A local store owner, who calls himself a l1 Judge, has been running all his events with a standard 30 minute round time, with an extra turn policy of you have 30 seconds from the start of your turn to declare attackers, or your turn is over. I know this violates the MTR, but I am not sure whether anything can be done about it. When I, and other judges have talked to him about it, he banned us from the store, going so far as to tell Helene Bergeot that he liked the judge program minus some of us.

What should I do to make sure that local players are not being forced to play “Magic: What is Control?”

The required minimum is 40 minutes (for sanctioned matches). Please show them the Time Limits from the MTR's Appendix B.

Sounds like a perfect situation for voting with your feet.

Get advice from your RC, though.

I should add - if a store violates sanctioning policies, try to educate them. (Which you already tried.)

If a store knowingly violates policies, please contact Wizards - via Customer Service, or a WPN rep (if you happen to know/work with one).

Thank, I am in contact with Andy about this.
