ATTENTION!! If you have hosted a tournament in the past and are a message boards member, please PM me if your "Position" has not yet been updated to Tournament Host. If you have another position apart from Junior Member or Senior Member, you must choose between that position or Tournament host. Elders, Playtesters and the like may not change their positions please. Thanks and Godbless.

*******************************
Redemption® CCG Game Master - is a host, judge, referee, etc. who has committed himself/herself to promote Redemption® gaming by organizing a tournament no matter how small the attendance.

Wikipedia has a definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_master

In Redemption®, all it takes is be at least 15 years of age to host. If you are younger than 18, all you need is adult supervision during the tournament itself.

Shown below are quick start downloads for you to start your Redemption® hosting:
https://www.cactusgamedesign.com/downloads/

Fast Track hosting tips:
a. You may host your first two Local tournaments by yourself, then you are allowed to host your first District tournament, etc...
b. An existing host who has hosted above Local and District level may co-host with you on your first Local, and then co-host again as you jump ahead to your first District tournament without needing to host another Local.
c. Let you and your playgroup members join the Redemption Gamers Discord server AND create your own for your area, region, or state (it's so easy).

Thank you for the heads-up. That was probably recently taken off. And CBS was not willing to give us a video copy of that event. Perhaps the MN group could request for it once again so that we can at least upload it on YouTube.

Godbless.

Patrick Wester no longer hosts tournaments in Austin, MN. Hopefully, he'll be starting (another) play group in Rochester.

I'm not in Vineland anymore, now leading the Redemption Raiders in Rochester

browarod · « **Reply #8 on:** January 26, 2011, 04:28:07 PM »

Cheryl and Ken Locklin and I (Scott Bowen) all should be under Hartland. Our whole playgroup is there.

I think it might be time to update the list. I was looking at Cali and I know that Clinton doesn't host anymore (I don't think he plays anymore as well) and I have never seen Fontana on the tournament list. From what I've seen, Bryon is the main person for tournaments while I usually host only one or two a year (hopefully my group grows so I can host more).

joeychips · « **Reply #12 on:** February 27, 2014, 07:02:43 PM »

Wow, there are some great tournament resources here. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm looking forward to hosing my first tournament in Chicago and this will help me understand what it takes.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #13 on:** April 03, 2014, 11:36:42 PM »

Tourney host list updated. Please let me know if any corrections need to be made.

Thanks and Godbless.

Attention ALL board members who are tourney hosts:

A board member (who is also a tourney host) has triggered my urgent request for message board members who are tournament hosts whose status on the boards have not yet been upgraded as such, to please PM me.

The status upgrade is not automatic in that it's not easy to associate most board names with actual tourney host names.

Prompt updates are truly appreciated.

Thanks and Godbless.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2014, 09:44:26 PM »

Thanks for the update and it seems you got me covered already!

Cnakeyes is also a host incase he doesn't see this for a while
