Diversified Portfolio is a new format for Android: Netrunner that seeks to give some lesser played corporations and unsung heroes of the game a chance to shine, while still allowing players a lot of choice to pick decks which fit their play style. You will get to play with and against ID’s you have rarely or even never before seen at a tournament, leading to totally new experiences.
In a Diversified Portfolio tournament, each legal runner and corp ID has a score attributed to it, going from 0 up to 5. The higher the score of an identity, the more competitive and prevalent it is. A player is allowed to freely pick any runner and corp ID to participate with, as long as the sum of their scores is 5 or less. For example, they could pick Valencia (score 5) and The Foundry (score 0), Blue Sun (4) and Quetzal (1), or Khan (0) and SYNC (3). However, they wouldn't be able to pick AgInfusion (4) and Kit (3).

Players are not obligated to go up to 5 when choosing their ID's. In fact, as an extra incentive to pick less powerful/popular ID's and diversify the field, score is considered the primary tie breaker for Swiss ranking in this format. Thus, if two players both are at twelve points after round four of Swiss, the player with a score of 2 would be higher ranked than the player with a score of 5. With ties, Strength of Schedule and extended SoS will still determine ranking as per usual.
Furthermore, players who took a risk and decided to go for lower ranked identities should be awarded additional prizes. For example, a special prize to the highest ranked player with a score of 2 or less, or every player who played with a combined score of 0.

Outside of these rules, the game plays identically to Standard format. Rotation and the latest Most Wanted List are in effect (in this case MWL 3.4b). The only exceptions are:
Rebirth, which is banned from the format (for obvious reason)
Apocalypse, which is banned because in our experience standard Apocalypse build could be used for basically every Anarch ID no matter its rating.
