1939 Games presents the KARDS Open X, powered by 983 Media. In this Open tournament, players will have two chances to make it into the top 16 through one of the two Swiss Qualifiers held on January 29th and February 5th.

The KARDS Open is all about gathering together, meeting new people, having fun, and playing KARSD. To that end, we will be doing a random giveaway between all those that sign up and play in the KARDS Open X qualifiers, where three lucky players will receive 4 officer packs once the qualifiers are complete.

Read on for a detailed breakdown of the different tournament stages.

[h2]STAGE ONE[/h2]

Starting Saturday, January 29th, with the swiss qualifiers, you will compete in a best of 3 free-for-all deck format. This means you can bring any deck you want and play it as many times as you'd like. No deck submissions and no deck restrictions! If you make the top 8 in this stage, you will advance to stage two.

The second chance qualifier will be Saturday, February 5th. This swiss bracket is open to any player who has not already made the top 8 cuts, so make sure to maximize your chances of making the top 16 by playing in both qualifiers.

[h2]STAGE TWO[/h2]

If you finish in the Top 8 from either of the stage one weekends, you will be qualified for the next stage - Saturday, February 26th to compete in the single-elimination best of 3 conquest. You will submit four of your best decks from four different main nations in this stage. (you will only use three of these decks for the first half of this bracket) You will ban one deck from your opponent and play a best of 3.

[h2]STAGE THREE[/h2]

If you've made it to the Top 4 on February 26th, you've made it to stage 3! In this stage, you will break out your 4th submitted deck and play in a best of 5 single elimination with one ban. These games will be broadcast live on Sunday, February 27th.
