Day 2 will also have a small Eternal tournament. This will be a Single Sided Swiss with eight 30min rounds and Top 4. This will use the updated Eternal Points List as seen on NISEI's blog: Eternal Testing Tournament. Keep in mind any updates to the list prior to 8/28 will be used. No decklists required for this.

Entry Fee will be $15 via Eventbrite. I need people to pre-order the tix to support the event and to get an idea of attendance. I will do same-day registrations and payment, but I can't accept any cash at the venue. Also, I have a cap of 64 seats (with possible wiggle room), so this guarantees you a spot!

(Tickets will go on sale 7/4/21 at 11:00AM and be available up to the day of the event unless sold out. Possible increases in the cap will be looked at if we reach it.)

FULL NISEI TOURNEY RULES, FLOOR RULES, MWL, AND PACK LEGALITY WILL BE OBSERVED. Even though this is an illicit event, we’re not animals. Please familiarize yourself with whatever the current official rules are, as we will be following them in the spirit of keeping this close to actual competitive Netrunner.

Players will be expected to bring decklists (or fill out on-site), and adhere to all established NISEI policies for conduct, tournament rules, and Standard Format card legality.

Scorched Earth & Hunter Seeker Prizes:

Additional prize opportunities are what makes this OTG. Check it:

Scorched Earth is a Minnesota ANR and Mead Crüe tradition. It is a special, undisclosed prize awarded to the lowest ranked non-dropped player. This is to reward their tenacity and perseverance for sticking with it even after it’s pretty clear winning isn’t in the cards (no pun intended). I know it's possible, but please don't intentionally drop games for this.

Hunter Seekers are bounties on the heads of any former Worlds Top 16 Competitors in attendance (we may get @spags, @aandries, @Ajar, @paranoid, @dashakan, and possibly Jens). It’s simple: If you are paired against and best one of these top players, you’ll have your choice of @babyweyland’s excellent alt art IDs.

Updated COVID-19 Statement

"The COVID situation, as always, is rapidly changing. So too must our policies and how we respond to protect people. With the rise of Delta among unvaccinated folks, OTG has a few more changes from when we first announced:

1. PROOF OF VACCINATION IS NOW REQUIRED. Bring your card. We're not photocopying it or retaining records, but we're checking to make sure you're good to go before being added to the tournament roster.

2. BRING A MASK. Masking will be a "Game Day" decision. We're still not technically requiring them, but come with the expectation that we will. If case rates in Ramsey County are spiking on the week or day of, we will announce requirement at the door.

3. GET TESTED. We're not requiring additional proof of a negative test, but we urge anyone coming to get a test for COVID beforehand. This isn't perfect, but it will be some measure of protection to ensure we're not spreading.

4. STAY AWAY IF YOU'RE SICK. This sucks, but if you're feeling sick on the day please stay away. I will work with anyone in the area who has traveled in for the tournament to get you prizes and/or a refund if you have to do this.

Keep in mind, if you're vaccinated the outlook is still great for you. All of this is being overly cautious in the name of safety and doing our part to not spread the disease. We believe this event can still be a safe and fun time.

Love Always,
OTG"
