3.1.5 Multi-Deck System

Players are prohibited from making modifications to their decks between rounds unless the tournament uses the following multi-deck rules. The multi-deck system can be used at any tournament with fewer than 12 players (i.e., fewer than three tables). Organizers choosing to use this system must announce its use in advance of the tournament date. Players may choose to bring any number of tournament-legal decks to the tournament and/or extra cards to exchange with cards in their decks (also known as a sideboard in some games). Between rounds, players may freely switch decks (or cards in their decks). A tournament begun with the multi-deck system cannot admit more players between rounds if doing so would create a round with 12 or more players.

So basically, your event could have been a standard constructed, but since the multideck format wasn't announced before the tournament, it falls in the "Unsanctioned Tournament" category.

Oh, we're getting anal now...?

It is a SOP here in Helsinki if we have less than qualifying people attending a tournament that we play with multideck.

Just ain't fun to play three rounds in one table against a deck that trashes your deck.

Each and every player that attended that tournament brought several decks with them because of this.

If this is a problem I'll have to make the entries to event calendar AFTER the event from now on.

I'm just reading the tournament rules here. I suppose they were designed that way so that people that bring only one deck are not penalized by the last-minute change.

Like siad, it is a standard operating procedure here.
So everyone brought extra decks with them to this tournament.

The fact that it wasn't announced in the event calendar is irrelevant.


But if people see this as a problem I can, like already said, revert in creating events in the event calendar after the event has started/been played. Thus it'll certainly match what was played.

It won't advertise the event in VEKN's event calendar but then again no outsiders attend the tournaments anyways and local announcements cover the local playerbase just nicely.
