This charity Netrunner Tournament is hosted on Jinteki.net, running on December 5th, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Hemophilia Society, Manitoba Chapter (CHS-MC). This tournament fundraiser is hosted by Chapter member, Eric Keilback.
CHS-MC is a non-profit charity organization dedicated to improving the lives of those with inherited bleeding disorders in the Province of Manitoba. Proceeds from the Netrunner tournament will help fund many education programs like our Family Camp. We provide direct services such as providing wheelchair rentals, reimburse parking at the hospital and courier delivery of medication when a member is unable to collect it themselves. We support children, adults and their families who are managing hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. Please visit the Chapter website to see a comprehensive list of Member Services and Chapter programs.
Registration:
Tournament Legality
Format: Throwback
Using Standard Ban List 20.09 with the additional bans of Data Leak Reversal, Blackmail, Estelle Moon
This tournament will be run in the Throwback format, a new format devised for this tournament. Throwback has identical set legality and ban list legality, with two changes. A player may include up to three copies of a single rotated card in each of their decks or play as a rotated identity. Additionally, Data Leak Reversal, Blackmail and Estelle Moon have been added to the ban list, to improve deck diversity. For example, a player may play three copies of Desperado in their runner deck, while using Engineering the Future as their corporation ID. A short FAQ explaining Throwback will be at the bottom of this page.
