As usual, we will be having two different ways to play in the Prerelease, both going on at the same time:
the Sanctioned Main Event, OR the Theme Deck Challenge.
Either one you choose, everyone will get a Cool Special Surprise gift and a special Promo card!
Just think... a day full of fun with your Pokemon friends, a chance to get and play with the new cards before anyone else gets them, A Special Surprize gift, a special Promo Card...
all for only $25!! Such a deal!

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! And this is going to be a VERY exciting new set!

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 objective is to have fun and check out all the new cards! And don't forget, the New Rules that came out with the Release of Diamond & Pearl are in effect, so be sure to check it out if you aren't familiar with the new changes.

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 and sleeves and such, 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! Oh and of course, I'll bake plenty of cookies for everyone! We'll also have Soda, juice, and chips on sale there too, in case you get hungry. There are also plenty of fast food places within walking distance, like Subway, McDonalds, Arbys and more. Feel free to eat lunch before you arrive or bring it in with you to eat after you register, before the event begins.

Mysterious Treasures Prerelease
- Main Event -

Cost: $25 for 6 boosters to build the deck you'll play in the tournament, plus a special Promo Card and a VERY secret surprise item for everyone, while supplies last! I can't tell you what it is until the start of the event, but it's something that everyone will LOVE! More than $35 worth of products for only a $25 entrance fee! Nice!

Main event - at 12:30 - Each player will receive 6 booster packs of the new set (to keep) and may start opening their packs. Players will each build their own 40 card deck (using only those cards from the 6 packs) to play in the tourney and write down their decklist, deciding how many energies they will want to include in their decks. Basic energies are provided on loan, and for this Prerelease we will also have special Proxie Basic Dark and Basic Metal Energies.
At 1:00 the tourney will begin with 20 minute rounds and play for 4 prizes. The number of rounds we will have will depend on the total number of players there, but probably 4 or 5 rounds.

Prizes: ALL participants will receive 2 more Mysterious Treasures prize packs at the end of the tourney (making a total of 8 packs)

************************************************************************
Or if you prefer, you can do the

Mysterious Treasures Prerelease
- Theme Deck Challenge -

Cost: $25 for a Theme Deck (complete with new rulebook, themed coin, damage counters and playmat) to keep and use to compete against others in the Theme Deck Challenge, plus a special Promo Card and a VERY secret surprise 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. Each player will choose one of 3 different Mysterious Treasures Theme Decks to use to battle others who also choose the Theme Deck Challenge. You'll have your choice of three different Theme Decks, and the nice thing about playing the Theme Deck Challenge is that each Theme Deck also comes with one of the new Rulebooks, which is nice to have with all the new rule changes since the release of Diamond & Pearl.

And all participants in this Theme Deck Challenge will ALSO receive 4 more Mysterious Treasures prize packs at the end of their tourney.

(Also, depending on availability, we may have a Mysterious Treasures Theme Deck Challenge Side Event after the main event)

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

Modified Side Event

( for those who have played in the main event)
Starts at approx 3:30pm, after the main event is over.
Cost: Only $5

We will also have a regular Modified Sanctioned Tourney (no Mysterious Treasures cards in decks) after the main event. Great way to win even more Mysterious Treasures booster packs! Didn't win in the main event? Now's your chance to redeem yourself! Want to show your skills? Bring your best Modified deck to the table!

Prizes:
Great (Mysterious Treasures) prizes to be announced, based on number of players. The more the merrier!

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

A Pokemon Diamond & Pearl GameBoy Tourney may be added as well!
Bring your DS and your Diamond or Pearl game, in case there's interest in a tourney or battles!!
Rules to follow (keep in mind with Diamond & Pearl we can select to have all Pokemon battle at the same level)

We were thinking ... since a lot of our friends will be at the Pokemon World Championships in Kona HI on this day, how about we show our support for them by putting on some Aloha wear! Wear an Aloha shirt, wear (or give me) a flower,a Hawaiian lei of some sort, or anything Hawaiian (be creative!) and I'll enter you in a drawing for an additional 5 Booster Packs!! Let's show some Spirit of Aloha for our friends there!

Our Rockford Events Rock, so Hope to see you all there!!
