8 Secrets to Getting Regular Players

1. 8 SECRETS TO GETTING
REGULAR PLAYERS

2. The latest location of Face to Face Games joined
the WPN in August, and by October they were
Advanced Plus. With great events like their Fate
Reforged Prerelease, it's not hard to see why.

3. Here are eight things they do to create a positive
experience that keeps players coming back,
Prerelease after Prerelease:

4. 1. Promise a great event in your advertising and
deliver on that promise with a "warm
atmosphere and good customer service."

5. 2. Make food part of the event. The midnight
event offered "Nachos: Reforged" and the next
morning's players fueled up for the event with
pancakes from the store's café.

6. 3. "Bring out the celebrities!" Notable podcasters
Scott MacCallum of the Eh Team and Matty
Studios of Heavy Meta turned out to spellsling.

7. 4. "We have 4-8 judges in the room each
Prerelease and things just get done. Support
your local judge community and they will take
care of you."

8. 5. Have players note a clan preference when
they preregister, so each player has the best
chance of getting the optimal Prerelease pack.

9. 6. Encourage all parents to pre-register their kids
for the same day to make sure they'll have
similarly experienced opponents.

10. 7. "Prerelease should feel like
every Magic players' birthday." Embrace the
activities and have fun with them.

11. 8. Keep it friendly, warm, welcoming. "We do
everything we can to ensure that we are a haven
for all gamers."
