The '''DCI''' (formerly, '''Duelists' Convocation International''') is the official sanctioning body for competitive play in [[Magic: The Gathering]] and various other games produced by [[Wizards of the Coast]] and Avalon Hill. The DCI provides game rules, tournament operating procedures, and other materials to private tournament organizers and players. It also operates a judge certification program to provide consistent rules enforcement and promote fair play.
The '''DCI''' (originally, '''Duelists' Convocation International'''<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/first-dci-tournament-2009-08-06|The First DCI Tournament|[[Magic Arcana]]|August 06, 2009}}</ref>) was the official sanctioning body for competitive play in ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' and various other games produced by [[Wizards of the Coast]] and Avalon Hill until [[2020]]. Most player-facing aspects of the DCI system are now handled by a player's Wizards Account via the [[Magic: The Gathering Companion]] app from [[Wizards Play Network]].  


In order to play in sanctioned events, players must register for a free membership and receive a DCI number (PIN). The DCI maintains a global player ratings database using the ELO rating system and members have access to their entire tournament history online. If a member commits frequent or flagrant rules infractions, his or her membership can be suspended for variable amounts of time depending on the severity, from one month to a lifetime.
==History==
Created in January [[1994]], the DCI provided game rules, tournament operating procedures, and other materials to private tournament organizers and players.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/dci-organizes-magic-play-2009-06-01|The DCI Organizes Magic Play|Jason Carl|June 01, 2009}}</ref> It also operated a [[judge]] certification program to provide consistent rules enforcement and promote fair play.

==DCI numbers==
Up until 2020, players had to register for a free membership and receive a DCI number ([[Wikipedia:Personal identification number|PIN]]) in order to play in sanctioned events.<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/lowest-dci-number-2009-12-23|The Lowest DCI Number|[[Magic Arcana]]|March 05, 2009}}</ref> The DCI maintained a global player ratings database using the [[Wikipedia:Elo rating system|Elo rating system]] and members had access to their entire tournament history online. The Elo was once used to qualify for professional play, but it eventually was abandoned as players refused to play and risk their rating once achieved. The Elo was otherwise private, though a fan-tracked system was implemented for interested viewers. If a member committed frequent or flagrant rules infractions, their membership could be suspended for variable amounts of time depending on the severity, from one month to a lifetime.
 
On May 27, 2020, DCI numbers and [[Planeswalker Points]]  were sunsetted and access to the Planeswalker Points website was removed.<ref name="Sunsetting">{{WebRef|url=https://magic.gg/news/sunsetting-planeswalker-points|title=Sunsetting Planeswalker Points|author=[[Wizards of the Coast]]|date=April 27, 2020|publisher=[[Magic.gg]]}}</ref> Future in-store play and [[esports]] events, as well as other play opportunities, would require players to have a valid Wizards Account which worked with the [[Magic: The Gathering Companion]] app and a new event tool for local game stores.

=== [[Magic: The Gathering]] ===
=== ''Magic: The Gathering'' ===
The DCI maintains three basic ratings categories for Magic: [[Constructed]], [[Eternal]], and [[Limited]]. Each category supports a number of related tournament formats. A player's tournament performance in one of the categories does not affect their rating or ranking in the others.
The DCI maintains three format categories for ''Magic'': [[Constructed]], [[Eternal (format)|Eternal]], and [[Limited]]. Each category supported a number of related tournament formats.
 
==== [[Constructed (format)|Constructed]] ====
In ''[[Constructed (format)|Constructed]]'' tournaments, decks must consist of no fewer than 60 cards, and no more than four of any one card. The basic lands and (in formats where it is legal) the card <c>Relentless Rats</c>, however, may be used in any quantity. A Banned List of specific cards is maintained for each format.
 
Additionally, a 15-card ''[[sideboard]]'' is permitted, from which a player may tweak his or her deck during a match to better deal with their opponent's strategy. Following the first game of a best-two-of-three match, each player is permitted to replace any number of cards in his or her deck with an equal number of cards from his or her sideboard. The original deck configuration is restored at the conclusion of the match.
*[[Extended]] uses cards from the last eight [[block]]s and the last three [[Core Set]]s.
*[[Standard]] (or Type II) uses cards from the last two blocks in print and the current core set.
*[[Block Constructed]] permits only cards from a single "block" of up to three sets. Most tournaments use only the most recent block, but each block is potentially available, if announced ahead of time.
 
