Dark Ascension: The Fun, the Excitement, the Prerelease!
Greetings, Magic players! Get ready to embrace the night in L.A. Mood's Dark Ascension Prerelease!
Many of the details will be familiar to our long-time players, but there are a few extra twists as the darkness comes to claim us all to keep our Prerelease the most exciting in the city!
The Main Event:
Start Time and Date: 11:00 a.m., Sunday, January 29th. Players are strongly advised to arrive during the hour prior to opening to help keep the registration process from slowing down immediately before to 11:00 am. Please have your DCI number ready (if possible) for the registration process. If you do not have a DCI number, DCI signup slips will be available for you. It's fast, it's free, and it's the best way to play tournament Magic! If you cannot recall your DCI number, it can be found for you with proof of identity.
Entry fee: $27. Cost includes price of product, prizes.
Product: Three (3) Dark Ascension booster packs, three (3) Innistrad booster packs, and one (1) Prerelease Promotional Card (while supplies last).
Signup Process: The entry fee is payable upstairs at the register with cash, credit or debit. Registration for the main tournament is downstairs at the computer desk with proof of purchase. The Prerelease Promo is awarded upon successful entry into the tournament.
Pool Registration: Each entrant will be required to open the 6 boosters provided (the "card pool") and register each card on the provided pool registration sheet at the start of the tournament. The pool registration sheet will then be checked by another entrant in the tournament, or a tournament official if none are available. 30 minutes will be provided for this process. Entrants requiring more time may inform a tournament official.
Deck Registration: Entrants will NOT be required to submit a deck list along with their pool registration. This means that decks can be freely changed in between rounds of the tournament and do not need to be restored to their original arrangement.

Rounds: Swiss Rounds (no elimination) with a cut to Top 8 Dark Ascension/Innistrad/Innistrad draft Playoff. Number of rounds varies with number of entrants, capped at 7 Rounds, 50 minutes per round:
