Good Evening 'Trek Fans!

As we turn the calendar over to December today, it is once again time to start thinking about greater MN Land's New Year's Charity Draft. Started a decade ago by Caleb "The Jobber Champ" Grace, this annual fan favorite gig will see participants once again pay their way into, and possibly out of, 4 matches on the day, with the possibility to even see donations being made to partner off other combatants as "pick your poison" pairings take center stage for one day only. As always, each round will also feature the ever popular "To Be the Man... You Gotta Beat The Man" challenge where players can donate to pair themselves up with a former National, Continental, or World Champion, with prizes and the "anything but silent" auction to follow.

This year's gig will take place on Saturday 1/2/16, and in honor of it being our tenth year, we will be returning to where it all began by hosting this event at Outpost 2000 & Beyond in Coon Rapids. As usual, registration will start at 11:30 a.m. and following pod assignments we will begin drafting at high noon. Each entrant will be given a randomly assigned starter deck and several randomly assigned packs to draft from, with no restrictions on who can be played to the HQ(s). The tournament entrance fee is $20, however it is a recommended donation, not a hard requirement, so anything that can be spared will gladly be accepted. All proceeds from entrance fees and end of day auction sales will once again benefit In the Spirit Prison Ministries, as we once again attempt to raise enough money to sponsor a family in the Philippines for an entire year over the course of one day of gaming amongst friends.

Lastly but not leastly, in tandem with the Continuing Committee's Peldor Joi celebration, please consider bringing a food shelf donation to support the Twin Cities area Second Harvest Heartland charities. For this event only, canned goods can be treated as currency for the above mentioned "pick your poison" pairings, and will also be considered for preference regarding the "To Be the Man... You Gotta Beat The Man" challenge(s). So, with that all said, bring your wallet, your canned goods, and your A-Game as we once again ring in the New Year for charity in a few short weeks!

It's T2E Entertainment, it's the New Year's Revolution pay-per-view, and you gotta... be... THERE!

Don't forget to pre-register for this event if you plan on attending! We have TONS of boosters to draft this year, but historically balancing the starter decks has been tricky. Please keep this in mind, as pre-registration will help me keep starter deck numbers even and mentally determine which of my old ones I can just recycle to avoid taking from the sealed stash. Thanks. :cheersL:

Prizes and retired players keep crawling outta the wood work for our tenth anniversary celebration. Be sure to get on up to OP2K in a few days for the draft, pick your poison pairings, and the usual camaraderie that comes with all of greater MN-Land's gigs. If you only make one tournament this YEAR, make it this one! :cheersL:
