Tips for WER Scorekeeping and more!
Some rules about sanctioned events, and how expeditions work in limited. EDIT: update for the new deck swap procedure, which fixes lots of problems in sealed! In sealed, there's a new process where each player opens all of their boosters, with the person sitting across from them watching to verify. All those cards, including any expeditions opened, belong to the player who opened them. Once all the packs are opened players will register the pool of the person sitting across from them, and then
There's a WER update today, it's made local player databases inaccessible for many people. Let your local store know to backup their local player database before doing any updates (click no when it asks if you want to update), and to leave the update until after it's fixed. Also before even opening WER you can go to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Wizards of the Coast\Event Reporter and copy TournamentData.dat, email it to yourself in case of the worst case scenario.

A combined DTK-FRF checklist with both sides in one PDF, for use in competitive sealed events.

If something happens to your LPDB or the computer it's on, that information is gone forever. You can't get it back except by looking up all your local
Hi All, I'm Fabian Peck, an L3 from Melbourne, Australia. I work as the Magic events coordinator in a store here running events from 8 player drafts up to prereleases with 800+ entries over the weekend. This blog is going to be aimed at people running store level events; judges, store employees, tournament organisers and anyone else who's interested.
