Please take the necessary steps to speak to your opponent before contacting a staff member. Adding each other on Friends List, restarting Arena, restarting router, and making sure all challenge details are the same as your opponents are all common fixes.
