I know if you buy at least 2 cases you get a prize support kit for i think $25, are their any other requirement to be able to buy the kit... like a registered judge or approved venue or something like that? Thx.

Except for the bit about the retailer not being suppossed to be selling them (and we all know that that's going to happen somewhere)?

Nope.
Or at least none of the shops in my area know of any further restrictions.

There is no such thing as a registered judge anymore, at least not at this time.
NECA doesn't know who all was a certified judge or where they were.

Same with the venues. There are no "approved venues" at this time. Just places that buy Heroclix and (hopefully) hold tournaments.
I would not bet any amount of money against some of the prize kits going directly to EBay, though.

Here's the solicitation.
Highlights to look for:
NOT FOR RESALE
subject to allotment
2 case purchase required to get 1
Maximum 3 per venue, with 12 case minimum to qualify for 3.

The Brave and the Bold Organized Play Kit

DC HeroClix: The Brave and the Bold Organized Play Kit contains everything a retailer needs to bring HeroClix players into their store for weekly events - including new limited edition figures, 3-D objects, maps and more!

Each Kit include prizes to run 10 weeks of events, with each week giving away prizes for 1st and 2nd place, a fellowship drawing and a judge reward. A suggested schedule and format are included.

OP kits are intended for tournament play and NOT FOR RESALE.

There is a limit of 3 kits PER retail location. Each store location for a retailer must purchase the minumum specified below to qualify for the kits.

2 The Brave and the Bold Cases - 1st OP Kit
7 The Brave and the Bold Cases - 2nd OP Kit
12 The Brave and the Bold Cases - 3rd OP Kit

Each OP Kit Contains:
-15 Limited Edition (LE) figures, with different paint jobs from the normal versions of the figures!
(5 copies of 3 different figures, each with character card).
-14 3-D objects. All objects have a special game effect!
(2 copies of 7 different objects, each with object card)
- 10 copies of 1 all new map (24" x 36")
- 12 Alternate Team Ability feat cards (3 copies of 4 different cards)
- 1 Instruction Sheet for suggested prize allocation /tournament schedule

Due to the overwhelming response on our Hammer of Thor release, please note that we have made changes to our program to ensure that every retailer recieves their order on The Brave and the Bold by release day, but please be advised that all orders are still subject to allotment if needed, to ensure that every retailer recieves some product on release day.

Did we discuss ad nauseam somewhere how it says "5 copies of 3 figures" though 3 figures, 4 cards, and 2 objects equals 9 weeks of tournament prizes.

Probably not, because there are seven different objects.

Though there is a lot of confusion between what they include and what they promise.

There are supposed to be ten weeks with four prizes each, since they promise the return of second place.

There are forty-one LEs in the kit.

No matter how hard I try I can't figure out how to parse them neatly into ten sets of four. The only way I see this working is with a mish-mash of different prizes each week... but I'll hold back the rant which follows until we know for sure what's up.

Yup, so I completely misread that! Pre-coffee Lurker is a foggy lurker.
