Players are expected to complete and turn in the appropriate tax form before they can collect certain prizes. Decklists must be complete and accurate when they are collected: once collected, players will not be able to revise their list in any manner; any errors found will result in the appropriate tournament penalty.

Prizes awarded become the sole responsibility of the player, including redemption of prizes through third parties, transportation, and administrative costs associated with the prize. Cryptozoic Entertainment will award prizes based on tournament standings and will not adjust prize payouts based on negotiated prize splits.
