Q. How long does one of these run? I would love to attend, but kids will want food and attention at some point. Is there some time between matches? Usually the four rounds of Swiss pairings take about 4 hours. If you reach the playoff rounds, that can last up to another 2 hours, putting the total time for finalists at around 6 hours. If you're playing control, you'll have less time between matches. Aggro decks tend to finish matches earlier than control. Q. Can you explain the columns in your match standings? TBD |
