Hello All!

 

Our PTQ event is still on for this Sat. August 25, 6pm.  Did you know, that we will be making PTQ history?  This will be the ONLY PTQ regular event to be held at night!  LCQ’s (last chance qualifiers) are often the night before Pro Tour events but not regular PTQ’s.  Wizards, did consider making us move it to a day event, but due to how close the event was decided to let it run.  Many players had already been allowed the day off from work to play.  Truth be told, I did not know that there was a day time preference for PTQ’s.  I scheduled this events time due to parking.  Parking restrictions for the shopping center are more relaxed during the evening.  I expect from here on out, Wizards will be posting time restrictions in their instructions when offering PTQ events in the future.  Come play and be a
part of MTG HISTORY!  That way you can say that you were there.       

 

 

In response to recent posts, just want to express that I can appreciate that we do not have the most space to work with for events but we try our best.  With this PTQ event and possible the next few pre-releases I will be utilizing the piano studio next to my store along with the hallway to give you all more space to play.  If space is still an issue with the use of the piano studio then if we are ever offered another PTQ event, I would consider renting a venue.  As far as the price of $35, sealed by far utilizes more product to run a PTQ event.  Six packs for the event, three packs for prize pool, 24 packs for top eight draft.  Just the 6+3 packs retail at a discounted $27.00 (suggestive retail for MTG packs are $3.99/pk).  Da Planet has the profit from the standard and draft PTQ to subsidize the $25 sealed and maybe they are going for
uniform PTQ pricing for their store?  Due to the length of the event and the fact that eating places will be closed we do plan to have offer a snack at sometime during the event likely around 10-11pm. 

 

In closing, I can respect if you don’t play due to our tighter space.  I can’t help the $10 price difference.  It just cost more to run sealed PTQ events and I do not have other PTQ events to off set the expense.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.  I hope to see you all this weekend and make Magic PTQ history with us.  Good luck and take care.
