Wish I'd r...Great, informative post as always. Wish I'd realised you'd shared your rules before I created mine from scratch last night! Your write up of the rules is much better than mine - am I OK to copy chunks?<br /><br />Are you using the deck lists on the Wizards site? I hadn't considered that option and it'd be a great idea to use those to prevent (more accidental than planned) cards being added from outside. We want to allow players to take their cards out of the store, as we are more like a play group than a serious store and keeping the card lists in the prize jar will be enough to check back and ensure no confusion. If we go over 8 players we HAVE to leave the store to play else no-one can shop... (it's small...)<br /><br />We are running differently to you, but as I see mention of the 400 count white box I think we Googled the same pages!<br /><br />As our store is starting the league as if it was a launch event (we are but a humble gateway) so most people will be buying packs anyway on the day. Despite only having a likely 6 players in the league (with me as TO and our beloved store owner making the 8) everyone wanted different options so we are allowing people to do it via the intro packs (for those with little deck-building experience or reduced budgets), and the packs as normal, but the collectors (like me I guess) who are picking up Fat Packs will play out of those with the extra booster purchased on top at the end. <br />Personally I love the idea of declaring your sealed pool from the Pre-release to be your league deck when you sign up before any packs are cracked (saw this online) and suggested it to another store I play in more locally. I think if we ever make core this will be the Digital Dragons plan too - it eases the financial burden and causes more people to be aware of the league.<br /><br />Also we are only currently allowing one booster a week, but are discounting these slightly in line with the bulk buy purchases (we felt this would increase the likelihood of players returning). I think that from my Limited experience (pun intended) adding bonus packs to loosing decks will not make them that more viable. I think that spending time with players that loose to develop their card pool is more valuable and didn't want a situation where players hovered around the 50:50 mark and hoped to pull bomb rares.<br /><br /><br />I was initially just as confused as you - I'd heard a rumour that they sent out boosters to use for the league and we were initially pricing based on this! I emailed Bill Stark and soon found out that it was prizes that were supplied (which is better really as boosters we can just order). Our stuff arrived this week too and although I haven't seen it another store I spoke to said they were a bit underwealmed compared to the higher level events such as the old Launch.<br /><br />Will have to see how this develops. Unfortunately I have to miss our league launch - but will write up week 2 as I crack my fatpack and try to play/TO 10 league matches AND a standard event on the same day.<br /><br />I am @Nli10 on Twitter and the store is Digital Dragons - Lichfield UK.NLi10https://www.blogger.com/profile/09384451945964690542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-14608346903441936392012-07-05T23:49:18.701-04:002012-07-05T23:49:18.701-04:00As a new TO, I find it very difficult keeping trac...As a new TO, I find it very difficult keeping track of everything to ensure that I don't miss anything for my players. This is just one more example of that.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841976903594754385noreply@blogger.com
