  • If you buy a Wizard’s Tournament ticket and also have a weekend pass by another means (ie: you are an exhibitor or vendor or you are Steve Ritchie), bring a friend so they can watch you dominate!

I forgot to include…
The waitlist for both the Wizards and Women’s tourneys will open at 11am CDT.

In! Got an “Error 500: interval server error” when i first refreshed at 10. Refreshed again and the page loaded and completed checkout no problem.

said 100 remaining entered in all my cc info and then nope denied… Oh well saved me some $$$… Good luck to those that made it in. :slight_smile: Have no incentive to go on waiting list as the classics and waiting list are at the same time. If I go I want to play in both.

I’d still purchase Classics with Wizards Waitlist. Classics is pretty cheap entry.

okay you convinced me, got a chance #7 on waitlist hope to see you there my friend :slight_smile:

I’m number 16 on the waitlist and also purchased my Classics ticket on the advice of Colin (LOL). Historically how far down has the waitlist gone in the past?

2022 was a bit of an anomaly… because COVID and missing two whole years.
In '22, the last player on the waitlist that got into Wizards was 56th on the list.
YMMV

I’m in. Looking forward to it!

Regarding the waitlist, I was pretty far down in 2019 and they eventually did get to me, but I was unable to attend by that point. Pretty sure it was at least 50th if not further.
