Ok all, after the inspiring NorCal Vs. Day, Erick and I have decided that it is only natural that we have a SoCal Vs Day. This thread (and post) will be updated on new information, but here is what we have so far:

What: SoCal Vs. Day!
Where: Majestix CCG (formerly Edgeworld)
2588 Newport Blvd. Ste. C
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
949-650-6100
When: Saturday, October 24th (we will also have an event on Friday
night, October 23rd)
Why: Because we haven't had a "major" event down here in sooo long!
********************************************************
Co-Main Event: Marvel vs. DC Super-Crossover Sealed (last 5 sets of each universe)
Time: 10:30am (10:00am registration)
Cost: $15
*Modified Swiss rounds (Swiss +1); Final standings determine winners after swiss rounds
*Each player will randomly be assigned either Marvel or DC packs (there will be an even amount of each universe), and build their 30-card decks from the 5 packs they receive.

Main Event: Silver Age Constructed (Blink 3-drop is banned)
Time: 3:00pm (2:30pm registration)
Cost: $10
*Modified Swiss rounds (Swiss +1); cut to Top 8
*There will be a playoff for 3rd place

Side Events:

Marvel Evolution Drafts (4-man or 8-man): $12
*We will wait until 8 sign up unless it is agreed to go with a 4-man draft

Legendary Marvel/DC Two-Headed Mutant Tournament (Golden Age): $15 per team
*2-man teams; each team plays 1 Marvel only deck and 1 DC only deck
*Shared starting endurance of 80; "friendly" applies to teammate as well; normal rules apply (ie, no shared rows/columns/resource row)
*This will most likely start in the evening time

The good stuff:

1. Each player will receive a Vs. T-Shirt, EA Have a Blast! and other
EAs/Hobby League cards for participating in one of the two main events
2. At the beginning of certain rounds throughout the day, I will put 1 pack
of Marvel Universe on each table, and the winners of that round will
win that pack.
3. The Qualifier winners (read below) will each receive packs of Marvel
Universe and/or Marvel Evolution (enough to last the Swiss rounds).
Whenever (if) they lose during the Swiss rounds, they have to give up
a pack of MEV (Constructed) or MUN (Sealed) to that opponent.
4. Each player will receive a raffle ticket for each event they enter.
5. Random door prizes include: Vs. Cardboard cutouts, Vs. vinyl banners;
Vs. playmats, Vs. deckboxes, and even booster boxes!

Qualifiers:

*We are in the process of putting together 4 "Qualifiers" for the Constructed Main Event. 2 will be held in NorCal and 2 will be held in SoCal. These should be running late September/early October. The winners of each Qualifiers get (in addition to the standard prizes they get at the Qualifiers):
1. Packs of MEVand/or MUN equivalent to the number of Swiss rounds in the main events
2. 1st round bye in the Main Events
3. Free entrance to any and all events held on Friday/Saturday.
4. Winners must be present to receive their packs (incentive to come
down NorCal guys!)

Friday, October 23rd

1. MEV Drafts starting at 7:00pm: $10 each (prizes are old packs/EAs)
