Introduction & Table of Contents INTRODUCTION & TABLE OF CONTENTS TM INTRODUCTION Thank you for sanctioning tournaments with the DCI players organization. By running your tournaments with the DCI, you give your players the opportunity to develop ratings and rankings in the worldwide communities of their favorite games. However, perhaps even more important than access to ratings and rankings, sanctioning with the DCI says your events will follow a set of well-distributed rules and standards of play. This Tournament Organizer’s Handbook contains just about everything you’ll need to run your events—and if any changes take place to the materials included, you’ll be mailed updates. Good luck with all your upcoming events! Sincerely, DCI Staff TABLE OF CONTENTS A. RUNNING BLUE EVENTS IS EASY! E.

RUNNING BLUE EVENTS IS EASY! BLUE GAMES INCLUDE: TM • Magic: The Gathering®•MLB™ Showdown™•X-Men™ • Pokémon™* • WCW™ Nitro™ BLUE games feature a player-rating system that allows your tournament participants to more accurately compare themselves against the world community of players within that game. Given that players are being measured based on their performance against each opponent using the Elo ratings system*, the results of each match must be reported to the DCI. You’ll find your first Match Report Form and Player Information List immediately behind these instructions. After reading the steps below, please use these forms for your first DCI-sanctioned BLUE event. Master copies of these forms exist in the Master Tournament Sanctioning & Reporting section at the back of this book. Please make copies of those forms for any future events you sanction with the DCI! BLUE Events—Step by Step, from Sanctioning to Reporting 1. Fill out a copy of the Tournament Sanctioning Application. • Complete the DCI Sanctioning Application that applies to the appropriate game. • Be sure to provide all the contact and event information you can, because your event will be listed in our website’s searchable upcoming events calendar. In North America, you may submit your sanctioning application to the DCI via fax at (425) 254-2987, or by mail at: DCI Tournament Sanctioning P.O. Box 1080 Renton, WA 98057 Internationally, please send your application to the appropriate DCI office or representative. 2. Shortly after sanctioning your event, you will receive: • An Event Report Summary customized by DCI staff for the event you’re scheduling; • A copy of the Tournament Organizer’s Handbook, which you should use as a reference for running DCI-sanctioned events; and • A pad of DCI membership application cards for players who are new to tournaments. 3. Register Your Players • Be sure to gather each player’s name and DCI number on a copy of the Player Information List at registration. Players who do not yet have DCI numbers will receive them on the DCI membership-card portion of the application they complete on-site. They should use this number when they register for this event, and at all future sanctioned tournaments they attend. NOTE: Each player must supply a DCI number at registration. If any player participating in the tournament does not use a DCI number, that tournament report will be returned to the organizer so he/she can issue DCI numbers as needed. The membership- card portion of applications issued in this manner should be saved and given to the players if they return. 4. Run Your Event. Your players can participate in every round of your event—regardless of how many times they win or lose—when you use the Swiss player-pairing system. See Section F.1—Swiss-Style Pairing System for an explanation of how you can run your events using this pairing method. A version of Swiss called Age-Modified Swiss is required at all DCI-sanctioned Pokémon tournaments. See Section F.2—Age-Modified Swiss-Style Pairing System for further information on this pairing method. 5. Award Prizes. While many organizers use card product from the game the tournament is supporting, feel free to be creative with your prizes. The following is required for DCI-sanctioned Pokémon tournaments: To make sure players in all age groups have fun, the DCI requires Pokémon event organizers to set aside a special prize to be awarded to the highest finishing player aged 11-14, and the best placing participant age 10 or younger. Of course, these prizes should be separate from the prizes awarded to the top finishers at your event. In fact, you may want to have these special prizes pass down to a lower fin- isher if one of the players in these age categories wins or qualifies for one of the regular tournament prizes. 6. Send the Complete Event Report back to the DCI. For each event, please send the following information to the address listed above: • A complete Event Report Summary. • A full Player Information List (containing name and DCI number). • Match Reporting Forms featuring match results for each round of play. • Membership application cards filled out by each new player receiving a DCI number at your event. (The player keeps the tourna- ment card portion of the application so he or she can continue developing the rating they started with your event.) *For more information on the DCI’s rating system, see “Elo Ratings System” in Appendix A of the DCI Universal Tournament Rules.

  • Gathering of Card Players and Subcultural Expression
    THE MAGIC OF COMMUNITY: GATHERING OF CARD PLAYERS AND SUBCULTURAL EXPRESSION Travis J. Limbert A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Dr. Marilyn Motz, Advisor Dr. Esther Clinton © 2012 Travis Limbert All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor When Magic: the Gathering was released in 1993, it was the first trading card game. It paved the way for the trading card game subculture and market that exists today. This thesis explores the implications of this subculture and the ways it can be thought of as an urban leisure subculture. This thesis also discusses Magic’s unique community, which has been instrumental in the game’s success over the last two decades. Magic’s community is created symbiotically, through official support by Wizards of the Coast, and the parent company Hasbro, as well as the usage and interaction by the fans and players. It is this interaction that creates a unique community for Magic, which leads to the game’s global popularity, including its tremendous growth since 2010. This thesis looks at trade publications, articles written about Magic, player responses collected through online surveys, and other works to create an extensive work on Magic and its community. This thesis focuses on how the community is important to the consumption of copyrighted cultural texts and how this creates of meaning in players’ lives. iv To my parents, James and Jona, who always encouraged me. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Tournament Play has always been a big part of Magic: The Gathering. With more and more tournaments being held digitally, it is more important than ever to have a guide to call out what is unique about playing or running a digital tournament. This document will provide a similar infrastructure to the guidelines provided by the Tabletop MTR, but with a focus on digital tournaments and the unique challenges that come with running an event with players spread out all over the world. As much as possible, digital tournaments are to be run consistently regardless of their location. This ensures equal treatment of players in different regions and enables their smooth transition to international tournaments. It is our expectation that players are treated equally and share responsibilities that are called out in this document. Both players and officials should cooperate to achieve their common goal of running a smooth digital tournament. Players and officials must treat each other in a fair and respectful manner, following both the rules and the spirit in which those rules were created. Players are responsible for following the most current version of the Digital Magic Tournament Rules and Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive Rules. Spectators have their own set of responsibilities. Individuals violating these rules are subject to penalties defined by the appropriate document(s). Information in this document may contradict (or have information not contained in) the Comprehensive Rules. In such cases, this document takes precedence. This document is meant to be the default rule set for digital tournaments. Tournament Organizers may have Official fact sheets for specific tournaments which may define alternative or additional policies or procedures.
