    WOW do I wish that we had PTQs that only had 60 people in them.
    Last PTQ I went to in the midwest had 144 players…

    Great Podcast, as always :)

    Hi Derek!

    Thanks for the comments on my PodCast.

    Yea… I’ve been too all size of PTQs both in the US or abroad.

    The smallest PTQ that I’ve attended was a 25 person event in Denver, many many years ago. I’ve also been both a judge and a play in an 8-man GPT.

    In Oklahoma City, OK and/or Albeq., New Mexico they regularly have PTQs that are in the 30-ish to 40-ish person range. In Alaska, I’ve heard of a few PTQs that were around 12 players. I’m been tempted with the idea of buying an airline ticket and actually flying to Alaska to attend a PTQ like that. This past weekend, 2 of my friends went to Albeq. for a Lorwyn Limited PTQ which had ~40 people in it, and they both Top 8′d, only too be forced to face each other.

    The largest PTQ that I’ve registered for was ~560, and was held on the Saturday of a PT event, while I was attending PT:Mainz in 1997.

    Sealed Deck
    • 2+ players
    • Each player needs 1 Tournament pack and 3 booster packs
    • Players simply open their tournament packs and the cards from three additional booster packs and build a deck from the cards they opened. Guidelines require a minimum deck size of 40 cards and allow players to add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their card pools as they like.

    Booster Draft
    • 4-8 players
    • Each player needs 3 booster packs
    • At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again.
      Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.
    Tribal Wars
    • One-third of every deck must be of a single creature type (e.g. "Merfolk" or "Beast")
    • Each deck must contain at least 60 cards, and players may build decks using Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
    • You can use creatures of other creature types, but they do not count towards the "1/3 of single creature type" rule.

    Singleton
    • aka "Highlander"
    • No two cards in a player's deck can share a name unless they're basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests). Players can use Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
