Well 2011 is almost over and it has been a fantastic year! I have been so pleased with the number of players and the level of play I've seen develop at the Dragon's Den over the past year. We have seen many of our players head off to big events and do very well. Well now it is time to try and step it up, and offer some new incentives to our players.
Hang on to your hats as this might be a long post from me, but I think you will like what you read! Read on and help us get excited for Magic in the new year here at the Dragon's Den!
Player of the Year at the Dragon's Den
We are going to start a program to name several players of the year here at the Dragon's Den. We will be keeping track of points earned during matches played in the store. The points will be broken down by Competitive Standard, FREE Standard, Legacy, and Limited. We will be taking the top 8 players of each event per week and adding them into the list. We will be using the points that you earn during the game: 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a lose. The total from the event will be added to the total from previous events.
We will begin this on January 1st, so the Monday Night Magic event on January 2nd will be the first chance to earn points. We will be ending the points on December 14th and we will award the Players of the Year at the Dragon's Den after Magic on Friday 21st. If players are curious as to how they stand in the running, then you might want to read about the Leader Board next.
Leader Board
Every week will be posting a Leader Board in the store for the 4 different Player of the Year categories. These boards will contain as many players as we can fit on the form, but I'm hoping for at least 20 names. It will list the ranking, name, number of points earned, and number of events played in. We will attempt to update and post the Leader Board weekly on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Events, Events, Events
We are planning so many great events for the year. We will have GPTs as they become available. We will also be run PTQs as soon as Wizards approves a location between NYC and Albany. We are running the maximum number of Prerelease and Launch Party events for every new release. We have now begun looking at running Star City Games invitational events as well. We will continue to run FNM events, Drafts, Sealeds, Standard, and so much more.
We are also planning a special deal. If you play in the 3:00pm FNM Standard event and win, you will get a FREE entry into the Competitive $5.00 FNM Standard at 6:00pm. This is a special weekly deal to help get more players playing Competitive!
I'm very hopeful that adding in these cool add-ons will help bring in players and keep all other players excited to play weekly. Ohhhhhh.... I did not mention what you will get if you are the player of the year. That was intentional, you will have to play, come in, follow us, or read the blog for more information!
