[LSJ/Robert Goudie] Sanctionable limited format

Hi LSJ, Robert, or whoever may be able to help. Under section 7.2.3. Card Use - Limited Tournaments Players may use only the actual cards they receive or draft at a Limited tournament, and any additional cards specifically provided by the tournament organizer. Players may not trade or replace the cards they receive or draft at a Limited tournament with any other cards, even if the replacement is an exact copy. If a card is damaged or otherwise considered "marked," players must comply with section 7.2.4 - Abnormal Decks, Boosters, and Cards. As such, would it be possible to run and have sanctioned/rated a limited event where I provide 50 vampires and 150 library cards to each of the players, from which they must construct their decks. The idea is that everyone has exactly the same 50 vampires and 150 library cards. If it wouldn't be possible directly like this, then I presume it would if each player drafted one booster, and then the rest of the cards were provided by myself (the tournament organiser). I am planning an event like this, and would like to know if we can get this sanctioned. I tried a google search, but it didn't come up with anything like this. Cheers Andy

You could do an "exactly the same set" by providing everyone with, say, the same group of fixed starters (precons), or by providing your own recipe of fixed cards. > If it wouldn't be possible directly like this, then I presume it would > if each player drafted one booster, and then the rest of the cards > were provided by myself (the tournament organiser). Certainly, but the booster is superfluous to the sanctionability. > I am planning an event like this, and would like to know if we can get > this sanctioned.
