Planning a Month-Ender Big Tourney

It has been a while since we had our last Iloilo Championships which is usually held every December. Aside from that, Store Champs is the only major local tournament that the players look forward to joining. We also had Nationals and Regionals before but the last Philippine Nationals was that of last year and Wizards of the Coast discontinued it along with the World Magic Cup. Even the Preliminary Pro Tour Qualifiers were stopped.

That said, I am planning to have a month-ender big time Standard tournament for the Magic Iloilo community. The probable date is March 30th and I still have to confirm with Rei regarding the event details such as the prizes. I personally would like to print out a plaque or trophy for the Champion along with the usual booster packs and special promo foil cards. This will be discussed with Rei.

As per the venue, I will inquire with the Robinsons place management if they would allow a vacant space in the mall for a few hours of Saturday afternoon. This is just a few weeks of preparation but I am still hoping for a positive response.

This would be a start of something like a monthly event but at the least there is something that the players would look forward to a competitive Magic with grand prizes.

Stay tuned for updates.
