Cache Refresh is an alternative format for Netrunner which allows players to join in even if they do not have a full card collection. Deckbuilding will be permitted from the following card pool:
Reign and Reverie will not be legal for this event, as many players have been unable to obtain this product and so it would be unfair to allow it.
We will not be using the bidding system from the official FFG Cache Refresh format - in each Swiss round you will play as both Corp and Runner. Whatever MWL (Ban + Restricted list) is in effect one week prior to the tournament will be in effect for the tournament. The current MWL is v2.1.
Structure will be Swiss Rounds, with at least 4 rounds, but possibly 5 depending on attendance and appetite! Entry will be £5 per player and decklists will not be required. You just need to bring two legal decks (one corp, one runner), sleeved in opaque sleeves and enough tokens to play. If you are missing anything you need, please post in the discussion on the Facebook event and someone will probably be able to help you out.
This event will be run with a relaxed atmosphere with the aim of being welcoming to everyone who wishes to play. Rounds will be 75 minutes to allow some extra time for players who are newer to organised play. Punitive rulings will be avoided wherever possible - we want this to be a fun and informal event for everyone to have a great time playing!

Prizes will be separated into 3 pools: Winner, Top Finishers and Participation. Everyone will get at least one prize (but probably more, like playsets rather than single cards) from the Participation pool, while the top x finishers on the day (with x to be determined by how many players we have) will also get to pick something from the Top Finishers pool and you guessed it, the winner will take home a prize from the Winner pool.
Here are some of the prizes from each of the pools:
