Participation minimums for a tournament to be sanctioned as a rated tournament are as follows:

• For individual tournaments, a minimum of four (4) players must participate.
• For team and Two-Headed Giant tournaments, a minimum of four (4) teams must participate.

Certain Premier tournaments (e.g. Regional Championship Qualifiers) require a higher minimum number of players.

If the participation minimum is not met, the tournament is no longer DCI-sanctioned. If participation minimums are not met for any DCI-sanctioned tournament, the Tournament Organizer should report the tournament as “Did Not Occur.”
