Pokemon League Play

We have an official Pokemon League - come join us for some Pokemon fun.

This month we are using the unlimited format - meaning you can use cards from any Pokemon set.  Bring your own 60 card deck containing any amount of basic energy cards and up to 4 copies each of any other card from any set.  (We have pre-constructed decks for sale in the store if you don't have a deck.) Play different opponents and earn points - 10 points per game with 10 bonus points if you win. Earn enough points to get prizes! This is casual / league play - it is not a sanctioned tournament and will not earn you any ratings points.  For more information on league play - please refer to the Pokemon-TCG web-site.

Entry fee: Free!!!

Prizes: Based on your point totals - the more you play, the more you get. For example at 110 points you earn a special 2-card booster pack. You don't have to get all 110 points on the same day - come back each week and keep adding to your point total.

League play on Sunday from approximately Noon till 3:00pm.  League play is casual - you can arrive late, get in a few games and leave early if needed.  Most players tend to show up around 1pm.  Due to other events starting on Sunday afternoon around 4pm, we ask players to make room if needed (i.e., if you are still playing when the other event is supposed to start - please allow the other game to begin).

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament

This is an official UDE Sanctioned Hobby League event.

Bring in your minimum 40 card deck, with at most 3 of any one card. This tournament will be "Advanced Format". Please check http://www.yugioh-card.com for
a list of forbidden and limited cards. Side decks of exactly 15 cards
are optional. Tournament will start approximately at 1:00pm, please try
to arrive at least 30 minutes early. Standard floor rules will be followed.

Enrty Fee: $5.00

Prizes:

Participate
in 3 or more Hobby League events (at either store) in January and
receive a Hobby League participation parallel rare while supplies last
(one per player per month). The prize pool consists of champion or
tournament packs while supplies last, or boosters of the most recent
set we have in stock. Size of the pool depends on the number of players
in the event (generally 1 pack per player in the tournament). Prize
pool is split between the top 2 (9 or less people), or top 4 (10 or
more people). The winner gets at least 50% of the prize pool.

Additional
prizes are given away at the last tournament of the month based on
total match wins for the month (and if that is tied - number of events
played will be used). So the more often you play, the better your
chance for one of these prizes. Additional prizes may include some of
the following items depending on availability: playmats, t-shirts,
parallel rare cards, or booster packs.

Sign-up on our web-site
and register for this event. Registration means we will hold you a spot
in the tournament (up until 5 minutes before the event starts) and we
will send you a reminder e-mail the day before the event.
