Side events?

[Lucario-Master]

What kinda of side events will there be at worlds?
I dont remember too many other then some stuff on day 3 but was wondering if they have side tournys or anything like that on the day of grinderes or anything.

I don't know for sure what will happen this year, but based on the previous 3 or 4 years, there is usually no side events the day of the grinder.

On Saturday, Free events include 8 person single elimination pick up tournaments, and league play. In the 8 person tourny, at least one win generally gets you a prize. You also can play League - play any person and then the winner draws two cards from the stack and gets to keep the one they want. The cards are either a foil, a rare or direct you to winning some other item - playmatt, theme deck, hat, etc.

I think they also have had 8 person sealed tournaments, and team (2vs2) tournaments although these will cost money.

On Sunday they start with Undaunted Prereleases - Three or 4 flights worth. The cost is about $25 US. Once these get going, the side events will switch back to league and 8 person pick up tournaments. Side events close down around 3 or 4 PM to get ready for the finals in both the VCG and TCG championships.

There typically is a gaming room that is open 24 hours a day starting either Thursday night or Friday morning, where you can hang out, trade and play pick-up games with people from around the world.

I don't know if there will be one this year. It seems that there is some sort of organized event Saturday Night anyway - A Pokemon Dive In Movie.

Just had a quick read, sounds interesting and a lot of fun. Will let my brother join if he doesn't make the T32 cut

lol If they start showing the Arceus movie, ask them how they're showing it and if there will be a DVD release soon Spring is long gone...

I saw this on the event site and this pushed me over the edge. It's official; I'm jellis!!11!eleventyone1!

We have a wine country film festival where a big screen gets strung between trees in a vineyard, the projector runs, people sit in chairs or on grass, sipping wine, and eating tasty food.

A screen between palm trees, decent speakers, a pokemon movie, the lagoon, tiki torches, a lounge chair, a mai tai or three, a plate of Hawaiian short ribs, heaven.

Great idea TPCi.
