Countdown Timer

INTRODUCTION

Continuing the immense successes of our recent Pre-releases we will again run multiple 32 player flights throughout the day. The first flight will start as soon as 32 people have enrolled. As we are planning on starting enrolment as soon as the doors open at 8:30am, this means the first pre-release could start almost right away. We will then run additional flights all day, as long as there is sufficient player demand (minimum 16 players per flight).

In the afternoon (4:30pm) we are going to run a Future Sight Team Pre-release. This is where you get together with two other players, either friends or people you've met for the first time on the day, and enter as a Team. Each Team will receive 2 x Future Sight Tournament Packs and 6 x Future Sight Boosters to build a deck for each player in the Team, all for only £10 per person. You will then go on to play as a Team, with each player's results determining how well your Team does, so even if you do badly as an individual, you could still win prizes.

Also in the afternoon we will be running a Future Sight Two-Headed Giant Pre-release. Two-Headed Giant isn't a new format, but the official rules (which used shared turns) certainly don't match the kitchen-table versions some of you might be used to playing. In Two-Headed Giant each team consists of two players, each with a 40-card minimum deck. Both players on a team play a single turn simultaneously, like a giant with two heads. Both players share one 40-point life total. If that total reaches zero, the team loses. Coordination is above-board. Team-mates can look at each other's hands and openly communicate. Further details regarding Two-Headed Giant can be found in an article on magicthegathering.com (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/feature/280).

As well as everything listed above we will be running a prize draw for some really cool Future Sight branded merchandise, which unfortunately we are not able to tell you about here. Every time you take part in anything on Saturday you will receive a prize draw ticket. If you do well in whatever you play in you could get up to 2 more prize draw tickets. Pre-register, before midnight on Friday and bring your confirmation with you, and we'll give you another prize draw ticket. If you are on our mailing list, or subscribe to it before midnight on Friday, and attend our pre-release, yet another prize draw ticket will be coming your way. We haven't decided yet, but we may even let you buy some too.

And of course we will still run 8 player Single Elimination Future Sight Booster Drafts as Side Events right up until the venue closes at 11:00pm.

(For anyone that doesn't know what we mean by a flight it is when a large tournament is broken down into lots of smaller tournaments, each run separately to the others, and with its own pool of prizes.)
