Legacy League Rules for Season #0

---

Introduction

To avoid any unpleasantness related to potential ambiguities during Legacy League matches, the following rules have been written down and adopted for the zeroth season of the Legacy League.

Additionally, this article outlines the general way the League operates.

Points

During Legacy FNMs organized by CentrumMTG (held on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM), every scored point counts toward the League ranking for the given season. Points are not carried over between seasons.

Season

The zeroth season has started with the publication of Banned and Restricted Announcement on 31.03.2025. The planned end of the season is June 25, 2025 (Wednesday). Points scored during the tournament held on that day are included in the zeroth season’s results.

FNMs

The final and sole source of information regarding points earned in a given FNM is the results panel from the Companion app. This can only be changed upon agreement with the store organizing the FNM.

Registration

A person is considered registered for the FNM once they enter the appropriate code in the Companion app. In the case of being late to the tournament, the first priority is to locate your opponent and play the round, and only afterward to pay the entry fee at the store¹.

Tardiness

In the case of any player being late² to the start of a round, if that player’s match reaches the time in the round, the tardy player immediately loses the entire match. No “standard” extra turns are played.

The start of the round is defined as the moment when the official timer is started.

Pairings

Unless the store organizing the FNM introduces any changes, all pairings are distributed through the Companion app and displayed on a screen in the play area.

Since each round must be manually started by the tournament organizer, we kindly ask all players to report their results in the app immediately, and if you are the last pair still playing, to inform the organizer that the next round can be started.

Prizes

For every FNM and for certain achievements in this League season, the following prizes are distributed:

1. For each FNM, store credit is distributed among the top players. The majority of the winnings goes to the player that finished in the first place, while the remaining pool is shared among other players who scored at least \(\mathbf{X}-1\).
2. For each FNM, the store may distribute mini-boosters, which are to be redrafted (draft order follows that FNM’s standings).
3. At the end of the season, the following prizes are awarded:
   • Top 1: ⁠The Monarch token to be signed and kept throughout every league season, later to be passed on to the next season’s winner.
   • Top 4: Redraft of playsets of the following cards in Japanese language: ⁠Stoneforge Mystic (WWK), ⁠Tarmogoyf (TSR), ⁠Daze (EMA), ⁠Mishra's Bauble (2XM). Players pick playsets, not individual cards. One playset per player.
   • Top 5: One MTG booster each, to be opened. A player whose rare + foil card has the lowest combined value (according to Cardmarket’s price trend) is additionally given a Hareruya playmat.
   • Top 15: Lords of Legacy foil tokens: ⁠Orc Army and ⁠Clue.
   • All the remaining players who participated in this season: Lords of Legacy tokens: ⁠Orc Army and ⁠Clue.
4. The first person to score at least 20 points (or in the case of a tie, the first to surpass their tied opponents—the “last man standing”) wins a unique version of the card ⁠Surgical Extraction.

1. This solution has been discussed and approved by the FNM organizer. ↩︎

2. The exception is when the tardy player receives a bye. It is not a standard practice to intentionally assign a bye to a player who is late. In exceptional cases, the situation should be discussed with the players, and the round may be restarted (which implies changing the pairings). ↩︎
