Commander Party at FourCorners Comics & Games
Place all five world cards, world side face up, in the Unclaimed Worlds space on the play aid. During the match, players will be able to claim world cards from this area.
Worlds are special objects in the command zone that players can control. They aren't permanents and can't be targeted, destroyed, or exiled. If a player loses the game, any worlds they control return to the Unclaimed Worlds space on the play aid.
Players will need a supply of orbit counters during the event. These can be any countable small object (glass beads, dice, paperclips, etc.)—or create your own unique counters!

Gameplay Rules
* Timed Turns:
* Turns should not exceed 4 minutes as a courtesy to other players.
* If timing becomes an issue, turns will be strictly timed.
AT TIME
* The 4-minute rule will be strictly enforced:
* -1 point for exceeding 4 minutes; additional -1 point for each minute thereafter.
* Life Totals:
* Life totals will be rounded up to the nearest even number and halved at the start of each upkeep.

Additional Rules
* Deck Changes:
* Players may change decks between rounds.
* Commander Reveal:
* Commanders are revealed at the beginning of the first draw step.
* Forfeiting Rounds:
* If a player leaves the table for more than one turn rotation, they forfeit that round with no points awarded.
Game Ending Combos
* If a player uses an infinite or game-ending combo while multiple opponents remain, they win the game but only earn points based on their placing. Other players continue playing.
* Example:
* Player A wins with a game-ending combo (1st place = 4 points), while Player B wins afterward (2nd place = 3 points).
* Players can earn points for eliminations before a game-ending combo.
* Example:
* If Player A eliminates Player B and then wins with a combo, they earn 5 points (1 for elimination + 4 for the win).
Note: Game-ending combos and player eliminations do not stack; winning with a combo awards only the win points.
Elimination Order
* If two or more players are eliminated simultaneously, the order of removal determines priority.

* Spectators may communicate quietly among themselves but must not interfere with ongoing games.
* Good Sportsmanship:
* Players are expected to maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere. This includes:
* Acknowledging opponents' plays, whether successful or not.

* Avoiding negative comments or behaviors that could be perceived as unsportsmanlike.
* Encouraging fair play and camaraderie among all participants.
* Being mindful of your tone and body language during games.
* Avoiding distractions during opponents' turns, such as talking loudly or engaging in unrelated activities.
* Please be respectful and don’t make me have to enforce this. Players exhibiting poor sportsmanship may be subject to penalties at the discretion of the event coordinator.
Take Back Rule
* Players lose 1 point (up to 2) for taking back a decision after passing priority, a turn, or a phase.
Scoop Rule
* A scoop or forfeit may only be at sorcery speed. If a player scoops due to inevitable elimination, the player who eliminates them receives +1.
* If a player is about to be eliminated and attempts to remove themselves by damaging themselves, the point for removal still goes to the attacking or removing player.
