Plus 2 more packs at the end of the tournement!
So you get more than $35 worth of products for only a $25 entrance fee!
And before they even go on sale to the public! Such a deal!
!

- Main event -

Cost: $25 - 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'...
just have fun with it!


Once the decks are built, the tourney will begin. For this event you play for 4 prizes with 20 minute rounds, and we usually play for 3 rounds. 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!

Prizes:ALL participants who finish will receive 2 more Dark Explorers prize packs at the end of the tourney
(making a total of 8 packs, PLUS the surprise item and the Promo card for your $25)

********************************************

- Theme Deck Challenge -

Cost: $25
for a Theme Deck (complete with themed coin, damage counters and instructional playmat) to keep and use to compete against others in the Theme Deck Challenge, plus a special Promo Card and the cool promo item for everyone, while supplies last!

This special tourney will be separate from the main event and follows a much more casual format. Great for younger players, parents, or those who may not be as familiar with deck building on their own, but would still like to participate. If you don't know how to play, we can teach you! Each player will choose one of 2 different Dark Explorers Theme Decks to use to battle others who also choose the Theme Deck Challenge, and the nice thing about playing the Theme Deck Challenge is that each Theme Deck also comes with an instructional playmat, a special coin, and your own damage counters, all very useful tools for the newer players.

And all participants in this Theme Deck Challenge will ALSO receive 4 more Dark Explorers prize packs for participating in the tourney, in addition to the decks they played.
(making a total of: the Deck, 4 booster packs, plus the cool promo item and Promo card).

So you get more than $35 worth of products for the $25 entrance fee!

********************************************

Want to get some extra booster packs? Bring in your friends, neighbors, parents... for every new person you bring in to play the Main Event 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!!

'Support the Store' Raffle - As a thank you to Pegasus Games for hosting our event, I'd like to encourage our players to purchase items from their store. Show me your receipt for items that you purchase there at the Prerelease, and I'll give you a Raffle ticket. Spend $5 or more and I'll give you an extra raffle ticket for each extra $5 you spend! The more you spend in the store, the more chances you get! After all the main rounds are finished, I'll draw a lucky number to win 3 booster packs.

Door Prizes - Of course , 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. You can be sure we'll have a good time!

PokeMama's Pokemon hat giveaway - Of course I'll be making some hats of the new Pokemon to give away! So be sure to come! You might get lucky and win one!

Also... if you want to come and play, but can't afford it, I have an option for you...

I have a Sponsor Program...
Sometimes I have regular players who, for whatever reason, can't make it to the Prerelease (have to work, will be out of town, etc) but still don't want to miss out, so they need someone to fill in for them. And sometimes I have players who don't want to miss out on the fun of the Prerelease but just can't afford it. So I've got a program to match them up so everyone is happy. Here's how it works...If you get sponsored by someone, they pay for your entry, and you play in the tournament. You open the 6 packs,we'll list the contents on the decklist sheet, build the deck, and put the leftover cards in a baggie I mark for the Sponsor. You then play in the tourney, and after the tourney, they get the 2 booster packs you receive at the end along with the Promo Item and the Promo card, but you get to keep any door prizes you win or any bonus packs (like if you bring a new player) and you get a pack for helping them out.

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 you'll get 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.
I've currently got several spots that I need Sponsored Players for.

So contact me for details

Also contact me if you'd like to be a Featured Player, where I'll video you opening your packs for the start of the tourney and your progress as you build your deck. I'll chose a player from those who contact me.

See you there!!
