Pick Chicago! Tons of players in both the burbs and the city. I'm sure it would go over well.

I have an event already planned for that weekend...if my venue doesn;t get signed up, I may have to cancel that one and go to one somewhere else...
Hope we judges and venues find out soon!

Hello All,

Chiming in for the Chicago area here!!!

Pastimes will be running a Pre-Release for Ultimates in Chicago!!!!

The event will be on June 19th and more details will be coming shortly.

Also, here is what I know about this event so far:

There will be about 30 places in the country that will be holding this event - geographically spread out so you (hopefully) won't have to drive too far to get to one. The cool thing is that because there are fewer, you will get to see a lot more players at one place and play with people you seldom get to see.

I should be posting info on our site soon, www.pastimes.net so keep on the lookout!!!

If you have questions, e-mail me at [email protected] and I will try to help.

If Wizkids handles this like they handled the Dark Riders Pre-Release, Venues don't sign up- Wizkids contacts them. The Venue and Wizkids need to agree an some terms (which includes buying boosters that can be _only_ be used for the Pre-Release and not sold).

If I remember correctly*, Wizkids contacted 30 venues for the Dark Riders prelease, only like 20 responded back in the time frame and 5 of those never jumped through the right hoops, so we ended up with 15 or so venues running the event.

(*I would check, but as I am at work now and my companys darned filter defines Wizkids as entertainment, they block it. Good thing HCRealms isn't blocked...yet.)

"Valhalla’s Game Center More Info 6161 W 44th Ave, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033"


Woo-hoo!

I would think with 14 to 20 players a week Valhalla's Gate in Columbia, MO would have a good chance for the Pre-Release....We shall see I guess...

Mr. Savage

Hey, any body else realize this event is on Fathers day weekend?

Seems there will be a trouphy of some sort for the winner of these
pre-release tournaments... and a limited number of players are allowed,
so sign up early if your venue is choosen.

The above are my comments alone and not those of an official source.
Take nothing I say as deffinate.

Hello Again All,

Check out http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix....asp?cid=39043 for a listing of all the locations that are holding the pre-release event.

Also, here is some buzz....

1. No trophy, but Boosters of Ultimates will be the prizes (that's what you want when you get there anyway, isn't it?)

2. Since it is Father's Day weekend, many of the venues are just running the event on Saturday. There is a lot of product being sent to the Pre-Release sites, but there is a limit. Check with the venue to see if they are taking pre-registration. (I know we are starting on Thursday to take pre-reg for Chicago)

3. Are you an envoy near one of the locations? Some of the locations are still looking for help with the events as we expect these to be great events with a great showing of people. If you want to get involved - e-mail the venue or your contact at WizKids and let them know you are interested!!! (Hey, I need some help down in St. Louis and in Indianapolis - who wants to help??)

4. GET TO THE PRE-RELEASE!! CALL YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR ENEMIES - ANYONE WHO LIKES HC!!! Seriously, big events are fun and we want WizKids to see that they should continue to support more and more cool big events. So, if you want to see other cool big events - GO TO THE PRE-RELEASE!!!!

See you on June 19th!!!

One in Edmonton, Alberta and one in Oshawa, Ontario so far (I get to run the Edmonton one Yay!!!! )

While I don't live in St. Louis (although I'm not that far away) I may be down there for the weekend. Let me know if you need help, when, and where.

Midwest Players Unite!!! Illinois, Missouri or Indiana - Show up at one of the following sites to have a huge time playing the new set- Ultimates:

By the way, we are still looking for a couple envoys for Indiana and St. Louis to help with these events!! Please e-mail me if you are interested!!
