ID choice & deckbuilding restrictions - Diversified Portfolio+

Diversified Portfolio is a format that seeks to give some lesser popular Corps and unsung Runner 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 get to play with and against IDs you have rarely or even never before seen at a tournament, leading to totally new experiences.

The + (plus) variant introduces banned cards, as chosen by the top X (in this case 4) players from the last edition of the 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.
• Players are allowed to freely pick any Runner and Corp ID to participate with, as long as the sum of their scores (their "ID score") is 5 or less.
• As an extra incentive to pick less powerful/popular IDs and diversify the field, the "ID score" is considered the primary tie breaker for Swiss ranking in this format. For example, if two players both are at 12 points after round four of Swiss, the player with an "ID 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.
• 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).
