To all our beloved FF Players in Australia & New Zealand!

We personally want to thank each and every player that participated in our RTW program. A National Leaderboard was a brand new venture for us. We hope this new program brought some fun, excitement and a great competitive offering for you.

Sadly, due to the recent COVID-19 measures, the RTW program can no-longer continue and has been put on-hold for the foreseeable future.

But, this is NOT the end!
Once we have defeated this virus (which we will do)
We plan to re-launch Final Fantasy TCG Organised Play in bigger and better ways!

For now, please continue to play FFTCG either from the comfort of your home with a housemate, or online via:
OCTGN: tinyurl.com/yx48fr7x
TCG League: www.facebook.com/tcgleague/

Any points earned across ALL RTW events can now be claimed for prizes

Please fill out the Prize Redemption Form located here:
www.fftradingcardgame.com.au/events

With all of that out of the way...

At the end of the Opus X Season, in 1st Place we have:
Fallen_bastion & SquashedPeas, both on 75 Points!
Eccentrickery & Richiealvian2 both on 72 Points in 2nd Place!
Phuie123, Tenletters__ & UGG-Kanagawa on 69 Points in 3rd Place!
Dekominator & Ruksha on 66 Points in 4th Place!
HeadJudge, MerkuryQ025, RevanRumble & -Zero- on 63 Points in 5th Place!

Now onto the Raffle Winners!

Hey FF Players!

I've attached a recent announcement made surrounding the RTW Program. Please read through it before continuing this post.

....
...
..
.

Sadly, the RTW program has now ended.
I'd sincerely like to thank you all for making time in your schedules to participate. This was a new venture for us, one that I hope provided some fun, excitement and good competition.

As such, the prize redemption form is now LIVE. It can be accessed here: fftradingcardgame.com.au/events

The form is only available until Sunday, March 30th.

This is because we anticipate the Gift Tin Set to be ready on Monday, March 31st to dispatch to retailers and are aiming to have your prizes sent along side them!

Due to COVID-19 measures restricting tournament opportunities, I have also decided to issue every registered player a BONUS 5 points to spend on prizes.

Again, I want to thank all of you for playing FFTCG!
But, this is NOT the end!

Once we have defeated this virus (which we will do)
Feedback received from this season will introduce new changes when we re-launch Organised Play!
These include:
- Equal opportunities to ensure ALL players can earn enough points for prizes, regardless of their location.
- More limited promo prizes
- A restructure of the program to account for all recent changes.
- National FREE Learn to Play program re-launch (with prizes) themed around Final Fantasy VII Remake

Our friends over in Europe have started TCG League
Allowing players to play Final Fantasy TCG remotely from home across the globe, please check it out here: www.facebook.com/tcgleague
