Confirmation email

We will send you an email with your order number and confirmation of purchase. Please make a note of your order number as you will need to reference it if you need to confirm your ticket at a later date.

Legend units are not permitted at our events.

Policies and Procedures

We have a set of articles to break these down and help you find all that you need to know:

• The Reading List: What you need to know for a UKTC event.

• The Hobby Standard: What is expected and what you need for a tournament legal list.

Before the event

After registration completes, we will share out a list checking document, where you will be assigned two lists to check. This is to ensure that incorrect lists are identified and resolved before the event itself. If you do spot anything wrong in a list, please email our customer service as soon as possible to help get it resolved.

After the lists have been checked, we announce the first round pairings on Wednesday on Best Coast Pairings. This is where the fun really starts, from there you can start your preperation and get ready for the weekend and your games. We will also share a practical bits email, which contains specific information for that event.
