Player Eligibility: Players may not be simultaneously enrolled in both tournaments. Players must have dropped from the sealed pack tournament if they wish to play in the constructed tournament. Players may participate in PCQs if they have already won an invitation to the Pro Circuit event for which the Qualifier offers an invitation. The invitation passes down to the highest finishing player who is not already qualified for the Pro Circuit.

Deck Registration:
Limited: In the Sealed Pack format, each player will receive four Marvel™ Origins boosters. Players will have 20 minutes to open the packs, sort the cards, register all the cards on the checklist, and turn in the registered cards and checklist to the judges. All registered decks will then redistributed at random. Players then have 30 minutes to construct a deck of at least 30 cards from the cards they receive. There is currently no side-deck in the Vs. System, so once the deck is completed and the decklist is registered and submitted, the deck must match this list throughout the entire tournament.
Constructed: Every player must provide us with a legible copy of their decklist. Blank decklist forms will be available at the tournament. We will also have judges on hand to check your deck and sleeves before the tournament begins. We HIGHLY recommend that players take advantage of this in order to avoid possible penalties later on.

Side Events: Booster draft and constructed side events will be offered throughout the day.

I thought that UDE changed the sealed to 5 boosters and draft to 4 packs?

Nah, the policy document still just says "three or more boosters".

That change will go into effect next PCQ season.
