If you're new to the game - this is a good time to come in and discover the tournament scene. We'll lend you one of the store decks if you don't have one of your own. (NOTE: Store decks are made entirely out of common cards and basic lands. You can purchase these decks for $3 tax included if you like them.)
We'll set the tables up for miniatures games and let the chips fall where they may. We have three 4'x4' tables, a 3'x4' coffee table, and a couple of 6'x2.5' folding tables that we can set up if needed. We also have some terrain pieces and maps that people can use.
So if you play Warmachine, Confrontation, Star Wars Minis, D&D Minis, Heroclix, or Mechwarrior - come on in for a pick-up game. If no one else can - the guys behind the counter will always try to get in a game or two.

We continue to work through the process with Wizards of the Coast to obtain the official FNM support. In the meantime, we will continue to run DCI sanctioned events each Friday night - so at least you get points (if we get at least 8 people).
For August, we're lowering our draft price to $12.50. (It will still be $4 if you bring your own packs.) Prize pool will still be the same - one booster per entrant with approximately 70% going to first and 30% to second.

This is a Vs. Hobby League Event (not sanctioned).
We have the foil participation and prize cards for the month of August. Each new participant in the month will receive one of the foil participation cards, and the top 4 finishers in each weekly event also receive a special foil prize card.
For booster draft each player is given 3 booster packs. Players open a pack, select one card, and pass the pack to their right. Continue selecting and passing until the first packs are used up. Second pack passes to the left, third to the right. Players then construct their decks with the cards they drafted and play matches to determine the winners. You keep all the cards you drafted.
Entry fee: $15 - includes the booster packs.
Prizes for 1st through 4th place.

Prizes: Based on your point totals - the more you play, the more you get. For example at 150 points you earn a special 2-card POP booster pack.
