![]() | Text and/or other creative content from DCI (Wizards of the Coast) was copied or moved into Magic: The Gathering Organized Play with this edit on 18:42, 4 May 2019. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
The DCI is technically known simply as the DCI, not the Duelists' Convocation International. From the DCI Universal Tournament Rules (UTR): DCI: Organization dedicated to developing and maintaining tournament structures for trading card and miniatures games. Formerly an acronym for Duelists' Convocation International, the name is now simply the DCI.
Can the title of this page be changed to DCI? If so, I (or someone else) could add comments explaining that the DCI did once stand for Duelists' Convocation International. fsufezzik 21:01, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
This article is very centered on Magic: the Gathering, but the DCI also sanctions other Wizards of the Coast and Avalon Hill games. Seems like that ought to be mentioned somewhere, and maybe the high-level Magic events ought to be somewhere on their own. -- PeterCooperJr 14:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
This has become increasingly more prominent in tournaments (it's a new format). Can someone include this in the MTG section?
Should it be mentioned towards the end of the article that the DCI - in a way - has their own 'commemorative' Magic card: Look at Me, I'm the DCI? This could be a trivia section like entry or something. 130.231.89.99 10:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC) Matti Nuortio, Oulu, Finland
You're right, except Wikipedia is trying to eliminate Trivia sections. IF there's a way to fit it in without having to insert a trivia section by all means put it in. -- Kpsi355 ( talk) 02:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Image:Magic grandprix logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Just added a section about the judge program. While the content is fine the writing might be nicer. Somebody more capable than me should take a look at it and improve it. Thanks, OdinFK ( talk) 13:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
I think the Judge (Magic: The Gathering) page should be merged into this site. Most of the information is covered here anyway and this page is not so crowded as to require a spinoff. Thematically it belongs here as well. OdinFK ( talk) 08:16, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if Pikula won Invitational before Finkel or not, but I'm pretty sure that Meddling Mage is from Jon Finkel and Shadowmage Infiltrator is from Chris Pikula. I corrected it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.20.81.152 ( talk) 07:55, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
In the new section about rankings are a couple of links to tournament policy documents. Unfortunately the linked documents are replaced with newer versions from time to time. If anybody knows a place where the older versions can be accessed, then it would be helpful to replace the links I gave with those more static versions. OdinFK ( talk) 12:02, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Magic hasn't used Elo Rating for a while now, yet the article still says it does. votan ( talk) 09:18, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Furthermore, Elo Rating was maintained until February 2012, not September 2011. Hahahopp ( talk) 12:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
There is a ton of historic information mentioned in this article. Is it really useful to mention Extended, Block Constructed, Rochester Draft, Arena League, Hecatomb etc.? I am a bit hesitant to remove it all in a sweep, but it seems like the correct thing to do. Disagreements? OdinFK ( talk) 06:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
This article is out of date - there is no longer a separate entity called the "DCI", and save for some things that are still named for it (DCI numbers, DCI memberships), almost everything in this article would be better placed under either "Wizards Play Network" (sanctions stores and events), "Magic: the Gathering Organized Play" (types and formats of events, qualifying for events, etc), and "Magic: the Gathering Judge Program" (which is now completely separate from the above). Unfortunately, it's hard to do this without relying on primary sources.
I'd like to work on some such updates - transitioning this article to be mostly about the historical entity, writing/renovating articles about the WPN and Judge Program, and properly linking and sourcing them. First, I'd like to see if anyone would object to those sorts of changes. Thanks, IronWolf314 ( talk) 17:39, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
