Procedures

When pairings are posted, find your opponent on the Aetherhub tournament page. Then either find an empty Discord voice channel (marked with "Table #") or find your opponent in a voice server.

Both players must issue a challenge in MTGA using the following settings, or if players are friendlisted, one may issue a challenge:

Tournament match
Best of three (3)
Coin Flip
Arena Standard Cards
Timers On

Once the match is played to it's conclusion, both players must report their scores to the Aetherhub tournament page. Failure to do so as a winner may result in a round loss or drop from tournament. If neither player from a match reports their score, it will be recorded as a draw.

If reporting an intentional or agreed upon draw, please submit that score as "0-0-3". If you have played one match and wish to submit an intentional draw, please submit that score as "1-1-1".

Once the round begins, players have 10 minutes to find their opponent, issue the challenge and begin the match. After 10 minutes any player that has not joined a match, the waiting player will reward themself with two wins and mark the "no show" checkmark for their opponent via the Aetherhub tournament page.

Any player wishing to drop from a tournament is asked to mark the self drop checkbox on the Aetherhub tournament page.
