Next up: Cardfight
Vanguard. We had carried this back in 2013 and signed up for their OP program
at the time. However, interest in the game petered out pretty quickly locally
and after scheduling a few events that had zero or 1 attendees, we let
Organized Play for the game lapse. However, since we have seen a slight (and I
mean slight) increase in interest and sales of the game, we decided to pursue
Cardfight Vanguard OP again.
Contacting Bushiroad was easy, much easier than Panani, with
an OP contact email easily found on the website. Bushiroad’s OP people also got
back to us within 48 hours after the original email. However, set up for
hosting events was not quite as easy as with Panini.
We received back an actual form from Bushiroad which asked
for information about what product we
carried, how many people we could seat in a tournament and how many participants
we expected for tournaments as well as optional questions such as how many
years in business. Bushiroad also wanted photos of the store, including the
storefront, tournament space and counter area, the better to make sure we ran a
brick and mortar store and were not just an operation looking to score
promotional items ( which, from what I understand, are very high quality). We
sent the info in, got approved that same day and started receiving emails
reminding us to sign up for pre-releases and demo days.
