End of Game Procedures
Once a game ends, players in the game proceed through the following steps:
Players turn all characteristically-defined, face-down cards in all public zones face-up.
Players determine if the game-winning player has won enough games to have won the match. If a player wins the match, players proceed through go through End of Match procedures.
If no player has won the match, players may begin sideboarding for the subsequent game.
After sideboarding is finished, players go through Start of Game Procedures and begin the next game: The losing player may select who becomes the first turn player for the next game. They may do this at any point until step 3 of Start of Game Procedures. If they do not designate a first turn player, they are assumed to be the first turn player.
At the end of a game, any face-down cards in public zones must be turned face-up and revealed to all players before cards are collected for sideboarding and reshuffling.
