VEKN Tournament Rules 2011

For a rather large event like the European VtES Championship 2011, a framework is required for providing the necessary infrastructure in terms of rules, responsibilities and procedure.

Beside the actual VtES rulebook the second most important document for running a VtES tournament are the VEKN Tournament Rules. While VtES rules provide the necessary rules for running a single game of VtES, the VEKN Tournament Rules provide the necessary framework for running whole tournaments.

Furthermore the VEKN website hosts the following documents/information:

• The V:EKN Judges' Guidelines help judges resolve play errors and determine the appropriate penalty for infractions that occur during the course of a game or tournament.
• The VtES Rulings is a list of general and card specific rulings, that have been accumulated over the past 15 years.
• The Complete Rules Reference gives a tabular overview of the game with special emphasis on the the different phases with a game turn.
• The list of banned cards for VtES tournaments is part of the VEKN tournament rules, but deserves a special mentioning here.
