on Judge Apps<\/a>!<\/p>\n[expand title=Answer]To determine the appropriate infraction, we must first determine which rule
\nor policy has been violated by Albert’s actions. In this case, Albert made
\na change to his sideboarding choices during the mulligan process. While
\nsome aspects of the pregame procedure are contained within the
\nComprehensive Rules, when a player is allowed to sideboard during a
\nmulti-game match is not one of them. So we know that this isn’t a Game Play
\nError of any sort.<\/p>\n
If this is a violation of the Magic Tournament Rules, we are in the
\nTournament Error category. Some have explored the possibility that this
\nerror is covered as a Deck\/Deck List Problem. However, we neither have an
\nillegal deck presented at any point, nor a sideboard change occurring
\nduring a game – we are still in pregame procedures! What this leaves us
\nwith is an uncategorized Tournament Error, for which there is no infraction.<\/p>\n
Explain to the players that they may not, in fact, change sideboard
\ndecisions after a mulligan. Ask them to please play more carefully and call
\na judge before they take an action they are unsure about, rather than after. Then instruct them
\nto play on.
