I have been putting a little sticker on the front of the card with an "R" on it, but I was told in the last tournament that this was illegal (even though you can't see the sticker when they are face down).
Or why not just have a list of the cards in your reserve as required by the rules and put all cards back into the appropriate place after the game ends? I know what cards are in my reserve and what aren’t.

I know what cards are in my reserve and what aren’t.Yes, but it still takes longer to go through and find them all.I like the magic marker idea -- a little "R" on the bottom right corner?Would that be legal?Thanks,E
At Nationals I double sleeved my cards and the inside sleeve had a sticker on it and none of the judges who checked in my decks had a problem with it.

Watchman: will this be legal at your tournament next Sat?

This is kinda a question and not meant to anger anyone. I agree with the making a list to what cards are in your reserve pile. Instead of putting a sticker on the card sleeve, could you choose a different color card sleeve instead as a way to tell your deck apart from your reserve pile or would that be considered a no-no?

For the most part. There's also the deck check, and between rounds spot check aspect. We did have a player penalized at Nationals for failing to return his reserve to the correct cards between rounds

Just wanting to make sure I wasn't missing something.I can say as a player, if I brought a deck to a tournament and a host told me I couldn't play it because I denoted my reserve cards by adding a R in permanent marker on the front of a sleeve or had a sticker in the sandwich of a double sleeved deck, I would be a bit miffed.
Question: for the reserve. Aren't you supposed to have a cheat sheet/write down what you have in your reserve? Can you keep the cheat sheet (need a better term for this) on your person?
