Official Announcement: The Clix Cup July 22-25
Welcome Heroclix players! 2020 was an especially trying year for us all. However, we are moving towards the right direction in 2021. While 2020 has left us starving with 0 in person Heroclix con events, we now have a light at the end of the tunnel. I am self-funding more than 10% of the cost of the event – prices are as low as I can make them without taking a significant loss. Keep in mind there are several costs to the event such as judges and event staff, event space, food/drink, huge prizing, etc. I have to purchase all of the prizing.
I present to you The Clix Cup. A 3 and ½ day event of Heroclix, friends, and fun. Before getting into the location and event details, a few words of safety:
• The event space is being professionally sanitized by the resort prior to our arrival – this includes sanitizing all seats and tables as well as a fog machine sanitizing the entire room
• You are REQUIRED to wear a MASK at all times while in the event space. If you do not possess a suitable mask, one will be provided for you free of charge
• Tables will be socially distanced to the proper CDC guidelines
• Your temperature will be taken when entering the event hall. Those with a fever or Covid-19 symptoms will not be permitted entry
• You will be required to sanitize your hands with hand sanitizer upon entry into the event hall, as well as after each game played (sanitizer will be provided for you, and there will be bottles on each game table)
• Masks may only be removed when it is time to eat at the banquet event, in which tables will again be properly socially distanced
Event Details:
This event is being held at The Hyatt Regency Hotel Orlando located at 9801 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819 on July 22-25, 2021. This is a 4 star resort with restaurants on site, multiple pools and waterslides, and is in the middle of the entertainment-ridden International Drive of Orlando. Minutes from Disney, Universal, and world class food and shopping.
This event has been booked 100% and a non-refundable deposit has been made out of my own pocket.
I have paid an extra fee to keep the entire space available for play from Thursday night to Sunday at midnight. Abuse of the space will result in an immediate removal from the event.
There is a block of 25+ rooms blocked off for the event, starting Thursday night to Monday. The standard room rate is $209-$229 per night for a 2 Queen room with a $29 per night resort fee and a $15 per night parking fee. I have negotiated a special rate of $139 per night with a $0 resort fee as well as a $0 parking fee if staying at the hotel! You will be given a code to use for this special rate. You may self-park from another hotel, but you will be charged a fee of $17 per day as a discounted rate. We encourage you to stay at the event hotel as it helps keep my cost the same.
If you are staying at the event hotel, you will be entered in a special raffle. There will be 2 winners. The first winner will receive a sealed case of the new X-Men Rise and Fall set. The second winner will receive the new Ultra-Chase Deadpool from the same set. You MUST be registered at the front desk in your specific room to receive this ticket. Entries will be verified with the front desk. There is a total allowance of 4 people per room, so the maximum number of tickets from each room is 4. Upon entering the event hall on Friday morning you will be given your ticket if you are registered in a room.
There will be a full-service dinner banquet on Friday night. The chef at this resort is excellent. You will be fed, there will be drinks, and there will be entertainment. There will be chase, super rare, and sealed product giveaways, as well as a FUN contest you are encouraged to participate in for another prize! The cost of this banquet to you is being passed on at roughly 40% of the actual cost to put it on. You will absolutely get your money's worth here!
There will be an official Heroclix retailer, House Rules Gaming of Kissimmee, FL on site the entire weekend. House Rules is famous for their figure previews and attendance at Wizkids presentations. They will be providing the sealed product for all events and will have sealed product and singles for sale on site all weekend.
This event will be furnished with proper judging and event staff to ensure a smooth time, including our head judge and our only sponsor – Joe Pangrazio, who is the owner of ClixNexus, our favorite online Heroclix tool/site.
This event has a player cap of 120 people. I have paid extra for the 2nd largest ballroom on company property, the Florida ballroom. Pre-covid it has a maximum occupancy of 440 people in a classroom setting. Currently, they are operating at a CDC-recommended 220 people. I don’t feel comfortable with that many, so I’ve nearly cut that in half as well for safety reasons.
Bullying, harassment, or fighting of any kind is strictly prohibited during the entirety of the event. You may not belittle others for their social, political, or sexual beliefs of any nature. You must respect the event’s safety measures – if you don’t want to wear a mask or sanitize for everyone’s safety, this event is not for you. Failure to adhere to policy will result in an immediate ban and you will not be refunded for the event.
