Avacyn Restored: Hope is Restored!

Greetings, Magic players!  In addition to our Facebook Event pages (Midnight event: here, Regular event here), I'm posting the details for our TWO Avacyn Restored Prerelease events right here on this blog!

BOTH of our events are Helvault events.
How do you open the Helvault? You might recall that every Prerelease, I distribute a set of "Achievement" cards for you to fill out.  This time, they're actually important!  Every THREE achievements you obtain, I will be breaking ONE seal on the Helvault.  When the last seal is broken, the Helvault breaks asunder and we feast on the sweet, gooey innards (Disclaimer:  Contents may not be edible)


1) Midnight Madness Avacyn Restored Prereleases:

Start Time and Date:  12:01 a.m., Friday, April 27th.   Players are strongly advised to arrive during the half-hour prior.  Or come for FNM and stay for the Prerelease! 

Entry fee:  $25.  Cash only, please.  Alternate payment methods must be pre-approved prior to April 27th

Product:  Six (6) Avacyn Restored Booster Packs, and one (1) Prerelease Promotional Card (while supplies last).

Deck/Pool Registration:  This event will not have deck or pool registration.  Players may not trade cards into each others' Sealed Pools during the tournament.

Rounds:  Each 8-man Pod will play 3 Swiss Rounds.

Prizes:  Two (2) Avacyn Restored booster packs are placed in the prize pool for every entrant.  These will be distributed to the Top 8 based on standings.  In the event of multiple pods, relative standings between pods will be ranked and prizes awarded to the combined Top 8 finishers.

There will be no side event drafts for this event.


The Main Event:

Start Time and Date:  11:00 a.m., Sunday, April 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.

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.  Remember, ONLY cards from your card pool may be in your deck at any time.
