Magic: The Gathering" is a customizable card game in which players attempt to create powerful decks of cards from a card library that includes hundreds of different cards. Friday Night Magic, or FNM, is a promotion run by Wizards of the Coast, the manufacturer of "Magic: The Gathering" that allows card shops around the world to run tournaments on Friday nights. Eligible stores running a FNM event are given four special cards to be distributed to players who participate.
Instructions
1. Host at least four events, with at least 30 unique players total in the 12 months prior to your Friday Night Magic event. At least one of the events must have involved more than 12 players. You must register at least six new players in the year prior to the Friday night event as well. By completing all of these needs your store can earn core status and be eligible to host a FNM event.
2. Schedule the event between two months and one month prior to hosting it.
3. Set a format for your event. Stipulate which style of decks, if any, will not be permitted, and how the players will compete, such as in a round-robin style or an elimination tournament. The format of all FNM tournaments is at the discretion of the organizer, with only a minimum of eight players required.
4. Advertise your sanctioned events, including Friday Night Magic, in advance to increase attendance.
5. Set up tables and chairs to accommodate all the players.
6. Award one foil card each to the top two finishers. Award the remaining two foil cards to two randomly selected participants in the event.
