We have a lot of events scheduled for the San Diego Pre-release, and
since we only have one day to run them, some events will overlap.
To give you a heads up on when the tournaments are going to start, I
am sending out this email. It's a little long, but please bear with
me, I like to type.

1) 32 Player Sealed-deck flights: These are our normal flights, we
have been running them for some time now. They are going to start
as soon as possible. The only difference this time is we have
preregistration available at www.monk.org (make sure you choose the
San Diego Pre-release, not the Arizona one). When we begin the
flights, we will have 2 lines for players: a prereg line and a non-
prereg line. I am sure you can guess which players go in which
lines :) We will have the pre-reg players check in first, and get
their flights started as soon as possible, then we will start the
non-prereg'ed players. We will start the pre-reg check-ins at 9:30
for flight 1 with 15 minute intervals between flights, but please
arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled start. Each flight
will have 4 rounds of swiss play.

2) Two-Headed Giant tournament: Wizards of the Coast's new
sanctioned format will make it's debut at the Pre-releases! Grab a
friend and transform into a Two-Headed Giant, each "head" playing
their own deck but sharing strategy and a 40-point life total!
Because we have limited time to play, this tournament will begin at
12pm.

3) Three-person Team Sealed Deck: This format has been at the last
few Pre-releases, so it probably will be familiar to most people:
each team has 3 players, who play normal 1-on-1 matches against the
players on the other team. The team with the most player match wins
wins the round. If it sounds confusing, it's only because I am
explaining it poorly. This event will start at 2pm.

4) Booster drafts: Booster drafts are 8-player tournaments where
you draft the cards that will build your deck from packs as they are
passed around the table. Then the players play in a single-
elimination format until there is only one winner left. These will
be running all day long, as soon as the last flight has started.

I will have flyers printed at the tournament with prices, products,
and prizes awarded Saturday morning.
