Attention all players of Magic: the Gathering:

Due to incredibly high turnout for events at Enchanted Grounds and our inability to get the events started and finished in a timely manner, we are making a change to registration. Effective immediately, all registration for Magic tournaments at Enchanted Grounds will end 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. There will be no exceptions: if you are not entered into the system by the 10 minute mark, you will not be able to participate in the event. If you register via phone, and are not present at the start of Round 1, you will forfeit Game 1. At the 5 minute mark, you will forfeit the match. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Hopefully making up for it, the inconveniences you’ve all been experiencing due to late registrants will end. Thank you.
