What is Organized Play? This is the process in which we help the local game stores and communities host Genesis events, get prize support, and help players climb the leaderboard.

Why do we have Organized Play? Organized Play is an essential part of the experience of a competitive hobby game like Genesis. It creates central events, like weekly games at your local game store, that bring the community together. When we get together to play our favourite games, that’s when friendships are formed and we can celebrate the game we all love.

Who should participate in Organized Play? Anyone who loves Genesis! Players should come out and compete, even if they are just learning the game because this will be the best way to learn, get better, and meet friends. Stores should host events because this will help bring your community together and will help you become the place to be for Genesis in your community.

How do I register and start hosting events? That’s easy. Go over to our event organizer website and register. Once you’re approved, you can start making events.

View the leaderboard of all players who have participated and competed in a Genesis event.

 

Many of the official Genesis judges are a part of the fan server and you’ll have immediate access. 

While running an event, you might find yourself in the middle of a judge question without a clear answer. The best way to do this is by joining the Genesis fan server and asking the community there. Or you can email us at help@hauntedcastlegaming.com.

Why are we using Discord? We already use Discord in our gaming ecosystem, and the majority of our partners are already using this platform. 

We want to reward players for playing Genesis on a regular basis. Organized Play kits will contain promo versions of some very interesting cards in Genesis’s history. The goal is to give every player something awesome to take away from the event and enjoy.

How do I get prize support?

If you require any prize support for your community, please send an email to help@hauntedcastlegaming.com with your name, store name, and a telephone number for us to call you.

Prize Structure

There are two parts of the Organized Play prize support.

Part 1 - Organized Play packs (OP1)

These are packs with 4 cards in each pack. Every participant should get a pack for every event you host. If you need more of these packs, please let us know. You should keep a healthy reserve of these packs with you for whenever you need them.

Part 2 - Weekly promo

We will provide you with three (3) promo cards for one major Genesis event a week. One promo goes to first place, one promo goes to second place, and the third promo should be distributed as you see fit to help bolster your community. We recommend giving it to either a new player, a random player or someone from your community that you want to reward for their hard work.

SURPLUS AND SELLING PROMOS AND KITS

Unless otherwise stated, you are free to use any surplus Organized Play packs as additional prizing for future events. 

However, stores and judges are not allowed to sell sealed Organized Play kits and packs, nor are they allowed to open kits and packs and immediately sell the contents. The contents of the kits and packs are meant to be given as gifts to participants in an event.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at contactus@hauntedcastlegaming.com

ENFORCING MAP (MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICE)

To be fair to all partner stores, we will be enforcing our MAP for sealed Genesis: Battle of Champions products. We will find ways to do random spot checks on each store, including checking your online stores. If we find that you are selling your product below MAP, we will suspend all support for your store for Organized Play.

Note: A store may lose all prize support if we find them violate our code of conduct or sell products below MAP.
