However, I have the following problem: We play at the FLGS. I am planning on making some of the events be Retail for some people to jump in and play. But once I go to "Event Sanctioning" and enter Retail in the drop down box, I get "You currently do not have any approved locations for sanctioning this type of event. Please contact the DCI/RPGA to set up an approved location." How do I fix this? A phone call?

Follow-up question: Will that mean I have to get on the shop owners to get the WPN location approved or can I as an Herald get it set up? My game store already hosts Friday Night Magic and the like.

My game store already hosts Friday Night Magic and the like. If they already run FNM then that store is already set up as an approved WPN retail location. You just have to get it connected with your DCI/RPGA number, which you can do by following the instructions in the other post. You don't necessarily need to get the store owner involved in that.
