The format is typically pick two, with occasional prerelease style sessions using older set kits. After drafting, play continues in one on one Swiss pairings, and the top prize is determined at the end.

Players keep the cards used to build their decks.

Architectural Review Board meetings focus on proposed exterior changes within the Historic District and the findings of architectural compatibility that are often connected to a Certificate of Finding. The Board also provides recommendations on historic-district design guidelines and, when appropriate, on district boundaries. Meetings are held at the Economic Development Center and are open to the public. On rare occasions the Board may move into a brief closed session only for purposes permitted by Virginia law and only after an open-meeting vote that cites the specific exemption. If public comment is included on the agenda, speakers typically have three minutes and remarks should relate to Town business. Agendas and meeting packets are prepared for each session, minutes are recorded, and information about board membership is available. For questions about the Board or the Historic District process, contact the Town’s Planning and Community Development office at 540-829-8260.
