How Do Set Championships Work:

Thinking of attending for the first time?

• Set Championship events are a step-up in competitive play from regularly weekly events.
• Prizing is limited, so expect players to travel in with meta decks.
• Book ahead of time with the store and make sure you buy a ticket if needed.
• You’ll need a 60-card, two-ink color max deck.
• You could be playing all day! Expect 4-7 matches played a “best-of-three”, with 55 minutes max.
• Check the rules beforehand as timings/games might be different, but tournament organizers should tell everyone before starting.
• The first part is played using “Swiss” pairings which decide who you play.
• You must report matches properly using melee.gg, and should have signed up to the tournament beforehand. Get an account now if you don’t have one.
• If there were eight players or less, the top scoring player wins.
• For 9 or more players after “Swiss” rounds, the top players go into a “top cut”.
• This is played as “single elimination”, aka a match loss means they’re out, a win means they progress.
• Only the top two players get a mat – the winner gets the one with the Champion text.

Tournaments with 18 or more players should have a top cut of eight players, who should now all get a special promo card. All attendees should get the standard promo, as long as there aren’t more than 40 players.
