Chicagoland City Championships Marathon
This event is open to all players. We are using the Swiss pairing format, so you can play through each round and never be eliminated until the swiss rounds are over. City Championships are a great place to test your new deck strategies and bring your play skills to the next level! The top players of the City Championship are awarded prizes for the skills needed to do well in such a large event.
When preparing for a City Championship Tournament make sure you have a Deck that is ready to play in a competitive sanctioned tournament. To do this first check that your Deck complies with the current Modified Format Regulations. After checking your cards are legal for play, you will then need to fill out a DECKLIST!
If you are using sleeves be sure they are all the same color and size. Damaged sleeves will NOT be allowed for this event. Shiny backs or printed backed sleeves will also not be allowed.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Leave yourself at least an additional 30 minutes every weekday morning to accommodate for Chicago area traffic. If it says, on google maps, you will be there in 20 minutes, you need to leave at least 50 minutes early!!! Do not be late, if you don’t want a round 1 loss.
