Elestrals

We’re getting closer to the first-ever **Elestrals World Championships** on Friday, March 20th through to 22nd! This will be a packed weekend of celebration for the game, featuring competitors, spectators, and enthusiasts who want to hang out and be part of an incredible event.

The main Championship Tournament kicks off on Saturday morning (03/21) straight after the Opening Ceremony. However, for those not competing, we will have some Side Events firing on demand all weekend, as well as unique daily activities for everyone to experience!

## Friday, March 20

### Last Chance Qualifier

Friday’s biggest competitive event will be the [**Last Chance Qualifier**](https://www.elestrals.com/blog/blog__570dcdd9-1587-4918-b4ab-f6d70b42daf8). Aspirants can compete on Friday the 20th, to earn their final Qualifier Points and claim a place in the main Championship Tournament on Saturday and Sunday. (The LCQ is exclusive to Casters who have yet to qualify for Worlds.)

### Media Day

For Casters who have already qualified for Worlds, we’re excited to invite you all to our **Media Day**. We want you to be in the spotlight! From 10 AM to 6 PM PT, World's competitors can come to our media booth, record a short interview, and have their player photos taken. These may be featured during live broadcasts or via published content at a later date. This whole process is expected to last approximately 10 minutes per player.

### Trade Night

Finally, on Friday night, from 7 PM PT, we’ll have an on-site **TRADE NIGHT**! This will be a great time and opportunity to hang out with fellow Casters and Competitors, play some casual games, trade cards and complete your collections, as well as be part of some raffle prizes being given away throughout the evening.

* Hang out with friends at the event hall and trade cards all evening. There may even be some celebrities in the audience asking about x/99 Gnawbies…
* Some folks on the Elestrals team will be testing out cool multiplayer formats. Hang out with Cam to try out **Two-Headed Twindra** with your own decks in teams of two - or hang out in a pod of **Circle the Sky**, a community made format with a shared prebuilt deck! See [this video](https://youtu.be/yuLOKo-VM1I?si=ziMWMBLABA_Vv52o) with format co-creator [**CalebDOTExe**](https://x.com/calebDOTexe_) (of the [**Elestronauts**](https://www.youtube.com/@elestronauts)) for more details.
* Speaking of the Elestrals team, we’ve given the Community Spirit-slingers the night off and instead will have the **Staff Slaughter** to earn those **Marble Stellar Spirits**. Come on over to the Side Event table and clash to see who can claim the~~ridiculous~~crown.
* Throughout the evening, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to earn raffle tickets, including the return of the fan-favorite **Bounty Binder**. If you’re the first person to trade in a card, you get raffle tickets that scale up based on what kind of card you give us. At 9:30 PM PT, we’ll raffle off the whole binder, along with a lot of other prizes including an Uncut Sheet, signed [aDrive](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-922) & [ShadyPenguinn](https://collect.elestrals.com/cards/cd-3036) Divine Rune cards, and much more. Don’t miss out!

### Prize Wall

We love giving away prizes, but we also want to make sure that everyone gets the prize that they want the most. To do this, we’re changing Side Event prizes to allocated **Prize Wall Tickets**, which can then be exchanged for prizes of your choice! Side Events will still provide similar participation rewards as they did at prior events in addition to rewarding Prize Wall Tickets. You can spend your accumulated tickets on Plushies, Event Playmats/Water Bottles, or save up for high end prizes like an Uncut Sheet, GIANT CARDS, or a STELLAR BUNDLE!
