2015 Continentals Playmats Available for Pre-Order!

by Charlie Plaine, Chairman

27th July 2015

Last year, we debuted playmats for our top level events, the Continental and World Championships. Though we haven't said much about it, we're happy to report that playmats have returned for 2015! Event specific mats have been (or will be) awarded to the Top 4 finishers of each First Edition and Second Edition Continental Championship, as well as to the winner of each Tribbles Continental Championship. And just like last year, we're making the generic version of this gorgeous playmat available to everyone, everywhere!

Playmats based on the ones given out at the 2015 Continental Championships (without the event branding), pictured above, are available for immediate pre-order via The Promenade. These items are available worldwide for $25. This is a price we believe to be reasonable based on the cost of manufacture and shipping, while still allowing The Continuing Committee to retain some of the funds for operating costs. These funds will be used to continue operating our website and offering prizes for all of our major events, as well as implementing programs to bring in new and entice returning players to rejoin the community. Think of your purchase of a playmat as a donation, except that you also get a great looking mat to use for your card games.

These mats are high quality and measure 24" x 14", and are 1/16" thick. Once we have them in our warehouse, we will roll them (never folding them) into cardboard mailing tubes and ship them directly to your door, so your playmats will be protected and will arrive in great condition. We expect to begin shipping your playmats at the end of September or early October at the latest, depending on production time. We will be ordering based on pre-orders (plus a few extras for later), so there's no guarantee we'll get more of these mats in later - order now if you want one! In the unlikely event that we do not receive sufficient pre-orders to allow us to purchase these mats, all pre-orders will be refunded. Help us make sure this doesn't happen by ordering mats and helping spread the word!

Hit up the Promenade and get one of these mats today. They look great, help protect your cards and add some real style to your games!
