Conspectus Gaming rules and practices for cEDH tournaments:

• Proxy Policy: You may have any number of high-quality, printed proxies. Handwritten or paper-in-front-of-card proxies are not allowed.
• Deck Standards: Decks should be fully optimized with "best-in-slot" cards; "Rule 0" is not applicable.
• Game Structure: Pod matches will consist of 3-4 players. Singles matches will be 1v1. Please see "Scoring" for more information.
• No Kingmaking or Spite Plays: Deliberate, non-rational, or spite-based actions that help one player win at the expense of others are strongly discouraged.
• Fast Play: Players are expected to know their decks well and act efficiently, as slow play can be a major issue in timed rounds.
• No "Take-Backs": Physical actions are locked in once taken. Missed triggers cannot be "triggered" later if forgotten.
• Interaction & Power Level: Expect intense stack-heavy, fast games, where turn 2-3 wins are possible, and high-efficiency interaction is required.

The Scorekeeper ensures the correct generation of pairings and all other tournament records throughout the tournament. The Scorekeeper’s responsibilities include:

• Generating correct pairings each round and accurately entering the results of those rounds.
• Generating standings for posting before and after the final Swiss round. Other rounds may also be posted at the Head Judge’s discretion.
• Solving all scorekeeping problems that arise in consultation with the Head Judge.

Making sure all necessary information is included in the tournament’s report to be submitted to the DCI.

The Head Judge has the final authority in determining corrective action for scorekeeping errors.

Example:

1. 8 players x $25 entry fee = $200.
