(I know Standard isn't very big on this site. If you wish to see details of the Saturday July 28th Standard TCG Player event at BC Comix, see this link - http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=430270)
For those not familiar with TCG's events - in December, TCGPlayer.com will host a tournament in Indianapolis. $50,000 cash will be split amongst the top 62 players. You can see the details of that event here: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/maxpoint/
How do you get in? Well, with points from tournaments like the ones we're hosting, of course! 20 points gets you in the door. 20 more points get a first round bye.
So you must be saying "yeah, that's great... but how hard is it to get 20 points? How many of these events do I have to find and do well in just to get into the Indy event?"
ONE!!!!!
Yes, if you top 16 in this Platinum level event, you get a minimum 20 points! We will be hosting more events before the Indy tournament, so even hitting tp 32 more than once gets you a place! While we're on the topic of top prizes, let's talk about the prize payout for this event...
1st Place: $400.00, Playmat + 60 points (entry and two byes)
2nd Place: $200.00, Playmat + 40 points (entry and one bye)
3rd/4th Place: $100.00, Playmat + 30 points
5th-8th Place: $50.00, Playmat + 20 points
9th- 16th Place: Playmat + 20 points*
17th-32nd Place: Playmat + 10 points*
33rd+ Place: 2 Points
* Additional pack prizes to 9th-16th and 17th-32nd will be based on event participation.
These are the MINIMUM prizes we will give out, regardless of attendance. With the great turnout we've received from past $1k events, I expect we'll be seeing more than what is listed above going out that day.
This event will be run at competitive level REL - deck lists required, with a level 2 head judge as well as judges from BC's experienced tournament staff providing floor support.
PLEASE - download and fill out a deck registration list the day before the event and have a friend deck check it for you. So many game loss penalties could be avoided by doing this rather than scribbling your list down at the last minute and forgetting a card.
THE IMPORTANT INFO:
This is a LEGACY CONSTRUCTED event
Registration starts at 9am
Player meeting / deck list collection will be at 11am
Entry fee for this event will be $25
Throughout the day as space allows, we will fire off side events. Booster draft, sealed, legacy, modern, whatever event 8 people want to play, we'll run it!
With showcases of singles dedicated to Standard, Modern, Legacy and Commander / EDH, BC has you covered for your MtG needs!
BC has a strong modern and legacy crowd, so bring your trade stuff! We also have a few foil collectors, so bring your shiny cards!
For best directions, plug our address into Google Maps.
17125 Silver Parkway
Fenton, MI 48430
Call us at 810-208-7100 if you need more info, or reply to this post.
We look forward to seeing you on July 29th for a great day of competitive MtG!
