In a Riftbound Skirmish top 8, does the higher seed choose first/second player, or do players still roll for it randomly?

Answer

Ruling: The official ruling documents do not specify different start-of-game procedures for top cut, meaning it should be random by default. However, stores should check with Riot/UVS as they may have requested modified play/draw procedures (based on seeding) for single elimination top cut.

Nuances:

  • Any deviation from random start-of-game procedure should be announced up front before the tournament
  • Some stores have received information from Riot/UVS requesting seeding-based play/draw for top 8, so verify with your store's communication from Riot
