NEW! Anyone can play in the August Infinity Gauntlet tournament. Every player will receive the LE Terraxia piece and can win Chaos War LE pieces, but only QUALIFIED players (see below) can win one of the two Colossal Thanos figures.
Spandex City is happy to host the Heroclix Infinity Gauntley Challenge for Charlotte, NC in 2012. This is a series of Heroclix Tournaments that run once a month from January through August. We have both All-Ages and Youth (14 and under) divisions.
Each player at the first 7 tournaments will receive a great participation prize, starting with the Infinity Gauntlet itself in the first month, and followed by one of each of the six Infinity Gems each subsequent month! You can also win exclusive Limited Edition Heroclix figures at each tournament!
Players who compete in at least 4 of the first 7 tournaments (See exception below) will have a chance to win a COLOSSAL THANOS Heroclix figure in the final tournament!
The tournaments will be a mixture of "Sealed Double Booster", "Half and Half", and Constructed formats, culminating in a massive 1000-point brawl for Colossal Thanos in August. Performance in each tournament does not affect your chances to win Thanos, but in order to qualify to win Thanos, you must participate in AT LEAST 4 of the previous Infinity Gauntlet Challenge tournaments at Spandex City!
These tournaments will also "overlay" our regular Winter, Spring, and Summer seasons, so the points you earn at each tournament will help you work your way towards our season-ending playoffs, where you can win a trophy, a store credit, a place on our wall of fame, and bragging rights! You can see our regular season schedule here.
