Here’s a practical guide to attending the C’mon! Katowice 2026:
Before the tournament
- Please make sure that you went through the registration process for either: Saturday Main event, Sunday Trio, or both. As always: in case of any issues - please contact us immediately at: support@cmonmagic.pl
- Pre-registration for any of the Saturday side events is NOT required. We do, however, encourage you to stay alert around Round 3 / Round 4 of the Main Event, when the registration lists for these events are going to be announced open - as the side events tend to fill out quickly
- After the registration to the Saturday Main Event, and receiving the confirmation e-mail, you should be able to log into your Melee account, and see yourself enrolled into the event. There you are required to upload your decklist before the tournament.</br>Please make sure to not to skip that step, so we cans avoid unnecessary delays on the day of the tournament. Paper decklists are neither required or accepted.
- After the registration to the Sunday Trios, the capitain of the Team will receive an e-mail with the request to confirm your squad, and - after doing so - will receive further instructions on where the Team’s decklists should be uploaded (NOT in Melee in case of the Trios).</br>The capitain (and only Him/Her) will also get enrolled into Melee, and represent your Team for the sake of pairings and standings
Coming into the venue
- Venue is located in the northern part of the city center, and thus is very well communicated. We can highly recommend getting there by a public transport (just aim at “Spodek”, e.g. in jakdojade), as the tournament takes place within the larger board games convention, so the area gets crowded that weekend
- Should you decide to drive to the event by car, please be aware that on Saturday, parking on some of the area around the venue (blue area on the map below) requires paying city fees. On Sunday street/public parking is free throughout the city. We could recommend looking for a parking spot west of the venue (pink-ish area on the map) first, and - would that be impossible - going further west to the parking of “Silesia City Center” mall, and coming to the venue by tram
Entering the venue
Where:
C’mon Katowice takes place in a Conference Center next to the “Spodek” hall, in collaboration with the “Planszówki w Spodku” board games convention (ticket to any of the C’mon! main events allows also to enter the convention on that day!). Look for the part of the main entrance to the building marked “Turniej MTG”. Please do NOT stand in the queue to the board game event (participants of the tournament can enter the building early), but rather look for a group of fellow pauperians standing near the main entry
Once in the building, go to the tournaments zone and you’re all set
When:
We do gather at the main entrance to the building at 9:00 AM on Saturday. Please make sure you’re there on time.
What to take with you:
Paper bands will be distributed to all the preregistered participants by name (just in case, you can take your ID with you). No paper or electronic ticket is required to get the band. Once you get the band, you can enter/leave the building at will
“… the Gathering”
- After the event we’re open to meet you in Kluboczajownia “Teoria”, walking distance (or: two tram stops) from the event site
You can order Tea (or other drinks) there while watching the tournament stream with other pauperians. Place serves no food, but you’re allowed to bring in (or order in) food from the outside
