The Professor Cup is a tournament where every card ever printed for standard play is legal, but only 1 copy of each card is allowed. This includes every card ever printed (except the Terminal Directive campaign cards) - Hired Help, Watch the World Burn, etc. are all legal. The Eternal ban/restricted list does not apply - racking up as many banlist points as possible is encouraged. Additionally, functional reprints are both allowed to be played - for example, a deck is allowed 1 copy of Snare and 1 copy of Byte. (Old Wizards of the Coasts Netrunner cards like TRAP are not allowed, even if they would make perfect sense in the current game)

I'd love for this to be as beginner friendly as possible - this is by no means a "serious" tournament. I'll be posting some sample decklists/bringing a bunch of extra decks for those that don't want/don't feel comfortable building from the cardpool of everything. Additionally, feel free to arrive late/leave early if only able to attend part of the tournament - that's no problem at all.
