In 2025, the council committed to expanding the number of seats with the intention of including the international and Discord communities. This is a new initiative to extend council representation beyond the founding place of the format, Victoria, B.C., and we are hopeful that this provides a positive outcome for the format.
The Council is happy to announce its expansion to include two new members of the international and Discord communities, Cyclopes8 and Kelvin, who were voted in unanimously (5-0). These two individuals have displayed a consistent commitment to the format in many ways. Their contributions have directly benefited the format through providing information accessible to players, organizing tournaments, cultivating data, and creating positive environments to engage in discussion. We are thrilled to welcome them.
Adjoining the Council’s expansion is a formalized Charter document, which will be released in the near future. This is a measure implemented to keep councilors accountable to one another and to the community. Within this document, you will find information regarding the structure of the Council as well as how voting takes place. This is a living document and will be updated to address new issues as they arise. When updates to the Charter occur, the Council is committed to notifying the community. Once released, the Charter will be posted to the website and pinned on this Discord.
