Magic The Gathering Shards of Alara Prerealse
Prereleases provide a way to play in a large-scale event in a low-stress environment. You get to play with the cards before you can buy them, special promotional cards are given out to the first 24 players and the top players can win even more cards. So have fun!
All players must have a DCI number. Playing in a sanctioned event means your results are recorded and begin to give you a player rating among the thousands of Magic players worldwide. If you don’t have a DCI number yet, the event organizer on site can provide you with one. For many players, Prereleases are a fun and easy way to play in their first sanctioned events.
At Prerelease events, the emphasis is on casual play with a high degree of sportsmanship. You don't need to know the rules well, but you should always be polite and respectful to your opponents. If there is a disagreement, or a question about a ruling, please call the organizer who will help you out.

Booster Draft: Wizards of the Coast expressed concerns over too much product being distributed before the actual on-sale date with Prerelease drafts being the primary agent of that distribution. They also expressed concerns over not being able to logistically manage the sanctioning of booster drafts for ten times more Prerelease locations. As such, they have decided to disallow booster drafts at Prereleases, beginning with Shards of Alara. No Shards of Alara Prerelease location is allowed to offer booster drafts – sanctioned or unsanctioned – and any location that does is in directly violation of Wizards of the Coast policy.
