From 2014 to 2016, the Duel Commander Committee has created a structured internal organization, with 4 different roles, designed to better adapt to its needs. This structure has thrived, until now.

We decided it is now the time for us to change how we are structured, once again. Even though these changes are purely internal, we still think it is a good idea to publicly disclose to all of you how we work, who is part of the Committee and what the different positions are, whether they're set, hypothetical, or currently subject to recruiting.

CHANGES:

🔘 GLOBAL GAME RULES CHANGES

• No changes.

🔘INDIVIDUAL BANNED AND RESTRICTED CARD CHANGES

• No changes.

🔘 EXPERIMENTAL CHANGES

• No changes.

🔘 OTHER CHANGES

• The Duel Commander Committee now follows a new, "2024+" organization chart.

👉 Don’t forget to check out our Comprehensive Rules page for detailed understanding of Duel Commander rules. 

👉 Don’t forget to check out our Banned and Restricted page for a recap of all the currently banned/restricted cards.

👉 Don’t forget to check out our About Us page for a recap of how we work, and how to keep in touch with Duel Commander. 

You can still contact us on our Facebook Page page and our Discord server.
The next scheduled announcement will be published on September 30, 2024. 

Until then, we wish you all many good games! 😇

What you can find in this structure, as we thought and validated it:

A design of the Committee, made from:

• The Core Team, more or less as you know it, who will decide how everything is handled.

• Also, the Extended Team, all members of the Committee, which will consists of:

• The Internationalization team: a vastly expanded team of Regional Coordinators, from a list that is expected to grow rapidly, with the same expected role as the current one

• A new, internal Social Media & Content Curation team that will be part of the Committee and assist in creating discussions and content

• Rules Guidance: a restricted yet still needed rules advisory position to better ensure strict, comprehensive rules and judge coordination

• And finally, a selected list of trusted, external partners and people, who will not be considered to be a part of the Committee, but who will work hand to hand with it:

• A Discord Support Team, which will assist in mandatory activities from our everyday lives on Discord

• An Events Team, which will ensure coordination with Tournament Organizers and help assist promoting the largest tournaments

• A Facebook Support Team, to ensure our legacy media still works.

• The mentioned presence of official relations with Magic The Gathering, here through the presence of Daybreak™ Daybreak Games™ for Magic The Gathering Online™.

This means that, in short, there are 6 cases in which concerned people will fall:

• people who will stay and have their respective titles changed (Brennan McAlear, William Pinaud, and our Discord team)

• people who will stay and keep their current titles (all other Regional Coordinators)

• people who will leave the Committee (Advisors, Jordan Raiber)

• people who will be recruited with certainty (identified position and role)

• people who might be recruited (identified role or position only)

• people who might join later on (uncertain role and position).

The recruitment process as presented during our 2024 panel still holds for all new roles.

Everyone in the Core Team unanimously joins to thank: Damien Jantzen, Jordan Raiber, Manuel Le Marec, Martin Cuchet, Pierre-Guillaume Bardin and Thomas Mechin, for all your time, involvement and sympathy over these years. We hope we can all stay in touch and see each other on greater and better events every year! 🫶
