How-to Start a Tournament Match: For this tournament you MUST USE the Historic Tournament Match feature. Follow these instructions in order:

1. Click the double-swords icon in the top-right corner of the Arena client.
2. Click the right-arrow to toggle to “Historic Tournament Match”
3. Type your Opponent’s Arena username into the Opponent box. Keep in mind that usernames are CaSe SenSITive.
4. Click the “+” picture and choose your deck. You are responsible for making sure you choose the deck you submitted to the MTGMelee site.
5. Click the “Play” button.

Each round will be fifty (50) minutes including five (5) minutes to check-in and begin your match. Fifteen (15) minutes after a round is paired, if a player has not communicated with their opponent or a tournament admin that player will lose the current round and be dropped from the event. Match results should be entered in your Player Controller. At the conclusion of your match, it is recommended that you take a screen shot of your match result screen. If there are any discrepancies in the match results, an admin may ask you for the match result screen shot as proof of your result. There are no draws!

We will be streaming during this event. We would love if you share your screen in Discord or let us know your Twitch channel so that you may be featured! Please @eventstaff in the Discord if you are interested!

In the event that there is a dispute between players, a tournament admin may ask for a screenshot or for you to share your screen on the DaCrabsMTG Discord to better understand the situation or as a way to confirm that something is occurring. We highly-recommend that players take a screenshot of each "Victory" screen showing both players’ names. In the event of a results discrepancy, you may be asked to provide this as proof.
