Block 3 Only, Diversity in Effect
Proudly presenting the premiere UFS event in March, RIW Hobbies welcomes all challengers to the 2009 UFS Motor City Regionals in Livonia, MI! Last year, during the first major Block 2 tournament anywhere, we had past, current, and future major champions such as Andrew Olexa, Matt Kohls, Jon Herr, and Team Voltron Kitten Force (Andrew Olexa, Jeremy Ray, Tanner Lang, and Matt McDanniel) in attendance. We're hoping for all of them to come out and show who will be the early favorite in the Block 3 environment. It could be you!
Diversity will be in effect, a Top 8 cut will be made after 5-6 Swiss rounds. Deck lists are required, sheets will be made available at the event site. In addition to FFG's Regional prize support, there will have additional product prize support, along with items such as figurines, play mats, etc. for both Top 8 and as raffle prizes to those not making Top Cut. There will also be a Ladies Night side event on Saturday night for those not making Top Cut. Entry will be free for the side event.
Team Event on Sunday will only be held if 8 or more teams to confirm that they will be attending on Sunday. That way, those coming from out-of-town can be assured of having a full event. Please send an e-mail if you plan on attending the team event so things are confirmed ASAP. Team Event will not have any form of diversity.
We hope to see everyone out to make this event bigger and better than last year! Bring it!
