Anyone know how much the entry fee for a Regional usually is?
Regionals Question
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm working with my local store to run a regional, and we're figuring out the entry fee. Any experience would be welcomed.
We also need to know what data packs will be legal for Regionals
There will certainly be a new FAQ for all the LCGs before the Regional season begins. Somewhere in there it should specify what packs are legal for the season. This is sometimes updated during the season as well, so some packs may become legal at the tail end of the season.
Also, when I have run regionals and/or attended regionals, $10 is fairly standard if the organizers are expecting enough participants to cover the cost of the kit. That can rise as high as $20 if attendence is expected to be low, but rarely have I seen $20 entry fees.
As far as Regional pricing, I am in the same boat as a TO, working with my FLGS to find what pricing should be.
When it comes to what cards will be legal though, unless things change between now and then, pg 2 of the Tournament Rules states
"Authorized Cards
All Android: Netrunner cards produced by Fantasy Flight Games are legal for sanctioned play (unless banned). No other cards or proxy cards are permitted."
Lukas has already stated that there will be a new FAQ too, so hopefully any questionable timing on recently released sets will be cleared up by that for the regionals
I've seen one or two as low as $10 and a couple (smaller) ones as high as $20. $15 has been the most common entry fee I've seen. If you're in that range, you probably won't price anyone out.
