Why things are different from last year
- It turns out we’re not a very spicy community so the prize pool is being reallocated into raffle prizes and going deeper into Swiss standings.
- We’re dropping Premodern this year and going the full 6 rounds (recommended for 33 to 64 players) for Old School for a few reasons:
- 9 rounds of Magic is A LOT and people were pretty burnt out at the end if they did both events.
- Only about 50% of people played Premodern.
- November 18, 2023 is also this year’s date for the Santa Claus parade, which runs by the venue. The later start makes sure no one gets caught in traffic.
Swiss prizes
- Stamped event card for all participants
- 1st place Swiss: Stamped, altered Strip Mine
- 2nd place Swiss: Stamped, altered Beta Mountain
- 3rd-8th place: Stamped, altered Unlimited Dark Rituals
