HOLON PHANTOMS PRE-RELEASE
This will start at the end of the swiss rounds. It will be like M45's (yup duplication is the sincerest form of flattery...LOL). Once we have 16 people we will start a Pre-Release flight. There will be no deck sheets to fill out. Each player will receive 6 booster packs to build a 40 card deck including basic energies (provided) in 30 minutes. It is $20 per person and you will only be able to play in one of these. Each player will receive 2 booster packs at the end of swiss rounds when they turn in their basic energies. There is no limit for the other side events. Also there will be a staff/finalists Pre-Release after single elimination is finished (FREE...plus...). Based on last year we should be starting the Pre-Release between 5-6pm.

Side Events
Modified - $5
Booster Draft - $15 (everyone gets 5 random booster packs to build a 40 card deck including basic energies which will be provided on site)

Each side event will be a 8 player pickup so when there are at least 8 players that side event will start. Each side event will have the following prize structure:

1st - 4 booster packs
2nd - 3 booster packs
3rd - 2 booster packs
4th - 1 booster pack

New Players Area
There will also be an area for anyone wanting to learn how to play. We will be giving out promo cards and pins for those new players learning how to play (1 promo card & pin per person). This is a great chance for parents (and/or brothers/sisters) who don't know how to play but would like too!!!

Door Prizes
Ex Legend Maker Booster Box
Pokemon Hats (2 per age group)
Pokemon Plush (2 per age group)
Pokemon Figures (2 per age group)

Is One-and-Done in effect?

Yup...just like State Championships.

IMPORTANT: Regional Championships are ONE and DONE. This means if you win one you CANNOT compete in any other 2006 Regional Championship.
 
Jeff: This is the same location as last year...correct?? If so, everyone will enjoy the site! You should be able to pencil Alex and I in Jeff. If you need my assistance in Judging again, that would be cool with me!

Keith
 
If trips are given out, alex and i will probably trek up there; otherwise expect us at your GCs only.

I'm ready sir, I'm looking forward to this event, shall be awesome!
 
@ Mr_Snuggles_Lover: I look forward to seeing the special K do some special things.

Question: Are there any restaurants nearby? I remember last year having to drive a few exits down to grab some food to fuel a mind in progress?

Question: Will there be some special sanctioned tournament the night before the Regional like last year? It is good to get some much needed practice in.
