Requirements for Entry
Here's a list of what you'll need to bring with you in order to participate in the tournament:
*Your decks (one Corp and one Runner)
*Opaque sleeves for your decks
*Spare sleeves
*Null Signal Games (NSG) versions (or proxies thereof) of any non-NSG alt-art cards you intend to use
*Printed decklists (required for the main event and top cut only)
*Your tokens
*Proof of ticket purchase

Sleeves
Opaque sleeves cannot be seen through. NSG published this guide (https://nullsignal.games/blog/sleeves/) many years ago illustrating the problem with some sleeves. Please make sure your cards cannot be seen through your sleeves! If you'd like recommendations or assistance with acquiring opaque sleeves, please contact me at jackson.renehan@gmail.com and I'll do what I can do to help.

Staying on the topic of sleeves, I can't stress how important it is that you bring extras! If one of your sleeves breaks or becomes marked in some way during the tournament you will need to replace it or you won't be able to continue playing.

Alternate Art Cards
If you intend to include alternate art cards in your decks which have not been produced by Null Signal Games, these cards must follow the guidelines listed in Appendix III of the NSG Organised Play Policies document. You can find the document here: https://nullsignal.games/organizers/organized-play-policies/

If you are not sure whether the cards you intend to bring to the tournament will be suitable, please feel free to contact me at jackson.renehan@gmail.com with photos of the cards in question, or make sure you bring an official version (or proxy of an official version) of any such card, just in case!

Decklists
To participate in the main event, you must provide physical decklists which will be kept by event staff for the duration of the tournament. If you are handwriting your decklist, it must be legible. Check the guidelines in the Organised Play Policy for more details: https://nullsignal.games/organizers/organized-play-policies/

Other Helpful Information
Here are some links to some helpful information about attending a Netrunner tournament. The YouTube video is geared towards something much bigger like the World Championship, but a lot of the advice there is still applicable for a Nationals-level tournament.
