!Important note regarding registration!

Firstly, only one player per team needs to register. The registering player will be considered "Player A."

Between now and Nov 21st Riftbound will have released its own tournament software and support for Carde.io will be discontinued. But fear not, NRG has ensured you can register with confidence. We are taking registration for all Riftbound events through the "Tickets" tab of each event, collecting player information, and will import that information into the new tournament software when it becomes available.
This means you can sign up now with confidence and all your info will be stored in our event page and then imported into the event at a later date. You will be able to submit decklists at the time player information is imported into the new client.
