Before starting, shuffle both crypt and library.
Any player earning a Game Win (GW) must send their decklist to Antonio Cobo on Discord (Acbishop-Prince of Bedford (UK)) for use in the finals.

This multi-deck tournament will use the Best-Performing Deck Method.
A judge will load all decks for the finalists.
Standard finals rules apply:
Each player reveals their top 3 crypt cards.
Players choose their seating order based on seed, with the top seed choosing last.
Self-Organized Games
For players unable to play on Sundays, self-organized games are allowed under these conditions:
Only registered players may participate.
Games must be open to all league participants and announced on the League Discord.
Self-organized games can be played on Lackey, Succubus or TTS if the group wishes so, the results must be sent to the event organisers.
The player organizing the match should check for interested participants on Discord.
Once enough players are gathered, a judge must be called to open check-in and run Online Archon pairings.
If no judge is available, players may determine seating by rolling dice, and must report the results after the game.
Mixed rounds are not allowed in self-organized games.
In the case of an inconvenient number of players (6, 7, or 11), the rule applies that those who registered earlier get priority for the available tables.
