You may already know NRGEvents.gg is bringing the next Series event—and a full weekend of play—to PopCon.US this May. What you may not know yet? This is one of the most ambitious, player-friendly schedules we’ve ever built. 🧭 A Smarter Schedule: Play that is "On Time" To make navigating a multi-game weekend seamless, we’re introducing Time Codes across the entire schedule: 🕐 Top of the Hour → Riftbound 🕒 Quarter Hour (:15) → Lorcana 🕕 Bottom of the Hour (:30) → Magic: The Gathering 🕘 Last Quarter Hour (:45) → Flesh & Blood You’ll know what’s launching—just by looking at the clock. ⚡ Always-On: The NRG Turbo Power Plant Between scheduled events, the action continues. Welcome to the NRGEvents.gg Turbo Power Plant : Sit down anytime Choose any game, any format Play a 1v1 (or one multi-player pod) for a single-round match Earn prize tickets—fast (Prize tickets redeem at the Prize Wall for packs, accessories, and more.) Yes, this means: 👉 Underserved, out-of-print games 👉 Unsanctionable format like Old School MTG 👉 Even competitive UNO (seriously) The only stipulation in the Turbo Power Plant is all play is with authentic cards and real opponents. 🃏 More Games, More Shots: On-Demand Events Looking to play something more than a 1-rounder of your favorite game? You can put your name in the queue for On-Demand Events (ODEs) all weekend for most games. Digimon One Piece Pokémon Star Wars: Unlimited And more The moment a critical mass of players are ready—you'll be gathered and play. Simple as that. The typical events here are either the 8-player, "Win-a-Bunch (of Prize Tix)" single elimination events or sealed 8-player or 4-player "Pick Two" drafts. 🔥 Flash Events As the main schedule winds down, you can still play. Just like Sonic, you have to go fast! NRG Flash Events will run later into the day based on demand: 1-Round Drafts Rapid-fire ODEs Turbo Power Plant specials If you still want to play, you can do so until our staff decides to sleep (or the venue kicks us out). 🎟️ Do You Need a PopCon Badge? Short answer: 👉 You need a PopCon badge to access PopCon. 👉 You do not need a badge to play NRGEvents. That’s right. NRGEvents.gg remains committed to a core promise: No cost to enter the play space. 🎉 But You’ll Probably Want the Badge Anyway PopCon.US isn’t just hosting us—it’s a full-scale pop culture experience: Celebrity guests Vendors and artists Amateur wrestling Escape rooms Interactive experiences (You can make your own leather dice bag!) Last year, many NRG players took advantage of discounted badges and turned their tournament weekend into a full convention experience. And the discount badges are back courtesy of PopCon.US. Get a 1-Day Discount Badge here . Get an All Weekend Discount Badge here. That opportunity is back. And yes—if you want your TMNT, LOTR, or other Universes Beyond cards signed , you’ll want that badge. 😉 🚀 Power Your Play NRGEvents.gg is honored to Power Your Play at PopCon.US .
