League play on Sunday runs 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. We often run sanctioned tournaments on Sunday during or after the league if there is enough interest. Tournaments have an entry fee and booster pack prizes - all participants receive some form of prize.
