• More SURPRISES may be added as we get closer!!!!! :lol:


Want to have TWO chances to win the TBA and the other cool TBA door prizes? All you have to do is bring someone who has never played in one my tournaments and you will be given a SECOND ticket for the drawing. Not only that, the new player also receives two tickets It`s that simple! TWO chances to win for both of you! Bring another and you get three tickets, etc.! WHOA!!!



FUN CONTEST: Guess the Damage Counters!


I`m offering this fun contest for everyone to have a chance to win a TBA!!! What you do is try to guess the amount of Damage Counters in the jar. Closest person to the correct # of Damage counters in the jar wins the prize! In case of a tie, the winner will be decided randomly by die roll between the tied contestants. Anyone can enter this contest (meaning parents and siblings of players can enter) but each person only gets one guess slip to cast their best guess. You must be present to win.


FUN CONTEST #2 : Coloring Contest


Like to win a TBA given out in this contest? 2 random winners will be chosen for the grand TBA prizes in this contest. One winner will receive the TBA prize and the other winner will receive the SURPRISE! prize. The pictures to be colored or drawn will be provided on site along with crayons or you can even bring in one you colored yourself at home!

April 30th?! :eek: Why must you toy with me?! *looks to the sky*
Almost like I'm precognisive but most likely it was just bad luck. I should have known April 30th being an open date in the calender was too good to be true.

*sighs* That date is confirmed a definite, correct? I really need to know, sometime within the next four days preferably :frown:

Sorry I'm not more enthusiastic... :frown:

That`s the day I`ll be running it.:

I dont know what Shadowcard is so jumpy about. We'll be there! And that gives him more than enough time to get off work!
 
I better see that Chris character this time or he`ll be in trouble...;)

Hey, Sensei. The four of us morons plan to be there for our first prerelease. Previously I've just bought singles online, but Milotic ex (which stops TMs from working, shutting down Dark Tyranitar decks almost completely) is going to be in high demand in this set, if released, so I'm planning to come and win some packs. Thanks for providing extra packs for higher placing, because 20 bucks for 10 packs is a good deal, but you know how it is with me and prizes. =)

It's tentative, because my mom and my friend's mom might BOTH be going to a concert in Maryland on the day you have it scheduled. My mom is kinda settling into my attending more than a handful of tournaments a year, though. It's possible that we're coming. Hooray for Comic World hosting tournaments on Saturdays!!

Now go read my State Championship report and reply to it this INSTANT! ;p
 
LOL. Yes sir! :D

Hope you guys can make it!

`Sensei
 
Sensei,
We plan to be there and want to know what advantage there is to pre-registering. We pre-registered for the Deoxys pre-release but I didn't notice any difference.
How about front of the line privileges?

We'll see you April 30th!
 
No real advantage...hmmmm....lemme think about that suggestion...good one!

`Sensei
 
Good Luck....

Yeah, I dont know why he keeps bailing on us...


I have given up on trying to brow beat him into coming, so it is up to you and Wendy to give him a hard time now.
 
That slacker! Guess he wants to miss all the fun, the good times spent, and the prizes not to mention getting all the cool new cards. ;)

Hey everyone, I may have to change venue so stay tuned. I`ll update as soon as I have confirmations.

What do you mean, change venue? as in, someplace else? I hope not....that could be, problematic....

If it comes closer to us, the players at the league will be more tempted to go. One of the first two questions that they ask is "Which one is closer?" I just hope it doesn't go farther away.
hum....
 
Probably Woodbridge...still awaiting call back from owner...will update asap when I get confirmation.

Woodbridge would be okay. Our friend Shadow is prolly coming(kim already has dibs on the extra ticket), and she lives down there...it is closer to us than Stafford actually.
