*PRIZE*
The MOX SAPPHIRE is in EX+ condition, the face of the card looks very nice, there is slight damage on the edges of the cards. The back of the card has some significant scuffing, but there is no bends or folds on the card. This is certainly the best of the Moxen we've given away so far! The rest of the prizes will be based on attendance. The following is a possible prize breakdown for 32 players.
1st: Mox Sapphire
2nd: $125 Store Credit
3rd-4th: $65 Store Credit
5th-8th: $25 Store Credit
A popular question that was asked at the first event was what is store credit? For store credit, we have a growing collection of singles including standard, extended and vintage goodies available, we also have packs and products, a large collection of science fiction and fantasy books and many other games! Check out our website for more on the products that we sell. Store credit may also be saved for future purchases or events. There is no restrictions on using store credit in the store at any time for any thing.
*PREREGISTRATION*
Players are encouraged to preregister for this event but are not required to attend so that we may have an idea on the number of players coming. We'll do a raffle for $20 of Store Credit to be given away between all players who preregister before October 1st! (CLOSED) I'll take any registration through this thread or you can e-mail
chris@pandemoniumbooks.com, or you can call the store at 617-547-3721, prepayment is not required as any prize for preregistration would need to have been taken before Oct. 1st.
*PARKING*
Parking is available around the store, metered spots are $.25 per half hour, Meters close at six. There are pay lots that have a day rate as well. If all else fails, there is a parking garage on Green Street a few blocks away, a bit more expensive but they will have a space for you.
*PROXIES, DECKLISTS AND RULES*
This is a 15 Proxy vintage event plus any ELD proxies that you have in your deck, no additional proxies are allowed. Proxies must be written or drawn on a Magic: the Gathering card. Full rules text on the card is strongly recommended.. No paper inserts or double sleeving is allowed for this event.
It's requested that you bring a typed or neatly handwritten deck list with you, if you do not have one please arrive early enough to write it up, deck registration sheets will be provided. Please mark off deck totals and proxy totals as well as what cards you are using as proxies on your deck list. ELD Proxies are allowed and do not count towards your proxy limit, but must be marked on your deck list. All deck lists must be written or printed on standard size 8.5" x 11" paper.
Even though this is an unsanctioned tournament, there is a lot on the line. To maintain integrity, we will be using Competetive Rules Enforcement and penalties. Please do not abbreviate cards on your deck list.
*ROUNDS, BREAKS AND FOOD*
32 Players and under, 5 Rounds.
Over 32 Players, 6 Rounds.
Time: 50 Minutes
The store has many snacks and drinks available at any time. We will break for lunch after round 1, Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza will be available at $2.00 per slice, delivered from Hi-Fi Pizza (this is a different shop then our usual place to order from, the slices are bigger and customers have been happier with this shop). This will be a 30 minute break after all match slips are collected after round 1 (or later if the majority of players want to wait until after round 2). If there are 6 rounds, there will be a 15 minute break after round 4 for the benefit of everyone's health. Top 8 matches are single elimination, un-timed.
*WE BUY CARDS*
As we are a Magic: the Gathienr dealer, we buy and sell cards all the time, and you can buy and sell with us all day! Need cash? Want to enter the tournament with Cardboard? We will have an extensive buylist for all cards. For some cards, up to 20% may be awarded as a bonus if traded or if store credit is received.
While trading is encouraged, players are not allowed to buy and sell cards to each other.
*SIDE EVENTS*
We'll be hosting Booster Drafts and Cube Drafts as they fill up all day long!
