Is it mandatory that a deck contain an event for tournaments, or do the same deck building principles (51 cards no event, 56 with) apply as normal?

It's not mandatory to run events. Standard deckbuilding rules apply.

Thanks, just wanted to double check

how come it was changed from top 8 playing for the win, to top 4?

It seemed to be an agreed upon concept with active players at the tournaments this year.  First benefit is it decreases the playoffs by a round allowing for another round of Swiss play.  People also were under the belief that an 8th ranked player shouldn't have an opportunity to play and knock out a 1 ranked based off one game.  I may not be under complete aggreeance, but based off the last two tournaments it is quite an efficient format. And often produces the strongest deck and player as the winner for the day.  If you have thoughts they are always warranted as the new tournament season will start next year and rules and formats will be chatted about over winter. 

As for the renege ruling for the OVERPOWER CHAMPIONSHIPS

it was discussed between judging parties, that to keep things simple and to address the issue. We are implementing three things. First if there is any play made, missed by one party and not brought up by the other for any reason. It becomes a legal play for the game.  This is controversial I know. However we can't have a judge sit at every game. Onus is always on players to find mistakes.  Secondly, if there is an error in play or cheating. The player is to call over the judge and then the judge will take over the situation. NO CHOICE will be left to the player at this point, you can not say whether the renege happens or not.  This is to eliminate any intimidation from players.  Lastly,  should a renege occur. All renege rules will be followed and the offended player will get to chose an additional mission to advance one level (players choice).

Though I am unsure this will remedy all scenarios, until we discuss it as a whole again for the community over winter.  This should suffice. Applied to all renege scenarios of the year it would have made a big difference.  There will also be a warning system placed on top.  Should three reneges happen to one player in the tournament, they will be asked to concede the tournament.  Should they refuse they will be disqualified. 

Should you have any concerns please message me.  I do not want this discussed in this thread.

Thank you,

The championships are around the corner. 

Will you be there ?

i am for top 8 to battle it out. i am a bit green from the years off and it has taken sometime to get the "big boy" cars, but we all come to play and one bad round may knock you out. in my opinion more games the better.

What are the rules regarding your opponents various piles (dead, power pack)?  Am I allowed to sort through it upon request?  The deck, obviously not

No. Neither are you allowed to sort through your own dead pile or power pack.

If you are concerned about an illegal deck, you can request a judge to go through your opponent's deck to look for any offending card(s).

Of course, this doesn't apply if you play a special that allows for you to sort through either yours, opponent's cards. (Deathstrike, Web head etc.)

Would we be able to have the Venture piles clearly defined?  like a sheet of paper that says Completed, Reserve and Defeated?  I'm an idiot and don't keep track of venture well so this would help me keep track of the ventures, mine and my opponents.

I personally wouldn't have a problem with that, since venture piles are always above board. We'd have to clear that with the others before I confirm but I'm not opposed.

Obviously, though, you're not allowed to take notes about your opponent's discards and plays, etc.

Interesting, thanks.  That's actually contrary to most other card games.

I asked not because I was concerned about cheating, but because I had to make a decision during a test game which came down to statisticalt probability.  The power back and its contents were a factor of that.
