Waitlist information
Should there be a need for a waitlist, we'd like to inform players about our waitlist protocols in an efforts to clear up any questions. The waitlist box below will only open once registration has been sold out (or in the event there's a few remaining spots due to the line queue for purchasing tickets and will not be opened beforehand).
As players drop from the event before the refund deadline, players will be contacted from the waitlist in the order which their forms were received. They will have a specific amount of time to send payment and should this time period not be respected, they will forfit their waitlist spot and we will proceed to the next player in the waitlist.
Once the refund window will close on February 27th at 11:59 PM EST, we will be sending a waitlist email to all remaining players on the waitlist. Carta Magica will be specifying waitlist instructions on how players will be able to sign up with a waitlist event link the following morning. Any players who manage to get in from the waitlist must make sure to have their decklists ready in TCG+ to ensure we do not have any delays in starting the tournament on time.
**Disclaimer** It is extremely likely that their will be more waitlist attendees then spots available. The tickets sold during this portion of registration will be a first come first served situation for those on the waitlist.
