Digimon TCG Hackers' Slumber BT23 Release Events

-Entry fee: $35.00, due at the time of registration.

-This is a sanctioned Bandai event, so each participant will need to have a Bandai TCG+ account membership to register themself using the website or app. If you don't have one, you can create a free account here.

-The format is Sealed. Each player will receive a promo card, a prerelease participation pack, and six boosters of the new set from which they must build an exactly 40-card deck and 0-5 card DigiEgg deck. There are no banned or restricted cards (although some cards may have received errata due to mistranslation) and players can include as many copies of cards with the same card number as they like. Any cards left over from deck construction are treated as Sideboard cards, which may be swapped with cards in the Main Deck between rounds or mid-match between games. The following special rules are used in Sealed tournament matches:

• Players can ignore digivolution color requirements, but must still meet level and digivolution cost requirements. Color can only be ignored for standard digivolutions. Color requirements in card text and for Option cards still apply. Color requirements still apply when digivolving Hybrids onto Tamers, or when digivolving via card effects. However, when digivolving via card effect, if no color is specified by the effect, color requirements can be ignored.
• During the breeding phase, players have the additional option to place a level 3 Digimon card from their hand to their empty breeding area, without digivolving onto a level 2 DigiEgg card.

-The tournament will consist of 3 rounds of Swiss. Each round will be a 45-minute best-of-three-game match. End-of-round procedure is an additional 5 minutes added to the game OR three additional full turns, whichever finishes first. Players may choose to intentionally draw (ID) their match.

-Additional prizes are awarded at the conclusion of the tournament based on final standing and win/loss/draw record. The 1st place player will be awarded a Release Event Winner promo and starting at 9 players we will add another Release Event Winner promo to the prize pool for every additional 8 players in attendance that will pay down past 1st place in the final standings list. 2 booster packs will also awarded to each player per match win and 1 booster pack will be awarded per match draw. Booster packs may be banked and redeemed at a later date or exchanged for $3.50 store credit.

-We're also running a Seasonal Tournament Leaderboard which uses the results of each tournament to determine and award special prizes to the top finishing players at the end of each season. For more information, check out our website.
