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 10. The scores are calculated from the ratings provided by the Top 4 players of the previous edition or decided by the Tournament Organizer.
• 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 10 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 tournament points after round four of Swiss, the player with an "ID score" of 4 would be higher ranked than the player with a score of 9. In case of a tie, 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).

Streaming

There will be streaming happening, so if you are NOT OK with being on stream with your game(s), the organizer will ask you about your preference. All requests to not be streamed will be honoured. All requests to be streamed will be considered.

If you want to stream the event, please coordinate with the TO to avoid crossing the streams (they say it's dangerous). Also, consider getting a free listing in the community directory.

Question: Does the ID point limit count for using DJ Fenris ?
Answer: YES IT DOES - YOU CAN'T dance to DJ FENRIS with another RUNNER that has an illegal/excessive ID cost.
Runner ID + Corp ID + Runner ID hosted on DJ Fenris have to have an ID cost equal to or lower than 10
