The DCI™ Sanctioned Tournament Format Chart

HOW TO USE THIS CHART: The DCI sanctions several tournament formats, so sometimes distinguishing them can be somewhat confusing. We have prepared this chart to help you identify the tournament formats that you enjoy. Locate the rating category at the top of the chart, and then check under the appropriate date to learn which formats are sanctioned. Refer to the list at the bottom of the chart to find out which card sets are legal in each tournament format.
