The Wizard’s Cup

1. Event

The Wizard’s Cup Claw Tournament is hosted by LV Market FCA LLC (“FCA”) at the Fantasy Claw Arcade location in Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas, on Sunday, November 22, 2026, starting at 2:00 PM.

2. Entry

Entry is $40 per player, booked online through Square or at the counter. The tournament is limited to 30 players. One entry per person. Registration closes at 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 21, 2026, or when all spots are filled. Every player is enrolled in Square Loyalty when they register.

3. Eligibility

All ages may enter. Players under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present at check-in to sign the waiver. FCA owners, partners and employees, and their immediate family members, are not eligible.

4. Refunds and transfers

Full refund if cancelled before 2:00 PM on Saturday, November 21, 2026. No refunds after that. A player may transfer their spot to another eligible person at no charge, up to check-in, by notifying FCA staff. Players who don’t check in forfeit their spot and entry fee, and the spot may be offered to the waitlist. If FCA cancels or reschedules the event, every player may choose a full refund or a spot at the new date.

5. Check-in

Flight times are texted to each player after registration closes. Players must check in during the 15 minutes before their flight. A player who isn’t checked in when their flight’s check-in closes forfeits their spot.

6. Format

Players compete in flights of up to 6 players. Each flight lasts 5 minutes. The top scorer in each flight advances to the semifinal. The highest-scoring players who did not win their flight (“wild cards”) fill the remaining semifinal seats. The semifinal lasts 3 minutes, and the top 2 scorers advance to the final. The final is a 2-minute head-to-head round. The highest score in the final wins.

7. How the bracket scales

The number of flights depends on how many players register:

8. Machines and assignment

Tournament rounds are played free on dedicated tournament machines. All tournament machines are the same model, set up identically with the same prize layout, and checked by the tournament manager before each round. Before every round, each player draws a numbered chip from a bag and plays the machine with that number.

9. Scoring

One point is scored for each prize that drops through the prize chute during the player’s round. A grab underway when time runs out counts only if the prize drops in that same grab. Prizes that are stuck, hanging or outside the chute don’t count.

Prizes won during tournament rounds are collected by staff, count as points only and stay with FCA. Scores reset at the start of each round.

10. Ties

Any tie that decides who advances or who wins a prize is settled by a sudden-death round on the same machines before the next round begins. The first player to win a prize wins the tiebreaker. If neither player wins within 2 minutes, the tiebreaker is repeated.

11. Prizes

Champion: one new Nintendo Switch Lite (color may vary), approximate retail value $229. Runner-up: one prize of their choice from FCA’s 20-point trade-up tier, subject to stock on the day. All prizes are announced in advance and fixed, whatever the number of entries. No cash, gift cards or substitutions, except that FCA may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if a prize becomes unavailable. The champion must collect their prize in store within 7 days, with photo ID.

12. Token card

Every player receives a Wizard’s Cup card for 20 bonus tokens, redeemable at the Fashion Show counter by December 31, 2026. One card per player. No cash value. Not a gift certificate. Not for sale. Redeemed at the counter, not in machines.

13. Conduct and decisions

The tournament manager’s decisions on scoring, ties and eligibility are final. FCA may disqualify any player for tampering with a machine, interfering with another player, or unsportsmanlike conduct, without a refund.

14. Photos and video

The event will be photographed and filmed for FCA’s social media and marketing. Players, and guardians for players under 18, sign a photo and video release at check-in.

15. Not affiliated

Nintendo is not a sponsor of, and is not affiliated with, this event.
