Important information regarding system crashes and refunds for Premier Events
If during your event the system crashes, 1 of 3 things will happen:
-
The system will come right back up. In this case:
- Events will continue and additional time will be given to allow players to finish the event
- No Compensation will be given
-
The system cannot recover the event and "finishes" (prematurely ends) the event, or a WOTC Tournament Coordinator must "finish" (prematurely end) the event.
- We will accept the prize payouts "as is" - This means that whatever prize payouts and invites the system awards, we will not change what the system does.
- No changes will be made to these events from what the system automatically pays out as prizes or invitations
If the event is in TOP 8:
- No product or tickets will be refunded
- All players keep the product used to enter the event as well as the drafted cards from the TOP 8 draft.
If the event is still in Swiss Rounds:
-
The event is cleared or cancelled by the system. If an event is cancelled this means the event can no longer be viewed in the premier event listings.
