Is there a guideline for prizes on events such as Skirmishes or Nexus Nights? Usually it's a 5€ fee with only a few Nexus Nights packs as prizes?
According to the Tournament Rules, Riftbound does not have a single mandatory prize structure for specific event types like "Skirmishes" or "Nexus Nights." Prize distribution is determined by the Competition Organizer (CO) within the guidelines of the Tournament Rules and the specific Organized Play Level (OPL) of the event.
Here is the relevant framework regarding prizes:
- CO Responsibility: Rule 204.3.e states that the Competition Organizer is responsible for providing all materials necessary to operate the event, which includes the prize support.
- Bribery and Prize Sharing: While you cannot bribe players for match outcomes (Rule 704.5), players are permitted to agree to share prizes that have not yet been awarded, provided this agreement is not in return for any in-game action, a specific game/match outcome, or a player dropping from the tournament (Rule 704.5.b).
- Dividing Prizes in Single-Elimination: Rule 704.5.c and 704.5.d outline specific procedures for dividing prizes evenly or mutually agreeing on a winner in the single-elimination portion of a tournament, provided it is done with the tournament organizer’s permission.
Because "Nexus Nights" or "Skirmish" events are often run as Low OPL events, the specific prize distribution is usually set by the local store or organizer. If you are participating in a specific event, you should consult the event's official page, the event's addenda (which take precedence over general rules per Rule 104.3), or speak directly with the Tournament Organizer to understand their prize structure.
I noticed multiple unrelated questions. I've answered the first one — please ask the others in separate messages so I can give each one proper attention.
