Port City BRAWL 2026 this Saturday April 4th, 2026 Update:
We don't cancel events.
We do not cut prize support down for any reason.
This is an all day event. Doors open at 9:00AM and close at Midnight.
This all day event features one main event and as many prize supported side events as we cram in 14 hours in a nice, spacious and clean convention center with a fully stocked bar would take an act of god to cancel. All our events are pre paid for, prize support is secured and stowed away long before promotions and sign ups begin. So if you are or were on the fence of on if this even happens or not, I can assure you it will.
Whether its 8 players or 128 players, we brawl. This is about building a yearly event here in the south that is focused on the vibe, the community, playing as much magic as possible and still offering top shelf prize support all with charity in mind in keeping with the spirit and the roots of what the Premodern community has been built upon.
If you have not signed up, I would encourage you to prior to Saturday. You can do so online at:
