Welcome back to the Grand Prix Louisville countdown blog!
Yesterday, I went over everything related to the main event
of Grand Prix Louisville. Between how to register, the maximum main event seating capacity, and all of the prizes available, everyone should now have a
better idea of what the main event is all about during January 6-8.
But there are many people who aren’t interested in the main event at Grand Prix Louisville. Whether you dislike the Brainstorm-filled nature of Legacy,
don’t enjoy massive tournaments like what the main event is shaping up to be, or simply can’t dedicate the entire weekend to playing your favorite card
game, Grand Prix Louisville’s side event schedule has something that will fit your schedule. So let’s take a look!
Friday Side Events
So you’re looking to get your Magic playing started early during your stay in Derby City? Well, that’s a decision I can get behind! The hall opens at
10:00am on Friday morning for Grand Prix Louisville, so stop on by after a hearty breakfast and get prepared to battle. With Challenge events that double
as Last Chance Grand Prix Trials starting at 11:00am, a Two-Headed Giant Sealed Spectacular starting at 1:00pm, and the incredibly popular Foiled Again!
taking place at 6:00pm, there will be plenty to do all Friday long for those getting to Grand Prix Louisville a little early.
* At the end of each Friday Challenge Event, all 4-0 players will play an additional round with the winners each receiving two (2) byes in Saturday’s
Main Event and an exclusive Grand Prix Louisville playmat!
Here’s the complete schedule of Friday’s side events!

Saturday Side Events
So playing all day Friday just wasn’t enough for ya, huh? I like your style and that’s why we’ve got even more side events for you on Saturday. First
things first, the hall opens at 8:00am on Saturday for Grand Prix Louisville, not 10:00am like it did on Friday, so prepare accordingly. And what are you
preparing for? A boatload of Challenge events being run all day long, another Two-Headed Giant Sealed Spectacular at 1:00pm, and the Legacy Rebound at
6:00pm for those who had a main event that didn’t go as planned. Suffice it to say that Saturday has no shortage of things to do.
Here’s the complete schedule of Saturday’s side events!
