Hello, and welcome to Flynn's Hobby Shop's Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames Midnight prerelease! This causal, beginner-friendly tournament allows players to get an early preview of the upcoming new set, Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames, and is ideal for players who are collectors and/or beginners of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Our prerelease tournament is limited to 50 players. There will be no casual play during this prerelease tournament; all play space available is dedicated to the prerelease. If you are only spectating, you do not need to fill out the reservation form. Spectators will be asked to stand to spectate so all available play space can be used.
Where:
Flynn's Hobby Shop
5901 Margate Blvd.
Margate, FL 33063
Entry Fee:
$30. This comes with 1 Build & Battle Box, consisting of a 40-card ready-to-play deck, 1 of 4 special stamped promo cards, and 4 booster packs from Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames, to use in the tournament. At the end of the prerelease tournament, each player will receive 3 additional Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames booster packs.
Registration:
Friday, October 31st. Reservation list registration is from 11 PM to 11:30 PM, and the waitlist form (if we even use it) will be from 11:30 PM to 12 AM. You will be checked in at the door by a staff member. If you are not on the reservation list, you will be put on a waitlist. Once 11:30 PM hits, and if any spots remain, we will give spots to players on first-come, first serve basis.
How It Works:
Each player will be given a Build & Battle Kit to make a 40-card deck to use in the tournament. This kit will be given by the tournament staff close to deck building time, not during registration. After hearing the tournament organizer's instructions, players will have 30 minutes to construct a deck to use in the prerelease tournament. Players CANNOT (1) trade with other players or (2) use any cards outside of their Build & Battle Box, with the exception of basic energy. Basic energy will be provided by the Tournament Organizer for player's use. This tournament will have three 20 minute + 1 turn rounds. At the conclusion of the tournament, each player will receive their 3 additional booster packs of Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames.
What should I bring?
1. (REQUIRED) A set of at least 6 dice. At this time, we do not carry dice sets at Flynn's Hobby Shop, so please ensure you have your own set before you come.
2. (REQUIRED) A flipping coin. If you are using a die for flipping, make sure that it is 6 sided, translucent, and slightly larger than the damage counter dice.
3. (REQUIRED) Status Markers for Burn and Poison.
4. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) Sleeves. These are not required for the tournament, but my staff and I highly recommend that you use them to protect your new cards! The shop also has sleeves available for purchase, should you need them.
5. (REQUIRED) A positive and sportsman-like attitude!
