Our Values
Community First
Our goal is to strengthen the local Magic community. We want this event to be a safe and welcoming place where everyone can enjoy the game together. All players are welcome, and we ask everyone to treat each other with respect so that everyone has a great time.
Transparent
This event is run entirely by volunteers — no one is making a profit. All entry fees go directly into covering event costs, and any leftover money will be added to the prize pool. Here is a detailed overview of our budget.
Competitive Light
We want to offer a limited event with a competitive edge, but without the full pressure of a professional tournament. That's why we don't have formal judges and don't fully enforce competitive rules. We trust players to follow the rules, not exploit the lighter structure and create a fun atmosphere for everyone.
