Welcome to the official event for PokéCrawl Episode VII: Year of Pokémon!

This event is strictly 21+.

Prologue

Something strange is happening! Legendary Pokémon have started popping up all over the region and some of them look very familiar... perhaps you have a few hazy memories of facing them earlier in your drinking career? Or maybe that was someone on the internet? Who cares!? It's time to get out there, grab a drink and catch those bad boys to prove your team is the best around.

What is this?

The PokéCrawl is the PAX East version of Pre-PAX bar crawl. You may remember us from...the other six PokéCrawls? Maybe? Or how about the other PAX bar crawls: The Tri-Wizard Tournament or A Shot of Ice & Fire? The point is, we've done a few of these.

In any case, the PokéCrawl is a non-profit Pokémon themed bar crawl dedicated to raising money for Child's Play Charity. This means we will ask you for donations AND there will probably be cool things auctioned off over the course of the night. So don’t be stingy - bring some extra cash and think of the children. It's also a great way to get drunk, meet fellow PAXers and make a few friends before the convention itself.

The crawl will be held in Boston's Faneuil Hall area. Check in will start at 7:15 at your team's first bar and every hour after that, you will go forth to a new bar to meet another team to humiliate with your elite drinking skills. All the bars will be walking distance to each other. We come as a group, and leave as a group, so don’t get left behind!

What's New for Episode VII

• New(old?) team groups: R(ed) and B(lue)! Let the color confusion begin!

• New challenge format! This year we'll be switching the challenge process up to follow the format of PAX South's crawl. More details to come!

How to Participate

Registration will open on April 5th, 2016 at 7:15PM Eastern. You can register through Eventbrite at:

http://pokecrawl2016.eventbrite.com

You'll be able to register yourself and a +1. Any duplicate or suspicious registrations will be deleted, so don’t try pulling a fast one. When registration opens, there will not be a waitlist (blame Eventbrite). Any cancellations or spots that open up will immediately go back into the pool so if you didn't get a ticket, keep checking back. You will need to bring a printout of your registration or have it available on your smart device to check in at your first bar. We also ask that everyone donate at least $1 for Child's Play to receive the scorecard and team buttons.

How Do I Win?

There's really no winning, per se. This is pretty much a fun, drunken night out with fellow nerds. But as we are raising money for Child's Play, the team that raises the most cash will be declared the PokéChampions giving them full bragging rights until next year.

For those of you who do manage to finish all the challenges, there will be a button confirming the fact that you have indeed "drank 'em all".

Reminders:

• You MUST have a print out of your confirmation email or have it available on your smart phone.

• You MUST provide your full name during the registration process, forum handle is optional.

• You MUST be over the age of 21. No minors allowed. This is a bar crawl, please don't bring your children.

• Attendees are limited to registering for 2 tickets (Yourself + 1)

• If you harass people on the forums or the team Facebook pages, you will be removed from the crawl, and your ticket will go back into the pool.

• Duplicate/multiple orders or orders containing more than one ticket type, and otherwise suspicious orders will be cancelled. If you have an issue with registration, please contact me immediately.

• Don't come to the bars if you are not registered. We'd love to have you tag along, but we pretty much max out the bars as-is.
