Most of the time issues on the night can be resolved by
talking to your opponent’s team captain and informing
a tournament admin of the situation. By communicating
with each other we can try to keep everyone’s experience
positive without having to come down hard on enforcing
rules.
When there’s a clear violation of the rules, respect for the
tournament and the other players taking part, then we will
enforce the rules appropriately. Tournament Admins will
always be present on the night if you would like to report
