The Mega Evolution Pitch Black Prerelease Tournament will be held Monday July 6th prior to the official early release on July 13th
Starting Saturday July 4th, and running until Sunday July 12th, Leisure Time Games will be hosting Tournaments on Demand for the latest set for the Pokémon TCG, Mega Evolution Pitch Black. On top of that, on Monday, July 6th, Leisure Time Games will be hosting our official Mega Evolution Pitch Black prerelease as well. This schedule gives all players a chance to try out this new set before early release for Play! Pokémon stores (like Leisure Time Games) by having options for players to play in a spontaneous event, or in a scheduled one.

From the official Pokémon website:
Twinkling city lights and a starry sky become obscured in darkness as Mega Darkrai ex arrives with mystery and malice! But Mega Zeraora ex fights back with thunderous strikes of lightning, leading the way for Mega Chandelure ex, Mega Excadrill ex, and more to join the fray. Shadows deepen and nightmares become reality in the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Pitch Black expansion!
Over 115 cards
More new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex
More than 20 Trainer cards
More than 35 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations
What's a Prerelease?
From the official Pokémon website:
In the Prerelease format, players compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. Prerelease is perfect for introducing new Trainers to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it gives seasoned Trainers a window into everything Mega Evolution—Pitch Black has to offer. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.
What Comes in a Pitch Black Build and Battle Box?
From the official Pokémon website:
Each Build & Battle Box includes four Mega Evolution—Pitch Black booster packs and a 40-card, ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior expansions, as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the always-electric Miraidon, carefree Slowbro, sneaky Dhelmise, or bulwark Bastiodon.

Officially, we are hosting our main prerelease on Monday July 6th, starting at 5:00 PM. Regardless of which event (or events) you enter, for your entry fee of $39.99 plus tax, you will receive
