"Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits." - Anon
2010. It's a brand spankin' new decade, folks. With the 2010 season of Magic upon us, the four horseman that make up Front Range Magic are excited to bring you yet another white hot dose of Magical adventure...and you all have court side seats to the party.
We started off the season with a bang as we hosted the 2009 State Championships. 143 players came with the purpose of winning the highly coveted State Title and a year's supply of free FRM tournaments. Nate "The Great" Maliszewski grabbed the title from his long time pal Brandon "All-In" Montoya in the finals:
The remainder of the top 8 featured some new faces and some old hats:
Good, good times.
Along with the crowning of a new champion, we unveiled the Front Range Magic "Player of the Year" Race. The rules of the race are pretty simple - you play in any FRM sponsored event, and you are automatically entered and in the running. Players earn points based on how many players finished below them plus themselves. Point totals will receive multipliers based upon the Rules Enforcement Level that tournament employs. The State Championship, for example, was locked in at a REL 2, and everyone who played that day will receive 2x the points they earned.
What's at stake? The winner will receive FREE AIRFARE (up to $500), to any North American Grand Prix or Star City Games 10k Series of their choice. The Runner-up will receive a shiny display box of the current Magic set. The Player of the Year and the Player of the Year Runner-up will be announced at the 2010 State Championship. The race has already begun, but don't fret...we're only one event in, and we have a multitude of events lined up on the 2010 calendar. Our next Player of the Year eligible tournament will be the upcoming Worldwake Pre-release (REL 1).
I know you wanna see it, so here it is, the current FRM PotY leaderboard
Please take note for those planning on attending both days of the Pre-release: Due to unforeseen circumstances that are outside of our control, Front Range Magic will not be hosting a Sunday Pre-release event for this particular set. However, and as always, we are thrilled and look forward to hosting your Worldwake Pre-release Event on Saturday, January 30th. We've worked very hard to bring you what we hope will be a very special and very fun experience and we look forward to seeing each and every one of you!

One of Worldwake's Set Designers and Wizards of the Coast R&D Guru Kenneth Nagle will be sitting alongside Local Pro Conley Woods at our gunslinging tables! They will be there all day giving pointers and offering their unique advice! Be sure to swing by and play some games with the two of them and claim your chance at winning a booster pack of Worldwake!
And of course, both Jeff and I will be present to take care of all of you card singles and accessory needs. If you're looking to sell some cards for some extra cash or just want to buy some singles for your decks, swing on by and say howdy!
The Player of the Year Race is definitely on and we're just days away from the Worldwake Pre-release! Bring your friends, your family, and don't forget those trade binders! Looking forward to seeing all of you soon and kicking off this year the right way!
