If time is called while a non-active player is acting during the active player’s end step, then the following turn is treated as the final one. If no player has won by that point, the result is a draw. Semifinals run 120 minutes. If time is called and the table cannot agree on a concession where one player is clearly winning, the match goes to sudden death. The player with the highest life total wins. If there is a tie for highest life total, only the tied players continue until a change in life totals breaks the tie. Finals are untimed. Prizing features a draft by the top pod, in finishing order, from four dual lands: Tropical Island, Underground Sea, Tundra, and Scrubland. The finalists may also choose to split the value. Additional prizes will be based on attendance.

This local race at Noonday BMX Bike Track offers practice and registration, counts for single district points, and has a $10 fee.

Emil Thomas Entertainment presents a stage piece written by Robert King Jr. that honors soul legend Donny Hathaway, tracing his artistry and complex personal journey. Framed as the last night of his life inside the Essex House Hotel in New York City, the drama introduces Pamela Robinson, a fictional visitor whose single question sparks an imagined final performance.
