Does anyone play in central florida. Im a hour away from orlando ,tampa , and the. SWAMP .
I am trying to teach my son and some of his freinds the game .but still having trouble understanding some of the rules myself. so I thought playing or watching in person would help me.

YourMathTeacher works at Disney World, so I think it's safe to assume he's within driving distance of Orlando .

Cant wait.
Let me know when.
Are there any children playing in your local tournaments?

Plenty. Some of them even under the age of 18. (I'm a big kid ). Seriously though, Tim's group consists of mostly kids/teens.

Then my son should do fine.
Now im worried about my self!

No worries. If you need to trade cards to upgrade your deck before the tournament, then that can be arranged. I have just about every card in the game available for trade. My players are pretty much civilization focused, so you will face Blue Genesis, Green Prophets, Garden Tomb Ladies, Angels, Red Banding, and Judges offenses. You will also face Egyptian, Magician, Orange Demon, Pharisees, Philistines, Assyrians, and Syrian defenses. None of my players use the same civilizations, so you get a great variety at my tournaments. No two games are the same! 

Fortunately you will not have to play against me, since my Absalom's Soldiers deck is nigh unbeatable. 

I must warn you, though, that Josh (TheKarazyVP that posted above) is a unique individual that brings entertainment along with high-tier competition. He has been known to bring his Heroless deck from time to time, as well as an outlandish array of hats. 

We also tend to engage inextracurricular activities if time permits. I have a different video game console set up in each room, so you can play the PS3, Wii, PS2, Gamecube, N64, or even 3DS and DS. We also have an affinity for multiplayer games like Settlers of Catan, Shadows Over Camelot, Pit, and Phase10.

I guess since I have no clue what you are talking about .I should look into deck building strategy.
What type of deck?
I have been trying to build up my collection while learning the rules as we use e/f and g/h decks.

Again, no worries. We can discuss all your options just before the tournament, or you can play in the tournament against the different civs to see which one you like.

Civs=Civilizations Civilizations=Different people groups which are represented by groups of Characters and Enhancements in Redemption,

Thanks for the explination im gonna do some mor home work on this.

Various civilizations have different strategies. Eg: egyptians tend to discard cards from the deck, tgt tends to ignore evil characters, prophets tend to shuffle evil characters, etc.

Great cheat sheet thanks.

Im moving down to South Florida in a couple months, i am currently in Prof Underwoods play group but it would be nice to catch some of you tournaments.

Where in South Florida? If you are talking Miami, then you will be 4 hours away from me. If you mean the University of South Florida (which is actually in Tampa), then you will be less than an hour away.

I will be like right above Miami, but im sure i will make a couple

See if the Delarosas are still hosting. They were near Ft. Lauderdale.

I played with them when i was down there before but its only them two left in there play group

Maybe it'll just take having a guy like you to bring some fresh fire to them.  You could be the encouragement they need to restart their playgroup.  I know they are both very creative when it comes to recruiting players.  They're just a bit discouraged after their first round of recruits didn't last.  They just need someone to help them decide to give it another try

I will want to build a t1 deck for this tournament ?
