By running your tournaments with the DCI, you give your players the opportunity to develop ratings and rankings in the worldwide communities of their favorite games. However, perhaps even more important than access to ratings and rankings, sanctioning with the DCI says your events will follow a set of well-distributed rules and standards of play. This Tournament Organizer’s Handbook contains just about everything you’ll need to run your events—and if any changes take place to the materials included, you’ll be mailed updates.  \nGood luck with all your upcoming events!

Given that players are being measured based on their performance against each opponent using the Elo ratings system*, the results of each match must be reported to the DCI. You’ll find your first Match Report Form and Player Information List immediately behind these instructions. Please make copies of those forms for any future events you sanction with the DCI!  \nDCI Events—Step by Step, from Sanctioning to Reporting  \n1. Fill out a copy of the Tournament Sanctioning Application.  \n• Complete the DCI Sanctioning Application that applies to the appropriate game.  \n• Be sure to provide all the contact and event information you can, because your event will be listed in our website’s searchable upcoming events calendar. You may submit your sanctioning application to the DCI via fax at (425) 254-2987, or by mail at:  \nDCI Tournament Sanctioning  \nP.O. Box 1080 Renton, WA 98057  \n2.
