Can this be 30 pre reg instead of the pack? Im not sure of the benefit of an extra random pack
Hello,
The only reason we want people to enter early is so that we can get a idea of how many people are coming for tables and chairs. I was just offering something for players taking the time to pre-register. Why would I give a $5 discount for a $3 pack? I tried to keep prices as low as possible but still balance the huge amount of work and time. Remember that there are 6 packs for the sealed, 3 prize packs, top 8 draft packs and judges that have to be compensated. A couple weeks ago Da-Plamet just charged $25 for the last STANDARD CONSTRUCTED PTQ. Only packs involved were the 3 prize packs………
I hope to see you at the event.

Planet’s also charged $25 for the last Sealed>Draft PTQ, provided lunch and pack prize for first in addition to airfare…I know 6 that won’t be going because of the price tag alone, venue’s too small to spend that much.
