Welcome back to the Grand Prix Washington DC countdown blog!
Yesterday
, I did a brief overview of what to expect at Grand Prix Washington DC, but
today is when I’ll really start diving into things. Grand Prix are massive
events with a lot going on at them. From awesome special guests and
super-sweet side events to the chance to win an invite to a Pro Tour, a
Grand Prix really is whatever you want to make out of it. But in order to
make Grand Prix Washington DC a special event for yourself, you need to
become more familiar with what your options are!
Main Event Registration
Standard is the main event format at Grand Prix Washington DC, so dig out
your most broken deck for your trip to our nation’s capital and prepare to
do battle! By signing up for a Grand Prix main event, not only are you
signing up for the largest open-entry Magic: The Gathering tournament
offered worldwide, but you’re also signing up for the opportunity to win an
invitation to the Pro Tour! Throw in a FOIL
Progenitus
and our Show Up & Play! Experience, and our Main Event Registration is
the perfect option for you!

· Anyone wanting to participate in Grand Prix Washington DC’s Main Event
must register online or on-site by Friday, September 1st at 9pm ET. A

Three-Day Infinite Challenge
If you’re more interested in playing as many matches of Magic as possible,
our Three-Day Infinite Challenge option is just what you’re looking for.
We’ll be hosting Challenge events all weekend long across numerous formats
(including Sealed!) for you to pick and choose from, so find what events
work for your schedule and battle until you can battle no more. But don’t
forget that you get these!

One-Day Infinite Challenge
Don’t have three days to spare to play Magic until infinity? Completely
understandable, and we’re more than happy to accommodate you! Our One-Day
Infinite Challenge option lets you play as many Challenge events across
numerous formats (including Sealed!) as you can handle.
Ultimate Commander
If playing with 100-card decks is your cup of tea, we’ve got that covered
as well. Many of you are familiar with our Command Zone at past Grand Prix, but with a little help from the awesome people over at Ultimate
Guard, we’ve once again transformed the Command Zone into a place where you
can become the Ultimate Commander! Check out all the sweet swag you get for
selecting this option!

Show Up & Play! Experience
You know what sucks? Long lines. I’ve never met anyone who likes waiting in
a long line and we at StarCityGames.com don’t like long lines either. And
thanks to our Show Up & Play! Experience system, not only will players
have the opportunity to pick up their Registration Rewards from our
Customer Service station, but Main Event participants who have acquired
byes for Grand Prix Washington DC will be able to get a little extra sleep
on Saturday morning!
All players have the option to submit their decklist
online. Note that all decklists must be submitted either online or on-site to
Customer Service or the Grand Prix stage by 9am on Saturday.
Players with zero (0) byes will be seated for Round One at 9am where
publicity waivers and any physical decklists will be collected. Players
with zero (0) byes will receive their
Progenitus
FOIL promotional card once round one has started.
Players with one (1) bye will submit a publicity waiver and receive their
Grand Prix promotional card at a 10am players meeting.
Players with two (2) or three (3) byes may turn in their publicity waiver
at our Customer Service station at any time throughout the weekend to
receive their Grand Prix promotional card.
What Tomorrow Brings
Now that you know your options and what registration rewards come along
with them, we can dive further into the main event. Tomorrow I’ll be going
over Grand Prix Washington DC’s maximum main event seating capacity (that’s
a mouthful!), the main event schedule for Saturday and Sunday, the main
event prizes, and the Pro Points you can earn. See ya then!
