Welcome to the inaugural Nor'Easter Throwdown at ConnectiCon! The Nor'Easter Throwdown is a three day event jam packed with competitive tournaments and casual events for TCG players of every type! Whether you seek the thrill of competition or the camaraderie of a casual sit-down, there is an event for you. All competitive events will launch with the minimum number of players required to start the event and max at thirty-two players, and as a special show of appreciation for the first Nor'Easter Throwdown, all prizing is guaranteed. What does guaranteed mean? It means we are awarding $1,000 in prizing as long as the event has the minimum of eight players required to launch, and this is not store credit we're talking about. The top eight players (or top 4 for CEDH events) will receive monetary prizing after the weekend is completed (conditions may apply, see prize policy for details.)
With your purchase of a badge to ConnectiCon, you will be eligible to register for these events:
This is a competitive tier event. The first competitive tier event entry fee is $40.
