What’s happening at Grand Prix Lille


Public Event Schedule


We’ve packed as many tournaments into the schedule as we can.  There is certainly something for everyone.  From the 1000€ Standard Championship on the Sunday to the Commander Arena that takes place across the whole weekend.


Standard


If the main event at Grand Prix Lille isn’t enough to quench your thirst for the Standard format make sure you sign up for €1000 Standard Championship.  Prizes will be provided by the Card Traders that we have at the event.  Also, there are pick up events running all the time.  You can enter and, as soon as we have 8 players, you will be enjoying the Standard format.


Innistrad Block Drafts


These will be available all weekend long as a pick up event.  And to show that we are listening to our customers we are using a new sign up system for the first time at a Grand Prix.  When you enrol for your event you will be given a pager.  When your event is ready to start, your pager will flash and beep, alerting you to go to the pick area to start your tournament. You can play with both English and French product.


Half Price Events on Saturday Morning


Obviously we want you all to enjoy the main event at Grand Prix Lille.  But for those that want to play in something slightly smaller we have a great offer for you.  HALF PRICE PICK UP EVENTS!


Until 3pm on Saturday we will be charging half of the normal price for all the pick up events listed here.  As soon as we get 8 players in these events we will call you to the pick up area to start your event.




Legacy and Vintage


Saturday is definitely Eternal day as both the Vintage and Legacy Championships are scheduled then.  They are staggered so that, if you aren’t doing so well in the Vintage event, you can drop and enter the Legacy to see if you can improve you luck.  Both events are supported with prizes from the Card Traders present at Grand Prix Lille.


But that’s not all.  Throughout the Grand Prix, both Legacy and Vintage will be running as pick up events.  Just sign up with the public event scorekeepers and, as soon as we have 8 players, we’ll start your tournament.



Fun Foil Friday & Sealed Deck Events


If busting boosters is your idea of a good time, we have plenty to keep you entertained.  For the discount price of €25 we have Fun Foil Friday, your chance to win not only boosters but various cool foil promo cards.  There is also the Sealed Championship on Sunday where you will have the chance to win store credit with out traders.




Commander Arena, Minimasters and other Casual Play


Not everyone wants to be competitive all of the time.  For those wishing to experience a more relaxed pace, we have lots for you to do.  Why not try your hand in the Commander arena?  Battle past three other generals, talking their scalps along the way, to win various cool prizes in our lucky dip box*.  Or try your hand at the simplest format of limited Magic, Minimasters.





Two-Headed Giant


And if multi-player is the way you want to play, Grand Prix Lille has events for you.  Apart from the Commander Arena we have Two-Headed Giant pick up events running all weekend long.  Plus the always popular Two-Headed Giant Championship taking place on Saturday evening.




Win-a-Box Standard Challenge


For those of you that just want to play more Standard we invite you to take part in one of our Win-a-Box Standard Challenges.


As the name implies, the winner of each of these 32-player events will walk away with 1 display of Dark Ascension**.  But that’s not all.  There will be more boosters available for other players are they fight through this knockout event as well as Lucky Dip chances* for the losing finalist and semi-finalists.


*Lucky Dip Box - This contains random packets that have prizes including expensive magic cards donated from our card traders, booster awards, promo and foil cards.


**Whilst stocks last.  The organiser reserves the right to replace with an equivalent product.

Magic Sculptor Challenge


Ever wondered what to do with all of those common cards that you don’t need?  Why not recycle them into a scupture and take part in our Magic Sculptor Challenge.  This FREE TO ENTER event could see you walking away with €200 of trader credit and all you need to do is build something cool from your spare Magic: the Gathering cards.


You can make something at the event or bring something with you.  The rules are that you can only use magic cards to build you sculpture.  You can cut and tear them but you cannot use glue, sticky tape or string to support your creation.


To enter, take your sculpture to the information booth before 3 pm on the Sunday of the event.  Winners will be picked the Magic artists attending the event as well as the tournament organiser. We will be looking for originality and creativity.  The winners will be announced at 5 pm on the Sunday.
