From the schedule I understand that the worlds will be played as single multiple round tournament without a final on sunday. Is this right?! Many thanks for an answer . I will check out if I have the ability to participate so would be good to have some insides. Cheers Heiner

Is it allowed to change the deck for the final four round (this was the way it was handled for a long long time) or the finalists have to keep their decks from the semifinals? There was a big discussion the last year, not sure if there was an offical decission regarding that for future WC tournaments?! So probably the WC organizer (you;-)) have to define that, the ealier the better so everyone has time to prepare his decks?! Cheers Heiner

7. Deck Integrity – Each player is required to use the same deck (i.e. the same location deck, play deck, sideboard, and pool) for the entire tournament. Players at in-person tournaments are expected to submit a written list of all cards in their deck(s) to the tournament coordinator, who may check integrity of decks during the tournament at their discretion. All players who reach playoff rounds must also submit their physical deck(s) to the tournament coordinator to ensure deck integrity based on the submitted written lists, and any player whose deck fails this integrity check will be disqualified from the event (to be replaced by the next highest ranked player, who will then have their physical deck(s) checked, etc.). Once the top four players with legally submitted decks are determined, physical decks will be returned to their owners immediately before playoff rounds commence.

English is not my mother language . See you in Montreal, already booked me a flight from Frankfurt today Cheers Heiner
