The tournament featured 36 enrolled players competing across 6 Swiss rounds followed by a single-elimination Top 8. The format was Premodern, tabletop tournament type.
The event was conducted under the Infraction Procedure Guide (IPG) to ensure fair play and competitive integrity. A designated judge oversaw rulings and maintained a professional tournament environment.
The champion received a unique trophy along with framed Japanese 7th Edition painlands and an exclusive Champion Playmat. Prizes were awarded to the Top 12, with over 15 raffles for participants. Each participant received a sealed Jon Finkel World Championship Masticore, a Chinese Fourth Edition FBB altered Mountain, and three Premodern Society stickers.
