807 - Booster Draft Formats
  • 807.1 - Players sit in groups of 7 or 8 players.
  • 807.2 - In "Rochester Draft" format, each group starts with 3 booster packs per player. The judge lays out one booster pack (15 cards) on the table and players are given 20 seconds to review the cards. The first pick starts with the player on the judge's left and players pick one card each going around the table to the left. The second booster pack goes around the table to the right, starting on the judges' right. When the rotation gets to the last player, they pick 2 cards and the rotation reverses direction until the booster pack is depleted.
  • 807.3 - Each player gets 5 seconds to select a card, and touching one is considered selecting it.
  • 807.4 - Players may add as many basic lands as they want to their cards after drafting and between games. [Tournament Rules 1997/10/01]
