Continental Qualifier Season
The Continental Qualifier season is in full swing, with events scheduled across North America. Series 1 Mage class deck boxes, Black Temple treasure packs, and Alexei Barov Extended Art promotional cards are all up for grabs. In addition to those prizes, the Top 8 of the event qualify for the North American Continental Championship, to be held at GenCon Indy, August 13–16. Information about prizes can be found on the Continental Qualifier info page.
Upcoming Darkmoon Faires
The next stop for the Darkmoon Faire will be DMF Turin, Italy on June 20–21 (this weekend!). The usual full slate of World of Warcraft TCG and World of Warcraft Miniatures Game events are planned for this DMF, such as the Darkmoon Faire Championship and the Gadgetzan Challenge. For Turin, the format is Constructed for both the TCG and Minis. The Minis map will be Tanaris—Noonshade Ruins. As always, there will be other fun events to take part in as well, like the action-packed Darkmoon Faire’s private PvP server. The next three Darkmoon Faires after Turin will be Sydney, Australia; Boston, MA; and Indianapolis, IN during GenCon Indy.
North American Continental Championship
With $100,000 in prizes for TCG and Minis players, the North American Continental Championship is the next stop in the Road to Worlds. Along with the electronics, loot cards, and exclusive promotional cards, players will be playing to secure their invite to the World Championship in October. The Top 8 for the TCG walk away with Jim Lee-drawn Valeera Sanguinar Extended Art promos. TCG players that make Day 2 will earn the Stormwind City Extended Art promo, and everyone receives the World Breaker Extended Art promo. For the Minis, each player will walk away with an exclusive Murloc Shorestriker miniature. These are all only available at the North American Continental Championship.

Miniatures Game Rules Documents and Judge Tests
Remember to visit the World of Warcraft Miniatures Game website at WoWMinis.com to download some documentation that should help make learning the game even easier than it already is. In addition to the Starter Rulebook, you’ll find a two-page Rules Primer that gives brief descriptions of key terms, abilities, and aspects of gameplay. You can also download the new Comprehensive Rules. All of these are available directly here.
Also, for those of you interested in becoming a judge for the World of Warcraft Miniatures Game, judge certification is available online. You can find the Level 1 Rules Knowledge exam for the World of Warcraft Miniatures Game here. Don’t forget to take your Level 1 Tournament Organizer and Level 1 Player Management exams at ude.com/judge, also. Both of those tests are currently online. Having tournament organizer certification allows you to host, sanction, and upload official World of Warcraft Miniatures tournaments. Certification in player management will not only help you give your players the best tournament experience possible, but also open up some future judging opportunities for you should you want to get involved with events on a more national scale, such as Darkmoon Faires. Some events will even sponsor out-of-town judges’ travel expenses. Now is a great time to get involved with this new game!