==== [[Eternal format|Eternal]] ====
''[[Eternal]]'' formats follow the basic [[Constructed]] [[format]] rules for deck construction, but expands the available cards to include virtually all published ''Magic'' sets. The ratings are kept separate from other Constructed formats because of the barrier to the participation of new players. While ratings and rankings are maintained for this category, only ''[[Limited]]'' and ''[[Constructed]]'' format rankings are used for invitations to major tournaments, like Pro Tours or World Championships.
* '''[[Vintage]]''' (formerly Type I) is the only format to have a Restricted List. Each card on this list is limited to one per deck instead of the customary four. This is the only format that allows the "[[Power Nine]]".
* '''[[Legacy]]''' (formerly Type 1.5) uses the same sets as Vintage, but only has a Banned List and not a Restricted List.
 
Vintage and Legacy were very closely related until September 1st, 2004, when R&D decided that splitting the formats was a good idea. Certain cards formerly banned in Legacy were unbanned and the format was allowed to develop on its own. Legacy once had a reputation for being the "poor man's Vintage" but today has developed into a format very distinct from Vintage.


==== [[Limited]] ====
=== Participation eligibility===  
''[[Limited]]'' tournaments are based on a pool of cards which the player receives at the time of the event. Any number of basic lands may also be added to the deck. The decks in limited tournaments need only be 40 cards minimum; all of the unused cards function as the sideboard.
{{Main|DCI/Participation eligibility}}
 
There are three common types of limited tournaments.
* '''Sealed deck''': Players each receive a sealed tournament pack of 75 cards, 30 of which are basic lands, and two or three booster packs of 15 cards.
* '''Booster draft''': Players each receive three booster packs of 15 cards. After being seated around a table, each player simultaneously opens one booster pack, selects a single card, and then passes the remaining cards to the next player over. After all players have drafted fifteen cards, they each open their second pack, and drafting continues. Players examine privately the cards they receive; direct communication between drafters is not allowed. A booster draft normally comprises eight players, but sometimes fewer will suffice. Once players have built their decks, they compete against the other players in the draft.
* '''Rochester draft''': Players each receive three booster packs of 15 cards. One player's first pack is opened, the cards are placed upon a table for all to see, and the players take turns selecting one card at a time until the pack is exhausted. The next player's pack is then opened, and drafting continues. A Rochester draft normally comprises eight players, but ''team Rochester'' uses two teams of three players each, who may communicate non-verbally during the draft.

Multiple Pro Tours are run every year around the world. A Pro Tour season begins in January (starting with the 2006 season), with an event held roughly every two months culminating at the Magic: The Gathering World Championship. In the months proceeding each Pro Tour, local qualifiers (Pro Tour Qualifiers) are held around the world, where invitations are earned. Players accumulate ''Pro Points'' by attending Pro Tour events and can receive many more by placing highly. Pro Tours are invitation-only events, and only players with either a PTQ invitation, high number of ''Pro Points'', or high DCI ranking can attend.

World Championships are played over five days, and an invitation is required to be eligible for play. An invitation is obtained either by placing very highly in a National Championship, or having a high enough DCI ranking. The World Championships are now held at the end of the year usually in November/December, most recently (2006) in Paris, France.

The payout isn't as big as for a Pro Tour and winning a Grand Prix is not as prestigious, but they still attract international competition, as Pro Points are awarded to high finishing players. Grand Prix tournaments are also held both in the United States and in other countries. Some recent Grand Prix events have been in: New Orleans, Los Angeles, Brussels, Beijing, Taipei, Eindhoven, and other diverse cities. Many players enjoy travelling to Grand Prix tournaments simply to travel and to see the sights around the world.

The DCI (originally, Duelists' Convocation International[1]) was the official sanctioning body for competitive play in Magic: The Gathering and various other games produced by Wizards of the Coast and Avalon Hill until 2020. Most player-facing aspects of the DCI system are now handled by a player's Wizards Account via the Magic: The Gathering Companion app from Wizards Play Network.

History

Created in January 1994, the DCI provided game rules, tournament operating procedures, and other materials to private tournament organizers and players.[2] It also operated a judge certification program to provide consistent rules enforcement and promote fair play. Starting in 2008, and completed in 2020, the DCI has been replaced by the Wizards Play Network.[3]

DCI numbers

Up until 2020, players had to register for a free membership and receive a DCI number (PIN) in order to play in sanctioned events.[4] The DCI maintained a global player ratings database using the Elo rating system and members had access to their entire tournament history online. The Elo was once used to qualify for professional play, but it eventually was abandoned as players refused to play and risk their rating once achieved. The Elo was otherwise private, though a fan-tracked system was implemented for interested viewers. If a member committed frequent or flagrant rules infractions, their membership could be suspended for variable amounts of time depending on the severity, from one month to a lifetime.

