Event Details

Time: 9:00 AM
Format: Classic Constructed
Structure: Swiss rounds based on attendance, with a Top 8 cut
Entry Fee: Free to Anime North ticket holders; but donations to Extra Life are appreciated

Prizes

Over $5000 in prizes will be handed out throughout the day! There will be baskets of additional prizing for the top 4 players and participation prizes will be distributed randomly among competitors in between each round.

The path to the biggest stage in Flesh and Blood TCG Organized Play begins with a Professional Tournament Invitation (PTI), and one of the best places to secure these prized assets is Battle Hardened. Players will have the opportunity to battle it out for their share of USD2,000 in cash prizes, exclusive Battle Hardened series playmats to the Top 8, a Golden Cold Foil Legendary card to the Champion, and coveted Professional Tournament Invites (PTIs) to both the winner and runner-up. You read that correctly, there is not one but two PTIs on offer at Battle Hardened!

PTIs can be used to enter any Professional level tournament (including Pro Tours and the World Championship) and do not expire, whereas invitations from the in-store ProQuest series are only valid for their associated Pro Tour event.
