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! 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, I'll give out a free Pass to our next Prerelease worth $25, (can be used in either Rockford or Rantoul) as well as some other great door prizes! You can be sure we'll all have a good time!

- Main Event -

Cost: $25
for 6 boosters to build the deck you'll play in the tournament, plus a special Promo Card and a cool set of sleeves for your decks for everyone, while supplies last! And I CAN tell you that you'll love them!
So you get more than $35 worth of products for only a $25 entrance fee!
And 2 weeks before they even go on sale to the public! Such a deal!
!

Main event - 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. ( no trading cards with others until after the Tourney) Basic energies are provided on loan, and for this Prerelease we will also have special Proxie Basic Dark and Basic Metal Energies. Everyone will then have 30 minutes to build their decks using the cards from the packs they received.

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 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 3 or 4 rounds.
Prizes: ALL participants who finish will receive 2 more Supreme Victors prize packs at the end of the tourney
(making a total of 8 packs, PLUS the surprise gift sleeves and the Promo card)

************************************************************************
If you prefer using a Preconstructed Deck, you can do the
Supreme Victors Prerelease
- Theme Deck Challenge -

(we'll hold this as a Side Event after the main event and a lunch break, approximately 1:30pm)

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 the cool sleeves for everyone, while supplies last!

We have a limited number of Theme Decks, so if you know for sure you're going to want to be in the Theme Deck Challenge instead of the Main Event, let me know when you Preregister so I can mark you down for it and reserve sleeves and a promo for you. Or you can wait and decide when you get there... but again, our supplies for this event are limited.

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 Supreme Victors 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 one of the new Rulebooks and playmats, 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 Supreme Victors 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 sleeves and Promo card).

Again, you get more than $35 worth of products for only a $25 entrance fee!
*NOTE:

If you want to play in the Theme Deck Challenge after you've already played in the Main Event, you may do so, but only if there's room... Obvoiusly people who didn't play in the Main Event get first priority. Also we may be out of Sleeves and
Promos at that point, but if you leave me your name and address, I'll try and get some more and mail them to you.

*********** Side Events *********
After the Main Event, we'll have a break for lunch...Then there will be time for Side Events, which will be based on Player interest and attendance. Besides the Theme Deck Challenge, there may be either a Free Modified, a $3 Modified or a $5 Modified tourney. Again, prizes will be determined based on attendance.
