The Pirates Qualifier is designed to offer a high-quality competitive experience while minimizing stress and scheduling conflicts. We use a flexible scheduling system that allows players to coordinate their matches at their convenience within a set time frame.

• Structured Rounds with Flexibility: Each round has a designated time window (e.g., 4 days per round) during which players must complete their matches.

• Pod-Based Scheduling: After being assigned to a pod, a dedicated chat room will be created for each group of players to discuss and agree on a suitable time to play within the specified time frame.

• Conflict Resolution: If players are unable to agree on a time, the tournament administration reserves the right to assign a fixed match time that is as accommodating as possible for all involved.

• Optimized for Quality Play: This system ensures that players can participate at their best, avoiding the fatigue of long, uninterrupted play sessions and ensuring every match is played with focus and competitive integrity.

• Ideal for Online Play: No need to be physically present at a specific time or location—play when it suits you, while keeping to the tournament schedule.

By prioritizing flexibility and player collaboration, we aim to create a smooth, enjoyable tournament experience that maintains the competitive spirit of cEDH while accommodating the schedules of all participants.

At Pirates Qualifier, we strive for a friendly and competitive atmosphere. Here’s how we handle potential disputes and ensure fair play:

• Player Competence: We trust that players are knowledgeable enough to handle their own interactions during matches. However, judges are available to resolve any disputes or complex interactions.

• Dispute Tickets: If a conflict arises, players can open a ticket for our admins to step in and assist in resolving the issue.

• Fair Play Commitment: We do not tolerate rule-abusing or disruptive behavior. Players who intentionally waste time or attempt to derail the tournament may be removed by the admin team.

• Global Bans: Any violations or unfair behavior that result in removal from the tournament will lead to a ban from all European tournaments within the series.

• Tournament Start Date: February 15 – Don’t miss out, make sure you have your ticket by then!

• No Physical Presence Required: Since this is an online tournament, you don’t need to be physically present at any given location.

• Tournament Structure: The flexible scheduling allows for relaxed play while maintaining the competitiveness of the event.

• Pod Creation: Pods are created on February 15, and each pod has 24 hours to agree on a match time. If players can’t agree, the admin team will set a time for them.
