Limited_GP_Player_Guide_-_v0.92

If you are new to GP’s read this.

Tim

We expect to have at least 8 members of Wizards of the Coast R&D team play against players at the GP. Right now I have a tentative schedule but it needs ot be confirmed before I can publish it.

The quick summary of the plan is 5 R&D playing on Saturday and 4-5 playing on Sunday.

Take your sealed deck and beat the guys who make Magic.

I’m having players contact me who are confused about the GP Seattle/Tacoma Format – apparently they are getting this years GP confused with prior years events.

If anyone asks the GP format is Sealed Deck. Please make sure your friends know.

Thanks
