Did ANYONE do poorly in their sealed prerelease?

I see a lot of talk of positive records here, so Io'm wondering if there's anyone to share the light of defeat with. Went 1-4 today. Was really tempted to drop after the 3rd match, but I stayed in, then won one and lost another. My pulls weren't too awful though. Got Drogskol Reaver and a Gravecrawler. Besides that, no real money, and not a solid pool to pull from either. Needless to say, I think I'll prefer the joys of draft as opposed to sealed. Anyone else have any contributions?

    And there is also mention of core and advanced level stores being allocated differently. My LGS is an advanced store and 6 events are being run. The store owner contacted wizards directly and received an okay. What a web page says and what wizards says directly do a store owner and not going to be the same thing.

    Advanced store here, and our information said no drafts. I just linked a publicly available post for the discussion.

    Either your store didn't actually ask Wizards, or got bad/confusing info (maybe they asked about Game Day instead, which they are heavily promoting drafts for).

    That was the rumor but the store owner checked and wizards was fine with it. Unfortunately it was just a rumor.

    Not a rumor:

    "As a side effect of the Prerelease changes, booster draft will no longer be offered at Prerelease events. Sealed Deck and Two-Headed Giant Sealed Deck will be the available formats. That means that the Launch Party will be the first opportunity players have to draft with Dark Ascension, so you might consider turning your launch party into a draft extravaganza if you have a lot of players that like to draft."