On May 27, 2020, DCI numbers and Planeswalker Points were sunsetted and access to the Planeswalker Points website was removed.[5] Future in-store play and esports events, as well as other play opportunities, would require players to have a valid Wizards Account which worked with the Magic: The Gathering Companion app and a new event tool for local game stores.

Tournament formats

The DCI sanctions tournaments for a variety of games. Unlike those of many other game producers, a significant proportion of DCI events are organized and run by independent businesspeople and hobbyists, as opposed to by retailers.

Magic: The Gathering

The DCI maintains three format categories for Magic: Constructed, Eternal, and Limited. Each category supported a number of related tournament formats.

Major tournaments

Pro Tour

Multiple Pro Tours were run every year around the world. A Pro Tour season began in August (starting with the 2012 season), with an event held roughly every three months, In the months proceeding each Pro Tour, local qualifiers (Pro Tour Qualifiers) are held around the world, where invitations are earned. Players accumulated Pro Points by attending Pro Tour events and can receive many more by placing highly. Pro Tours are invitation-only events, and only players with either a invitation (For most cases, finishing high in Grand Prix or Regional Pro Tour Qualifiers), high number of Pro Points can attend.

Winning a Pro Tour was every competitive Magic player's dream. Currently, each Pro Tour carries a total purse of $240,245 [US], with the winner receiving $40,000 [US] (the exact payout varies by player's match record). Other benefits to top finishers include invitations to future Pro Tours, with the highest-ranking players over the course of several Pro Tour stops receiving additional prize money for participation.

World Championship

The most prestigious tournament of all was the Magic: The Gathering World Championship, where the best of the best in previous season played against each other until the world champion was crowned. World Championships used to be played over four to five days, and an invitation was required to be eligible for play. This could be by winning a pro tour, placing very highly in Pro Points ranking, or finishing overall first in either Standard or Limited portion in the previous Pro Tour season.

Grand Prix

Grand Prix tournaments were open to everyone, both amateurs and professionals. The payout wasn't as big as for a Pro Tour and winning a Grand Prix was not as prestigious, but they still attracted international competition, as Pro Points and Pro Tour invitations were awarded to high finishing players.

Invitational

Main article: Magic Invitational

The Magic Invitational (formerly the Duelist Invitational) was a non-sanctioned tournament held for the 16 highest performers of the year. The winner of the World Championship, the Pro Tour Player of the Year, and several fan-voted players were among the contestants in a who's-who of professional Magic. The prize of this tournament is not money but rather the opportunity to design a new card for an upcoming expansion. When the card is printed, its artwork traditionally depicts the victor as well. It was retired after 2007 running.

Other tournaments

Prerelease tournaments were held in hundreds of locations around the world twelve to thirteen days before each new expansion, or set, is available for sale in stores. The prerelease provided a casual play atmosphere and provides an enjoyable atmosphere to get a preview of new cards. At Prelease tournaments, a special prerelease card is given away.

Friday Night Magic (FNM) and Arena League (now defunct) were offered in many local game stores and clubs, allowing local players to compete for special foil DCI promo cards and other prizes.

Many other stores, school clubs, and community groups held DCI-sanctioned events on a regular basis. Events are also held at almost all gaming conventions, such as Origins International Game Expo and Gen Con.

Changes

Legend membership program

The DCI originally offered two different membership levels: The free Mana membership and the USD$30 Legend membership. While the Mana membership was sufficient to participate in DCI sanctioned tournaments, the Legend membership provided some additional items, including membership promos[6] and a Magic poker deck. In 2001 the Legend Membership Program was replaced by the Magic Player Rewards program.

Planeswalker Points

As of September 2011, a new system called Planeswalker Points was used instead of Pro Points. Planeswalker Points was designed to let all players, from casual to competitive to pro, track and show off how much they play and win in Magic events.[7] Starting in 2012, the number of large-scale tournaments were significantly increased.[8][9][10]

Retirement

On May 27, 2020 Planeswalker Points and DCI numbers were sunsetted and access to the Planeswalker Points website was removed.[5] Future in-store play and esports events, as well as other play opportunities, would require players to have a valid Wizards Account which worked with the Magic: The Gathering Companion from Wizards Play Network. This effectively also retired the DCI[3], although is still exist in name (see Tournament Rules).
