Starting on November 30th we will running Jumpstart 2025 Holiday Play Day events!
The idea behind Jumpstart 2025 Holiday Play Days is simple: when you want to jump in for a quick round of Magic, you can join this event using Foundations Jumpstart packs to give you a fantastic play experience in less than half the time as a typical in-store event.
This events will continue through to January 5, 2025, depending on the amount of interest there is in our community, players of all stripes can come enjoy quick games of Magic with the powerful play that comes alongside Foundations Jumpstart!How Jumpstart 2025 Holiday Play Days will work.
Ahead of the event, we will print match slips for players to track who they play against during the event. Simply grab one of these when you arrive and find yourself someone to play against.
For this event, we will use rolling pairings. This means that you can match up with new opponents as soon as they finish their games. Continue to play against people that you haven't played with before, paying no mind to wins or losses.
Rolling pairings means no rounds, which is less waiting and a faster event for you, it gets everyone to jump into the most important part: play!
Players should play one game per opponent and be allowed a free mulligan with their game. After completing three games, players turn in their match slips for rewards!
If players finish their three games and want to keep going, then you can jump right back in with a new Jumpstart combination! They can continue playing and help other players fill out their match slips and earn a prize.
