The Lords of the Pit and Eternal Central are proud to announce the first annual Old School Player’s Ball, a charity Old School Magic 93-94 event in Chicago, on Saturday August 26 2017.
Tournament Entry and Prizes
The first annual Old School Player’s Ball 93-94 tournament will be held on Saturday, August 26 2017.
– Tournament start time is 12pm (venue opens at 12pm; please arrive on time to sign prizes and get started promptly).
– Tournament structure and length will be SIX (6) ROUNDS OF SWISS PLUS TOP 8 PLAYOFF. There will be no draws allowed, and at the end of 50 minutes if there is a tied match both players will do a sudden death Chaos Orb flipping contest (complete details in our Old School 93-94 rules here). This is to keep the pace of play and keep the day going more smoothly than last year. Play a fun deck, imbibe, and have a blast with friends new and old!
– Prizes will again be awarded by the Lords of the Pit and Eternal Central, and will be Old School cards in flavor and nature, Alpha through Fallen Empires. This is a tournament for fun, and not ‘EV,’ so if you’re expecting to pay off your car with your winnings at this or any other Eternal event you will sadly be disappointed.
– Tournament Entry Fee will be a donation ($15 suggested) to The Chicago Public Library Foundation. Since 1986, the Chicago Public Library Foundation has been proud to partner with Chicago Public Library, supporting programs, technology, and collections that have helped the Library maintain its position as a world-class institution and a leader in the library field. Donate online here http://bit.ly/2nx7a1N or with cash onsite the day of the event. Please bring proof of donation to the event if made online.
