Starting on schedule and on time
Hello again,
This is a reiteration and clarification of my earlier post with regards to showing up early and getting started on time. In order to accomplish the latter (starting on time), here is the morning time schedule:
8:00 am -- TO onsite for setup
8:30 am -- Judges arrive to finish setup and get prepared for registration to open
8:30 am -- Reg. slips will be available for players to start filling out, blank decklists also. :smile:
9:00 am -- Registration opens :clap: (everyone will need to have a completed reg. slip [this gets you into the computer], and a finished decklist [once you turn it in, we will not return it--the judges will be checking decklists for errors and correcting as necessary--we do not have time to search for and locate 1 decklist out of 100+, sorry. So make sure it is 100% correct and final before presenting it at registration.])
9:50 am -- Registration for Round 1 closes.
This is the cutoff for getting into Round 1 of CA States--all players who present their forms at registration at 9:51 am or later will not make it into Round 1 pairings--they may still enter the tournament, however, they will begin during Round 2 and have a Round 1 loss. Note: There always needs to be a deadline for any start time, and in order to make the start time on schedule the deadline needs to be final--this is not meant as punishment and we are not picking on the players, etc.--we want, as well as most players and parents, to get started on time so we can end at a reasonable hour. What this means to any players arriving after 9:50 am is that we will not delay the Round 1 pairings and start time just for them.
9:55 am -- Pairings for Round 1 are posted :smile:
10:00 am -- Players meeting (5 minute intro) and Round 1 begins :thumb:
Further time blocks will be announced as the tournament progresses.
*One last note, which should encourage early attendance, we have limited supplies of State pins. These will be given first come, first served when registration opens. After the pins are gone, a Series 1 POP pack will be substituted--thus everyone will get something.
Remember decklists are downloadable at www.ptegames.com.
See you all on Sunday morning.
