2023 Off The Grid Midwest Championship

Due to some generous sponsors, the tickets are much less this year! Entry Fee will be $25 via Eventbrite. The ticket entitles you to both events. Tickets are on sale 03/18/23 and will be available until sold out or the day of.

We need people to pre-order the tix to support the event and to get an idea of attendance. We will do same-day registrations and payment, but it is not ideal. Although we don't expect to hit it, we have a cap of 114 seats (with possible wiggle room), so a pre-order guarantees you a spot. Possible increases in the cap will be looked at if we reach it.

FULL NSG TOURNEY RULES, FLOOR RULES, MWL, AND PACK LEGALITY WILL BE OBSERVED. Even though this is an illicit event, not tied to NSG, 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.

On both days there will be a lunch break, around 1:00PM, will be observed for lunch and/or dinner. GZ has food, but does not allow anything ordered in. The break will be roughly an hour. Plan accordingly. There's not a whole lot close other than nasty fast food. And Portillos. Portillos f***s.

Day 1 - 09/09/2023 - Main Event Swiss

Decklists Required. Ticket Required (Click Here). NSG Standard Format.

THIS WILL BE A CIRCUIT OPENER OR NATIONALS KIT WITH CUSTOM PRIZES. APPLICATION FOR NATS PENDING. OFFICIAL KIT PRIZES WILL BE AVAILABLE!

Main Event goes down at 10:00AM CT on 9/9/23. Registration with END roughly at 10:30AM, with cards hitting the tables at 10:45AM. Rounds will also be 65 minutes. 6 rounds of Swiss will be held, unless there is attendance to support more.

We will do a Top 8 Cut, unless attendance is shockingly low or shockingly high. Those who made it will be locked and announced at end of Day 1. The Cut will be on Day 2.

Decklists will be required. Participants will need to submit a physical copy, which can be done onsite or done beforehand and printed out. As long as the list is legible, any physical copy will be acceptable and doesn't need to be the NSG standard sheet.

Day 2 - 09/10/2023 - Cut & Gods of the Grid

No Decklists. Ticket Required (Click Here). NSG Standard Format. Teams of 3, No Repeat Factions/IDs.

Check the Gods of the Grid ABR for additional details on this event.

At the same time as Gods of the Grid, we will be completing the Main Event Cut. This will start at roughly 10:15/10:20AM CT. We will attempt to include some breaks during rounds for breathers, but the goal is to fire them off as quick as possible since we must conclude by 6:00PM CT. A lunch break may happen, but will be put to a vote for those in the Cut.

For GotG Team Members in the Cut: For one (1) missing member, the remaining members may elect to pilot their homie's deck but they also agree to forfeit games that go to time. For one (1) or two (2) missing members, the team may elect to tag-in folks that otherwise would not have played on the day. For three (3) missing members, the team cannot compete and will be dropped.
