Rules are as follow -

Format - Standard Pauper

Swiss rounds.  # of rounds depends on # of players.

What this means is decks are to be created with ONLY common cards from the current MTG Standard card sets.

So no uncommon, no rares.   This will put everyone on a pretty even deck level, and getting commons is very cheap if you need some for a deck.  

Also if you do not have the cards, or time to make a deck The Game Haven will have some pre-made Standard Pauper decks for sale at the even at  or around $5 or so in price.

Tournament signups -

Sign-ups will be done starting at 11am Saturday the event opens on the nexuslan.org website.   Sign-up deadline will be 1 hour before the event is to start.   Once the deadline is reached signups will be locked so that the admins can get teams and brackets created.   As soon as teams an brackets are created tournament admins will call all players up to announce the teams and who is playing on what server etc.

General Tournament rules for NeXus LAN Events -

Most of these go with out saying but wanted to make sure they were in writing.

1 - No cheating of any kind period.   If someone is caught cheating they will be DQed from the tournament, removed from the event, and asked not to come back again.    

2 - Treat everyone with respect as you would want to be treated.

3 - All players must use their own account when competing in a tournament.   You are not allowed to use another players account that is lvled up higher then yours etc.  (exceptions made by tournament admins only!)

4 - Matches will not be restarted due to a PC crash, etc.  The person that crashed just needs to reboot asap an get back into the game asap.

5 - If a player drops out of a team event mid tournament that team will have to go on minus a player.   Teams can not sub in a different player, nor can someone sit down at the players PC that dropped out and continue playing for that player.  Your team is set from the moment the tournament starts.

6 - Keep your language during the event and in tournaments as clean as possible.  The venue is a family facility and F-bombs etc are frowned upon.

7 - You are expected to have the game installed, patched, and ready to play at the start of the tournament.  If you are not prepared, you may be removed or replaced.  

8 - Above all HAVE FUN!

NOTE - Any an all rules are subject to change if needed before the tournament starts.
