Show list

[nsammael]

Hi, guys.

In our community, we have a question about if its obligatory to show your list in top8 to your opponent. I searched in floor and tournament rules, but i don't find anything. We don't know if it's TO or HJ who take decision about this.

Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish

Thanks in advance

In tournaments here, it is pretty much up to the Head Judge.  Some do, some don't, but by no means is there a consensus.  Really, as long as you tell the players what is going to happen at the start of the event, so that they will know ahead of time, it shouldn't cause any problems.

According to the latest DCI policy, decklists are not public information and should not be given to the players during the Top8. That is not up to the HJ decision. Showing decklists is not permitted.

Thanks, guys.

This information is very useful.

Where can i find the DCI policy?


Thanks again.

That policy was posted on the Judge list. I can't find the original email but here is the relevant excerpt I had archived :

Deck lists are a tool for verification, and are not public information.
Because our own media coverage can create an imbalance in the availability of this information, we sometimes decide to share deck lists among Top 8 competitors. (This is typical for multi-day events with on-line coverage - Pro Tours, Worlds, some National Championships and even some Grand Prix.)

For your local events, deck lists remain private and thus there is no need to share them.

Ah, I see I left out a sentence - mea culpa. "Decklists are not public information and should not be shared with other competitors."
