This is a structured, competitive Commander Party using our full points-based system outlined below. Pods, scoring, and prizing will be clearly tracked throughout the event.
Event Structure
• Pods of four whenever possible
• Three 80-minute rounds
• Points-based scoring system

Turns and Timing
• Turns should not exceed 4 minutes
• If time becomes an issue, turn timers will be enforced
• When time is called:
– 4-minute limit enforced per turn
– Exceed 4 minutes: -1 point, then -1 per additional minute
– No extra turns or life gain after time is called
Life Totals
• Round up to the nearest even number
• Life totals are halved at the start of each upkeep
Commanders, Deck Changes, and Scoops
• Commanders are revealed at the first draw step
• Decks may be changed between rounds
• Scoops allowed only at sorcery speed
• If a scoop is due to inevitable elimination, the player removing them still receives +1 point

Prolonging the Game
