EVENT AT CAPACITY -- 97 out of 96 seats have been assigned for this event. As of Wednesday, September 27, the standby list is CLOSED. We are fully up against fire code at the venue and local ordinances regarding crowd size, so unfortunately we are no longer able to accommodate any additional attendees or spectators. Sorry!

Calling all #oldschoolmtg 93/94 players across the USA and around the world! Join us for our big event for autumn 2018 -- an epic regional "gathering" in Boston, organized by your friends at New England Old School. This will be a charity tournament to benefit Room to Grow in Boston.

FORMAT: Swiss pairings (seven rounds total for this event). **Note that this is updated (no longer Swiss+1), due to the size of the player pool the event will be held to a total of 7 rounds. Tournament start time 12pm sharp, doors open at 11:30am to register, get situated, sign the prize pool.

B&R LIST: Eternal Central B&R, permitting all non-foil reprints with the original art and frame. This means that Revised, 4th Edition, Chronicles, CE/IE, FBB, FWB are completely welcome. No proxies or ‘playtest cards’ will be permitted.

PRE-REGISTRATION: At this time, pre-registration for this event is closed, and the event is fully capped at 96 players.

ENTRY / PRIZES: An entry fee of $27 will be used to cover venue reservation costs and unique Old School prizes and give-aways. Any funds remaining after expenses will be donated to Room to Grow, our charity partner for this event. The entry fee is non-refundable.

THE MENU: Lobster Rolls and Clam Chowder from local favorite Kelly's Roast Beef will be available for pre-order beginning approximately two weeks prior to the event, and no, we're not kidding. Beyond this optional/delicious offering, the event will be "Bring Your Own Food," and there are easily a dozen great options right there within a three-block radius in Davis Sq.

THE VENUE: The event will be held at the Dilboy VFW Post in Davis Square, Somerville. We will have a dedicated bartender for the duration of the event, with a cash bar including a variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and water. Absolutely no drinks of any kind will be permitted to be brought in from outside the venue. The building will have a limited number of off-street parking spots available on a first-come, first-served basis, and additional spots will come available for our group's use starting in the early afternoon. Davis Sq is also served by the MBTA Red Line for easy accessibility from other points in/around Boston, including Alewife Station parking garage and South Station.

DECK PHOTOS: As is common practice in Old School Magic, deck photos (not text lists) will be required for the event, submitted before the tournament start time to the organizers. We will specify the means of uploading the photo to share the week prior to the event.
