# Team Standard Constructed

For Team Standard Constructed, players play on teams of 3 where each player is designated as player A, B, or C. Each player should provide their own main deck and material deck. There is no sideboard for this format.

\
Main decks must have a minimum of 60 cards with no more than four copies of any card. The four-copy restriction also applies across each team. E.g. Players A, B, and C can't each have 4 Refurbish cards in their main decks. The same applies to material decks and copies across material decks on a team, i.e., no more than one copy. There is no maximum deck size, however, players must be able to shuffle their main decks unassisted. Players can request assistance from a judge with shuffling if they feel there is a compelling reason to receive such assistance.

* Material decks have a 12-card limit, must have at least one Lv 0 champion, and cannot contain more than one copy of any one card.
* Players can't use the same Lv 0 Spirit champions in their Material decks. Named spirit cards are treated as an alias of their counterparts.

E.g. Player A and player B in a team cannot simultaneously use Spirit of Fire and Aithne, Spirit of Fire in a Team Standard Constructed event.

In this format, games are played in a setting of three simultaneous matches between players A, B, and C from one team against corresponding players from another team. Seating arrangements will consistently be A-B-C and each player will only play against the other team's matching player in seating order. A plays A, B plays B, etc. Only one game is played per paired player and each game win awards a team a point. The winner of a match in Team Standard constructed is the team with the most points after the three games conclude. A win is worth 3 points, a loss is worth 0 points, and a draw is worth 1 point.

* When Team tournaments are played, the higher-seeded top cut follows a modified structure for choosing which player in each pair plays the match. Starting with the higher seed team, they will select one of their player's matches and select the first turn player. Then, the lower seed team will pick from the remaining two player pairs and select the first turn player for those pairs. Last, the higher seed will pick the turn player for the last pair of players.

Teams must decide and declare their seating arrangement before the tournament begins. This seating arrangement will be kept constant for the entire tournament. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Player A, B, and C cannot change positions such that player A becomes seated in B's or C's position, player B becomes seated in player A's or C's position, etc.
{% endhint %}

Players may communicate with the closest teammate(s) in their seating arrangement. Such communication will not be considered outside assistance. Player A may not communicate with Player C in seating arrangements by any means. Other rules surrounding player communication still apply regarding appropriate and respectful communication.
