Step 2 - Running an Armory Event

Armory Events are the core of any stores Flesh and Blood Calendar. Here are a few key points:

• Armory Events can only be run once per week (if you miss a week you cant roll it over to the next week).
• These are considered a casual level event.
• Armory Kits support four weeks of play.
• You do not require a qualified Judge to run an Armory event.
• TO's are allowed to play in their own Armory events.

Formats

Armory Events can be run using any of the following formats. Blitz and Booster Draft are recommended formats for Armory Events:

• Blitz - 30 min per round
• Booster Draft - 30 min per round
• Classic Constructed - 50 min per round
• Sealed Deck - 30 min per round
• Ultimate Pit Fight - 50 min per round
• Commoner - 30 min per round
• Shapeshifter Sealed - 30 min per round
• Blitz Pre-Constructed - 30 min per round

All Flesh and Blood matches are best of one.

While we recommend Draft and Blitz as Armory formats, talk to your community about what events they want to see. During the course of year the formats of higher level events will change and players will want to follow the different formats.

Running your event

Step 1 - Create your event in GEM. Creating your event will allow players to register for it online and in-store. It will also appear in our Event Locator

Step 2 - Contact your distributor to get an Armory Kit (Kits are only available to GEM registered stores while stocks last).

Step 3 - Advertise your event. Make sure your store profile is updated with all your social media. To further advertise your events you can find official images on the Marketing Assets page.

Step 4 - Enter your players into GEM, run the event and give out prizes!
