Icrontic MTG Draft League 2013: St Pats!
Another year brings another Icrontic MTG Draft League.
We have many skilled Plainswalkers here in the Icrontic community, so we pit ourselves against each other in our annual MTG draft league. We begin this year with MTG set GateCrash.
Format:
Our format this year will be sealed/draft with each player receiving three sealed GateCrash booster packs and draft an additional two. Players have 30 minutes for sealed building then 30 minutes to finalize after drafting. The tournament will be Swiss style with tie-breaker rounds as needed.
Subsequent events will be draft only.
Scoring:
Scoring is the same for events and overall for the league. Event league determines the individual event winner and the winner of the one additional pack to be added to that player's pool. Ties at events will be handled in a best of 3 tiebreaker match.
Winning a match awards 3 points towards your "season score".
Tieing a match awards 1 point towards your "season score".
Losing a match awards 0 points towards your "season score".
Card pool rules and changes:
Players may only alter their card pool in one of three ways.
1) Being the winner of the previous year awards one card to your card pool. This card can only be added once and never changed once added.
2) Trading is only allowed in the time period after the previous event has been finished until players sit down at the table and begin drafting for the next event. No trading is allowed during an official event. To preserve balance, each player is limited to three one to one trades per event. Trades can be made with any number of players.
3)The last way in which a card pool may be manipulated is with the induction of cards from an official draft league event (not to be confused with other Icrontic run drafts that may occur outside of the league. The cards added to the pool per an event and are listed above. These cards included drafted cards and prize pack.
@Lincoln as runner up from draft 2012, if you choose to participate in this years draft league, you will be able to carry a card from last year on. Please post which card, if any, that you choose.
Cost:
Will be based on participation. If we have 7+ I can order a box of packs and the cost will be around $13 per person. Pricey for the first round, but everyone will end up with five packs. Future events are draft only and will be around $8.
Post here if you want to play so I can get a headcount, Thanks!

Subsequent events will only be draft so, that will be around $5 per.
I will supply the prize booster packs; 2 to first place and one to second and third. They may be added to your Draft League card pool.
