• a stable internet connection

Event structure:

1. Player meeting on Discord (around 20 minutes before start of Round 1)
2. 4 Swiss rounds of 65 minutes maximum each. Breaks of 5-10 minutes between each round, as required, at TO's discrection.
3. X minute break before Top Cut (as agreed with the Top Players)
4. Top 4 Cut - double elimination (40 minute per game). Decklists might be public, depending on the joint decision of the Top 4 Cut participants. Final games - not timed.
5. Finalist stream chat + Q&A!

ID choice & deckbuilding restrictions

• Each legal Runner and Corp ID has a score attributed to it, going from -1 (special case) up to 10. The scores are calculated from the ratings provided by members of the Lockdown Council (all Top 4 players from all previous editions).
• 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 Ban List are in effect (in this case SBL 20.06).

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

Streaming

There will be streaming happening, mainly via Twitch. All explicit requests to be streamed will be considered.

If you are not OK with being on the stream with your game(s), you will be asked to put "DNS" at the end of your table name on jinteki.net during the tournament. All requests to not be streamed will be honoured.

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.
