The Games Club - The Games Club Monthly: Single Elimination Challenge


The Games Club The Games Club Monthly: Single Elimination Challenge 16/08/2008



INTRODUCTION We have decided to improve our own version of UKG Tournaments' flight system for running this month's The Games Club Monthly: Single Elimination Challenge, you only pay an entrance fee of £5 for the first flight and then £1 for each additional flight. Each flight will contain 8 players and will be run as a Single Elimination tournament. Players will receive a Time Spiral Block Booster for every semi-final they play and a Lorywn Block Booster for each final they play and another for winning a flight. Whenever a player is eliminated they have the option to enrol into another flight for just £1. Players are allowed to modify their deck or even completely change deck or format before their next tournament begins. The best performing players across all flights will receive a share of the end of day prize pool of 2 x Lorwyn Block boosters per player. Each flight will also count towards the Magic Player Rewards program operated by Wizards of the Coast, where for every 5 tournaments, you receive 2 random token cards; and for every 20 tournaments, you receive a premium card, currently an Alternative Artwork Hypnotic Spectre. Go to the Magic Player Rewards homepage (www.wizards.com/dci/rewards.asp?x=rewards) for further details and to sign up now.
