Dark Sphere PTQ for Honolulu

[Dark Sphere]

Hi all - Just some last minute information for this weekend's Honolulu PTQ.

 

We've heard some concerns on the price and we do apologise, but we're expecting this to be a huge event and venue, tables and chairs for 140 in the centre of London doesn't come too easily. We hope you understand and can enjoy the event none-the-less.

 

Event Details

Format: Innistrad Sealed Deck with Booster Draft top 8.

Price: £30 and includes a two booster prize pool.

Prizes: Prizes will be awarded based on standings in the sealed and the top 8 will go onto a free booster draft to determine who wins the event. Wizards of the Coast will provide the winner of the event with a flight to the Pro Tour event in Honolulu!

That is correct Amar. You have no chance of winning.

 

(My money would be on someone obvious, like Stephen Murray or Marco OJ, taking this down)

We can now also add a ZEN ZEN WWK booster draft to the side events. Likely to be £15, including one ZEN booster prize pool.

 

Sleeves and other misc. product are available, but sleeves themselves are in low supply. All manufacturers are reporting zero stock, so be careful not to strand yourself with no sleeves or having to desleeve your other decks.

 

If there are any issues you can email [e-mail], or add 'Darksphere London' as a friend on facebook, where I (Mark Gunther) am available during weekdays 09.30 to 17.30.

If only it wasn't the same weekend as a Euro GP :(

[Paul Hodgson]

Should be there, will open crap, build poorly and then complain to any and all who will listen!

[Charlie Grover]

Cant make it :(

[Philip Dickinson]

what's with the decision to limit people to 3 drinks? getting fucked up is the only way to play sealed!

[Dark Sphere]

The three ticket limit is imposed by the venue, and we fought hard to even get that many! We hope that it's satisfactory. We're offering a range of Beers, WKD Blue and Kopparberg. 

 

We will also be selling soft drinks (hot and cold), sandwiches and confectionary.

 

Look forward to seeing you all there!

[Dan Barrett]

Out of your hands, but does risk people leaving to drink elsewhere/sneak it in though I guess?
