BOSCO'S Tournaments

Take a look at our Card Wars tournament on February 16, '08.


Supplies/Prize Layout:

Draft Tournaments: 3 Booster packs per person for deck construction, 2 Booster packs in the prize pool, 1 Booster pack awarded to each player.

Sealed Deck Tournaments: 1 Tournament pack and 2 Booster packs per person for deck construction, 2 Booster packs in the prize pool, 1 Booster pack awarded to each player.

Standard (Type 2) Tournaments: Players bring their own decks, abiding by the banned/restricted list on the MTG website. 1 Booster pack in the prize pool, 1 Booster pack awarded to each player.

Prize pool distribution:

1st place receives 1/2 of prize pool, rounded(if necessary) to the nearest number of packs suitable to support half of remaining packs in prize pool to as many places as possible.

Thus if there were 18 packs in the prize pool, 1st place would get 9 packs, 2nd place would get 4 packs, 3rd place would get 2, fourth would get 2, and fifth would get 1. On top of that, all players would get a pack for playing, held aside from the prize pool.

BOSCO'S reserves the right to change formats but we'll try not to.

BOSCO'S is working with the Major League Baseball Players Asssociation to help Scouts get merit badges and achievement awards. Click here for more info.

 

 

 

 

 

We'll teach your group how to play the games we sell! Here's a group from the local Boys & Girls Club visiting to play a Magic: The Gathering Booster Draft Tourney. Most of these kids were beginners, and things went great! If you have a group that would like some lessons in games we sell, give us a call!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are pleased that Anchorage's Channel 2 News covered this important issue on its evening news shows on July 16, 2001. Bret Clark, former Chairman of BOSCO'S Committee for Pop Culture was interviewed. He made a clear case for making the name change. All we have to do now is get 51% of the people living on Lois Drive to agree to this sensible change!

To see a clip from the news program, click here!

Superman & Lois Lane!
They have been part of American culture for sixty years! The feisty Lois Lane has been a role model for millions of strong and independent women! Anchorage has an opportunity to pay tribute to this heroine by simply changing a poorly named street in Spenard from "Lois Dr." to "Lois Lane"

This Spenard roadway was clearly named by an uncultured person. As the comic reading elite, it falls on us to right his wrong.
