Pokemon Pack Battle Tournament
One of the most anticipated games of the day is the Pokemon Pack Battle Tournament! This game requires a ticket to play. Tickets can be purchased here!
How this works:
- Purchase a Cutoff Crafts’ Pack Battle Tournament Entry Ticket. Every Battler needs a ticket.
- Come to our Pokémon Winter Celebration.
- At 2pm we will start checking tickets and preparing for the Pack Battle Tournament! All players must be checked in and ready to battle by 2:29pm. The Battle will start at 2:30pm!
Cutoff Crafts will supply the packs for each battle.
How to play Cutoff Crafts’ Pack Battle Tournament:
- Players will sit across or next to each other.
- A member of Cutoff Crafts will give each player a pack. Packs will start with Trick or Trades and could increase in value with each round. The final battle will feature a Prismatic Evolutions pack. (Packs are subject to change)
- Once a member of Cutoff Crafts says “Battle”, players will rip open their packs and display their cards. A member of Cutoff Crafts will decide who is the winner using a ranking sheet we will have available. The player with the top card wins the battle and moves onto the next round. The player who did not win, steps away. All players keep the cards they open. Yes, that means if you pull a crazy $1000 card, it is yours.
- The next round will be the same. Players will face off with a sealed pack of Pokémon cards. This will continue until one player remains. The last remaining player will be declared the Winning Battler and receive The Grand Prize!
The Grand prize is a Near Mint 2016 M Charizard EX card and a Charizard Card Holder Statue!
This pack battle has a special surprise! The more people that join the bigger the prize pool! That means, the grand prize increase as we get more players! Once each level is reached, the prize is unlocked! We have already unlocked the Promo Card set! So share and buy your tickets ASAP to see how many levels we hit!
Possible Prizes added to the Pokemon Pack Battle Tournament are:
(CHECK) Level 1: Promo Card – Cutoff Crafts will add a Cosmic Promo Card to the prize pool!
Level 2: Japanese Pack – Cutoff Crafts will add one random Japanese Booster Pack to the prize pool!
Level 3: Charizard Tin – Cutoff Crafts will add a Charizard Pencil tin to the prize pool. The tin comes sealed with two booster packs!
