NOTE\: If we have 14 or more people in the draft\, we will split into 2 pods. Wizards Event Reporter will be used to determine final standings after the swiss rounds.
If you'\;re not sure how to draft\, come in early or on another day and we'\;ll be happy to explain it to you. In a nutshell - you get 3 booster packs\, open your pack\, pick a card\, and pass it to the person next to you. You continue picking and passing until you have 45 cards which you keep. You build a minimum 40 card deck from the cards you selected - the store provides the basic lands (please remember to return them at the end of the night). Then we play a small tournament to determine the winner.
These are DCI sanctioned events. Straight swiss - no cut.

We have an official Pokemon League - come join us for some Pokemon fun.
We use 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 stamps - one stamp per game. Earn enough stamps to get great 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\: Earn stamps to get great promo cards and other prizes from time to time.
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.
