Tournament Structure
Time Frame
Each game takes approximately four to six months to complete if everybody works to keep the games moving. Ideally, we will complete the tournament by the end of 2021. The reality is that we will probably complete the final in the spring of 2022.
Round 1: Game assignments will be done by February 7th 2021. This set of games should be completed by October 31st. Games are subject to adjudication by the GM team at any time after that date.
Final: This will begin approximately one week after the last first round game is completed.
Game Options

Important Notes
Trades
One of the most common questions regarding online ACV is how trading works. There is a ‘trade market’ where each player can list cards they have and what they are looking for. Players will then negotiate by email. When they reach an agreement, they go onto the site and move the cards into the drop-down trade box. As soon as both players have put their cards into the trade box, the system emails them to give the results of the trade. A separate mail is sent to all other players stating that a trade was made, and what cards they say that they traded.
Special note: Once players are finished trading, they generally click "done"and take themselves out of the market. In real life, this would be like putting your hand down and walking away from the table. Once there is only one player left in the trade market, trading can end at any time (even prior to the scheduled close time) without notice.
