Tournament Structure

All rounds of competition use Tournament Match Direct Challenge settings via Direct Challenge in MTG Arena, which means:

• 30-minute time banks for player priority are enforced in-client.
• Timers are on.
• Matches are best two-out-of-three games.
• Players should double-check to ensure they have not selected "Tournament Match – Limited", or "Challenge Match" in Direct Challenge settings.

Players must challenge their opponent by the time the round has officially started based on the time provided by the tournament organizer.

Players who have not been able to begin their match and who have received communication from their opponent should contact a tournament admin once the round has begun.

At the end of 60 minutes, tournament admins will message players who have not yet reported their match and players still in a match are expected to respond to the admin's message to confirm they are still playing.

Players who place 1st through 16th in a bracket are awarded money that will be credited to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital of their choice (chosen during online registration). The final bracket prize breakdown is as follows: Main Tournament Payout (Donations) If any games result in ties that cannot be resolved by these rules, the money awarded for those placings will be averaged and shared among the tied players.
