Also, one thing different for this particular event, there will not be a Theme Deck Challenge as part of the Prerelease, only as a Side Event and only for those who have already participated in the Main Event. *details below ******************************************** Want to get some extra booster packs? Bring in your friends, neighbors, parents... for every new person you bring in to play, in either the Main Event or the Theme Deck Challenge, I'll give you a bonus pack! Let's face it, Pokemon is a GREAT game, we ALL love it, and it's MORE fun the more people who play! This is going to be a VERY exciting new set and this is the very first day it's available too! You won't want to miss it!! Also keep in mind the spirit of a Prerelease is non-competitive, with no real pressure to win, which is why everyone will receive prize packs at the end. The main thing is to have fun & check out all the new cards! But don't worry, we'll have LOTS of random pack giveaways throughout the day! I also have some really cool door prizes to give out... besides packs, posters and such, I'll give out a free Pass to our next Prerelease worth $25, as well as some other great door prizes! You can be sure we'll have a good time! *NOTE:
EMAIL me or call me (Camille 608-322-0549) or TCC (815-633-0330) to Preregister - leave a message with your name and time preference, either 9am or 1pm! Here are the details! *************Black & White Prerelease************
Main event - Each player will receive 6 booster packs of the new set (to keep) and may start opening their packs when we tell everyone to go. Players will each build their own 40 card deck to play (using only those cards from the 6 packs, no trading cards with others until after the Tourney) and will also decide how many energies they will want to include in their decks (basic energies are provided at the event). Everyone will then have 30 minutes to build their decks, using only the cards from the packs they received. That totally levels the playing field... because from the best player around to the newest youngster there, everyone has an equal chance at this tourney because you never know what cards you'll get in your packs! That's what makes it so fun! And don't worry, it's not really that hard to build your own deck... generally there aren't a whole lot of trainers in a set, so you'll usually want to include as many of them that will be helpful as you can. You want to make sure you have as many basic Pokemon as you can, and include any evolutions that you might have been lucky enough to get as well. Try to keep your deck to 2 or 3 types, like Fire and Electric or whichever, because that will be helpful to you in drawing the particular energies you need for your Pokemon's attacks. Of course Colorless type Pokemon can fit nicely into any type of deck since they can use any type of energy you happen to have. Since your deck needs to be 40 cards in total, a relatively simple rule of thumb would be 20 energies and 20 in any combination of basics, their evolutions (if you got any), and trainers. Then, just decide how many of which type of energies you'll need to get by looking over the energy requirements for your Pokemon's attacks. And that's pretty much all there is to it! Remember, it's a tournament for fun, so don't stress over building 'the perfect deck'...
Prizes:ALL participants who finish will receive 2 more Black & White prize packs at the end of the tourney Side Events Only players who have participated in the Main Prerelease may play in the Side Event afterwards. $15 DRAFT- Here's something new and fun for those of you who play in the Prerelease... after the morning event AND after the afternoon event we'll be having 8 player 4 pack draft side events for $15, so if you finished up your fun time playing in the Prerelease and just wish you could keep going for some MORE fun, then sign up for the Draft afterwards! It's a blast! $25 THEME DECK CHALLENGE - For this particular Black & White event, since Theme Decks will have already been released at the time of our Prerelease, we will only be allowed to have the Theme Deck Challenge as a Side Event for those who have already played in the Main event. Now if you just want one of the Theme Decks, they will be available for sale at the store. But if you want to have the fun time with a Theme Deck Challenge, sign up for this one! You'll get one of the 3 new Theme Decks, plus 4 booster packs that you can use to enhance your deck by swapping out some of the cards for ones in the packs. You'll play 3 rounds, and afterwards I'll give 3 packs to the 1st place winner, 2 for the 2nd place finisher, and 1 pack to 3rd place, plus everyone will get a special Poster if they want one.
So I heard there'll be a Black & White hat giveaway? ************************************************************************ By the way..... Check these out!! ... Be sure to come to the Prerelease so you can get to see what's inside before they even go How/when can I pay for the event? You can pay on the day of the event by cash, credit card, or check (made out to Camille Peltier-Robson) or you may pay in advance by Paypal if you wish (email Camille for details) ************************************************************************ Also... if you want to come and play, but can't afford it, we have an option for you... I have a Sponsor Program... So, in a nutshell, they pay your entry fee and will get the cards, promo item and promo card, but you get the fun of actually being able to still participate in the tourney and seeing all the new cards. Plus they'll usually give you a booster pack for helping out. It's a win-win situation for those players who either can't make it to the event, or for those who can't afford to come to it otherwise. Contact me if you need a sponsor or want to be one. So contact me for details
************************************************************************ If you still want to know more on what you get,
Again, Contact me to Preregister to let me know which time you plan to attend, This will be a great fun time! You're going to want to be here for this one! See you there!!
