FAQ
A: FAQ is an acronym for "frequently asked questions."
A: It is difficult to predict how long a tournament will last. It depends how many players participate. 8 players=3 rounds, 12 players=4 rounds, 16+ players=5 rounds. If there’s an odd number of players, it is possible the tournament will end up a round shorter, except in Magic tournaments. Each round takes (30min/POKE, 40min/YGO, 50min/MTG, 60min/WOW. Most often someone uses the full amount of time to finish their match, then they get additional turns to finish (3/4 for YGO&WOW, 5 for MTG).The tournaments take a few minutes to start up and get everyone registered and paired. So overall tournaments may last somewhere between 2 ½ hours to 4 ½ hours. As an exception, our late night Friday magic events last over 5 hours. We usually get over 12 players, and Saturday and Sunday are our most popular days.
A: These games are designed for ages 6 and up. Tournament Players must be able to read, understand basic math, and have sufficient knowledge in playing their game. And must be able to do this on their own, with no outside help. As this is a Sanctioned Tournament, players are expected to behave in appropriate behavior and be responsive to the Judges and their opponents. And as always remember to be friendly and have fun!
