Welcome! My name is Jackson, and it is my honour to host the first Netrunner National Championship ever for Queensland, in Brisbane. This two-day event will be open to players of all skill levels, so as long as you have a basic grasp of the game rules, please join us for what I'm confident will be loads of fun and excitement for any Netrunner fan!

Saturday: Standard format, Single-Sided Swiss, 40 minute rounds. Number of rounds dependent on number of attendees, likely 6 or 7. Competitive-tier event rules apply - meaning decklists are required and alt-art cards must follow the rules outlined in the NSG Organised Play Policies document. All cards must be in opaque sleeves.

Sunday: Top cut, likely top 8. All other attendees are welcome to participate in a second Startup format side event tournament, or spectate the top cut.

All attendees will receive at least two prizes regardless of placement - including an EXCLUSIVE alternate art Mindscaping illustrated by Mauricio Herrera.

Please note that participants under the age of 18 are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Requirements for Entry
Here's a list of what you'll need to bring with you in order to participate in the tournament:

• Your decks (one Corp and one Runner)
  • Opaque sleeves for your decks
• Spare sleeves
• Null Signal Games (NSG) versions (or proxies thereof) of any non-NSG alt-art cards you intend to use
• Decklists (required for the main event and top cut only)
• Your tokens
• Proof of ticket purchase

Sleeves
Opaque sleeves cannot be seen through. NSG published this guide (https://nullsignal.games/blog/sleeves/) many years ago illustrating the problem with some sleeves. Please make sure your cards cannot be seen through your sleeves! If you'd like recommendations or assistance with acquiring opaque sleeves, please contact me at [email protected] and I'll do what I can do to help.

Staying on the topic of sleeves, I can't stress how important it is that you bring extras! If one of your sleeves breaks or becomes marked in some way during the tournament you will need to replace it or you won't be able to continue playing.

Alternate Art Cards
If you intend to include alternate art cards in your decks which have not been produced by Null Signal Games, these cards must follow the guidelines listed in Appendix III of the NSG Organised Play Policies document. You can find the document here: https://nullsignal.games/organizers/organized-play-policies/

If you are not sure whether the cards you intend to bring to the tournament will be suitable, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] with photos of the cards in question, or make sure you bring an official version (or proxy of an official version) of any such card, just in case!

Other Helpful Information
Here are some links to some helpful information about attending a Netrunner tournament. The YouTube video is geared towards something much bigger like the World Championship, but a lot of the advice there is still applicable for a Nationals-level tournament.
