Swiss standings is the way DCI reporter handles it. So if I go into the top 8 in 1st seed, and lose in the first round, I will end up in 5th place.

Proxy Rules[/b]:
There are two types of acceptable proxies for use at these events. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

Examples:
• Welding Jar or Spellbook can be used for a Mox or Black Lotus
• Disarm could be used for an Ancestral Recall
• Train of Thought for a Time Walk
• Counsel of the Soratami for a Timetwister.

How to Erase a Card:
Acetone and a cotton ball or q-tip works well, as does a pencil/ink eraser (the white/grey split type) using the grey side. Before erasing the card, take masking tape and tape off all the areas that you don't want erased for a clean edge. It will take time, but it will come off. 

Directions
For directions we recommend using Mapquest

Trading:
StarCityGames.com is the only dealer authorized to buy/sell/trade cards on both days of this event. While trading is fine, please note that buying/selling cards with anyone except for our authorized dealer, or solicting to do so elsewhere, is strictly forbidden at this event. Failure to obey this rule may result in both the buyer and the seller being removed from the event without refund, and banned from attending future events.

Star City Events and Mystic Gaming reserve the right to limit the amount of space being occupied by any one individual while trading, and do not allow the use of suitcases, handcarts, luggage carts, etc. to be used for the purpose of transporting excessive amounts of trade stock.

There are some sleeves that are listed as opaque and are really semi opaque and can be seen through. In addition to this, we want proxies clearly identifiable as proxies, so that judges can easily tell how many a player has when doing a deck check.

-Matt

We do not allow either of those for proxies at the SCG P9 Series.

You can pay via cc and you don't have to wait in line. It is however closed at this point.
