Scarlet & Violet Prerelease
Box Buster Sports Cards in Montrose, Colorado will be hosting its first-ever Pokémon TCG Prerelease event for the much-anticipated Scarlet & Violet set! Join us Saturday, March 18th to be among the first on the Western Slope to get these brand new cards two week before they release!
Check-in begins at 12pm, with the tournament starting no later than 12:30pm.
How it works:
At the beginning of the event, each player will receive 1 Build & Battle Box, which will include:
- A 40-card ready-to-play deck
- 1 of 4 alternate-art promo cards
- 4 Scarlet & Violet booster packs
- 1 deck-building tip sheet
Players will then be given about 20 minutes to open their boxes and packs, and build a 40-card deck with the contents. (No trading with other players yet!) Players will be paired for a short tournament of single-match games played with 4 prize cards rather than the usual 6. At the end, all players will receive 3 additional booster packs!
Space is limited, so we highly encourage registering beforehand, though you may register on-site the day of the event if there are any spots remaining.
Registration is $30 per person. Click here to register online to reserve your spot today, or register in-person at the store!
When registering, please provide your first and last name, Play! Pokémon Player ID number, and date of birth so that you can be paired in the appropriate age division for the tournament. If you do not have a Player ID number, you can receive one by attending any of our twice-monthly League nights and speaking with Professor Zack, or when you check in the day of the prerelease event.
IMPORTANT: Kits MUST be picked up in-store on March 18th during the event. Staying for the tournament is optional (but encouraged!). If you opt to not stay for the tournament, you will only receive a Build & Battle Box and no additional booster packs.
UPDATE 2/18: Any Build & Battle Boxes and booster packs that are remaining after the event will be available for early purchase on Monday, March 27th!
