As the State and County gradually lift business closure and travel restrictions that were put in place due to COVID-19, Spandex City and X-tra Ball will be re-opening and re-establishing our normal schedule of activities in phases. We are currently in PHASE 2 (see below):
Phase 1 (May 8-21 2020):
- Retail stores are allowed to re-open with appropriate social-distancing measures.
- We will operate with reduced hours (see our calendar).
- Customers who are showing, or who have recently shown, symptoms of COVID-19 should not enter.
- All employees are wearing masks, and we suggest that customers please follow CDC recommendations and wear masks as well. (Players in our organized play area must wear face coverings.)
- We will allow a maximum of two (2) parties/families in the retail store at a time; parties are asked to stay together.
- X-tra Ball will be able to service one (1) party at a time for carryout ice cream orders only.
- Pinball machines will be turned off.
- Organized play tables are arranged to reduce capacity and increase social distancing (as shown).
-
Organized play events will be limited to "1 vs. 1" events with a maximum of 8 participants (sorry, no spectators allowed); no handling of other players' game materials is permitted, and players are required to wear face coverings. The following events will be operational:
- Sealed Magic (Fridays at 6:30 pm)
- Pokemon League (Saturdays at 1 pm)
- Magic and Pokemon events are unsanctioned. Results and participation is not reported to Wizards of the Coast or the Pokemon Company.
- All tables will be disinfected between event rounds.
Phase 2 (starts May 22, 2020):
- Store hours extended (now open until 9 pm Wednesday - Friday)
- Eat-in ice cream service is permitted (limit 1 group eating in at a time)
- Dungeons & Dragons resumes (limited capacity; pre-assigned playgroups only; reservations required)
- Sanctioned Magic events resume (prerelease, sealed FNM, Pioneer League)
- NOTE: Face coverings remain required for all organized play!
Future Phases:
- Event capacity will be expanded.
- Sanctioned Pokemon events will be offered.
