Can I trade at this event? - Yes, trading is allowed at all of our
events. However, anyone attending the event that buys, sells or
solicits other attendees to do either will be asked to leave
without refund or prize. Note - offering items such as Ipods,
PSPs, or other cash items is the same as a cash transaction.
This applies to both the buyer and the seller. TNLG,

Sportsmanship is important at every
event. - Sportsmanship goes a long way in making
an event enjoyable or miserable. TNLG values good
sportsmanship. Poor sportsmanship can lead to warnings, games
losses, match losses, and disqualification from the event. Some
examples of poor sportsmanship include - trying to trick or
deceive another player, lying, arguing incessantly with
officials, and most other forms of bad behavior. Treat players
as you would want to be treated.
Do I lose cards when I play in events? - No. At events held by TNLG you will never lose cards to an opponent while playing. If something says gain control of another card this is not permanent and should be returned at the conclusion of the game.
Most tournaments have entry fees. - There are various fees associated with events. We accept Master Card, Visa and Cash at all of our events. You can also preregister for many events using Paypal.
What about all the times? - In order for us to make the event run as
smoothly we will adhere to registration and start times. When
pairings and seat assignments are posted, please be ready to sit
down and go. This will help the event run as quickly and
smoothly as possible.
What is Swiss Format? - There are two main types of formats used
in most tournaments: Single Elimination and Swiss Format. In
Single Elimination when a player loses a match, they are
eliminated from the tournament (Booster Drafts are examples of
Single Elimination events). In a Swiss Format event, players are
not eliminated from the event after the match completes. They
will be paired at the start of the next round regardless of
whether the won or lost their last match. When you are paired in
this event, you will be paired with someone with a similar record
to your own. Players may play
in every round of this event regardless of record.
I have more questions - We love Questions! If you have a question
please ask an event official and we will be happy to answer
them.
