“Regular REL encourages a welcoming atmosphere and friendly competition.”◦ 97% of the tournaments were regular, only 3%
were competitive (France, 2013)◦ 12% of the players with a DCI-number have
played in a competitive tournament (France, 2013)

Fix: changes to the game state made by a judge after an infraction (can be no changes)
Deviation: choosing to do something other than what the document prescribes, concerning the fix or the penalty

Fixes/Deviations - definitions
Found in the “Common issues” paragraph. Infraction description followed by fix Example:
◦ “A player sees a card in a library that he or she shouldn’t have seen
◦ This is easily fixed by shuffling the card seen into the unknown portion of the library. Make sure to check if any player knows of any cards in the library (because an effect sent them to the bottom, for example), and ensure your fix preserves those cards.”

Some situations let you choose between two fixes◦ Examples : putting a forgotten trigger on the
stack or not, don’t do it if significant decisions have been made

Every word counts!◦ Example: “If the player received confirmation
from his or her opponent before drawing the card (including confirming the number of cards when greater than one), the infraction is not Drawing Extra Cards.”

from his or her opponent before drawing the card (including confirming the number of cards when greater than one), the infraction is not Drawing Extra Cards.”
◦ Example: “If the information needed to verify the legality was ever in a uniquely identifiable position (such as on top of the library or as the only card in hand) after the infraction was committed, do not upgrade the penalty and reveal the information if possible.

“Only the Head Judge is authorized to issue penalties that deviate from these guidelines.
The Head Judge may not deviate from this guide’s procedures except in significant and exceptional circumstances or a situation that has no applicable philosophy for guidance.”
Pierre Laquerre - Gérard Terpin - GP Vienna 2014
Deviations - IPG
“Significant and exceptional circumstances are rare — a table collapses, a booster contains cards from a different set, etc.
The Rules Enforcement Level, round of the tournament, age or experience-level of the player, desire to educate the player, and certification level of the judge are NOT exceptional circumstances.”
Pierre Laquerre - Gérard Terpin - GP Vienna 2014
Deviations - IPG
“If another judge feels deviation is appropriate, he or she must consult with the Head Judge.”
