Frequently Asked Questions 

Do I need a DCI Number for the Prerelease? Yes, and if you don't have one we'll get you one at the event. 
 
I don't know my DCI Number what is it? If we have it in our database here it is:  . If no number is listed we can look it up when you get to the prerelease.   
 
Can I buy Conflux Boosters at the Prerelease?  No - Gnome Games will not sell any boosters before the official street date of Friday Feb 6, 2008.
 
Can I still Preorder a box of Conflux Boosters? Yes! Gnome Games will honor preorder pricing of $100 / box with 25% down through Monday Feb 2.  It's too late for the prepay deal of $90/box though - that deal ended a week ago - but we will have that prcing deal available for the next set starting Friday Feb 6th!
 
Can I sell my cards at the Prerelease?  No - not unless you have a vendors agreement with Gnome Games, insurance and all appropriate local and state sellers permits.  If you would like to be a vendor at a prerelease please contact us. If we catch you selling cards or arranging for payment in the parking lot etc. we will ask you to leave and report your sales to the appropriate local authorities. 
 
Can I drop from one event to play in another one? Yes, but you will not be eligible for any prizes in the event you dropped from.
 
Can I play at both prereleases? Yes - we'll seat players as long as we have enough boosters to play with!
 
Will there be a Release Tournament too? Yes!  Gnome Games will host the Conflux Release Weekend filled with tournaments  next weekend.  
 
Will these events count for Player Rewards? Yes!  All prerelease events will be reported through the DCI reporting system.  All tournaments will affect your limited ranking, and count towards your player rewards.  Open Dueling is a casual event and will not count toward your rating or player rewards, however we will report it.
 
Can I get a job at Gnome Games? Maybe - Gnome Games is occasionally looking for professional, charismatic, knowledgeable staff.  Our expectations include good grades, professional appearance, high attention to detail and excellent customer service and interpersonal skills.  We have applications available at the store.
