All three OP-17 pre-release events. Sold out.
Every seat. Every flight. Full room, all weekend.
Watching the One Piece community in Sioux Falls grow like this has been one of the best parts of the year.
Now the honest part.
We dropped from Bandai Gold to Silver.
That one stung. We earned Gold, and we lost it, and there is nobody to point at but us.
So here is the plan: keep filling rooms, keep supporting players at MSRP, keep putting kids first. Gold is the next target. Platinum is the one after that.
Scoreboards go down before they go up. Ours is going back up.
