FNM Payout Changes are inbound

As we move into another month of FNM, and more specifically a new Standard format for our players to play in, the staff at War Torn Front Game Center have decided to shake up the FNM prize Payout.

Starting this Friday, the new FNM Standard Prize Payout will be the following:

W-L-D
 4-0-0 : 12 Packs of Standard or $30 Store Credit
 3-0-1 : 9 Packs of Standard or $22.50 Store Credit
 3-1-0 : 6 Packs of Standard or $15 Store Credit
 2-1-1 : 3 Packs of Standard or $7.50 Store Credit
 2-2-0: 1 Pack of Standard or $2.50 Store Credit

As many of you have noticed, none of our original payouts have changed. We have simply added a new prize support level for players.

After much discussion between the store staff and several members of the community, we determined that this new prize support option would help encourage more players to stick it out and play. Many new and returning players are joining the Kaladesh Standard and we want to give these players even more reason to stick in and play as much Magic as they want on Friday Night.

Players, we are listening and want more ways to help make our FNMs more enjoyable for you all. Feel free to comment, like or subscribe to our Facebook page and offer ideas and comments to help make our little LGS one of the best in the area.
