Details for the 12th Annual Type 2 Only
                     
Redemption Tournament March 3 - March 4, 2017
Location:  Autumn Ridge Church, 3611 Salem Road SW, Rochester, MN 55902

Lodging:  Stay overnight in the church on Friday night, doors open at 4:00pm.
Money is available to help with traveling expenses for anyone traveling from outside the great state of Minnesota.  The last couple years we have had a number of people fly in.
Cost:  Free
Pizza, pop, etc… will be available for purchase.

Tentative schedule:
Friday:  6:00    Type 2-Multiplayer (2-3 rounds depends on numbers and how late everybody wants to play). Other games will be available to play (bring your favorite).
After Multi is over we might play some specialty category to be determined that would involve play testing the new set. Of course there is always a Perkins Run.

 8:00-8:30   Breakfast for those staying overnight
 8:30-9:00   Registration and deck check in
 9:00-6:00   Type 2-2 player, 6 rounds

We will be having an Ironman Tournament on Saturday for those in attendance not playing Type 2. Winner will receive prizes.

Besides normal prizes for a local tournament: 1, 2 & 3rd place winners of Type 2-2 player and Type-2 Multiplayer will get a chance for a special prize. 1st place in each category will get three chances, 2nd place two chances and 3rd place one chance. So if you won Type 2-2 player and placed 3rd in Type 2-Multiplayer, you would have a 4 in 12 chance to win either an unopened box of CoW or if you would like to wait, a box of the new set when it comes out.

If you are planning on staying overnight or traveling from out of state send me a PM so we can plan for you.
Any questions contact Bill Voigt (everytribe)

I wasn't planning on coming, as I have no T2 deck. But if this is a thing... blast it Bill...
 
Remember the Guardian has about 87 type 2 decks, or you can always get on from CountFount. The Uthminister might travel up and bring his stuff so any cards will be available.

I have a couple type one decks, so if I come I would probably play Ironman then. But I'll probably go only if I'm able to drag Ryan along.

I think I might play iron man this year. I have a nice type 1 deck I would like to test, so far I have beaten an Alstad and a Miller with it. It would be nice to test it against some real men from Wisconsin.

Oh, so you'll be playing T22P?

The T2 only is awesome. It rivals nationals. The level of competition is arguably greater..

T2 offers a far more strategic landscape to develop between players than any other category, I believe.

Not to mention I am loving the T2 meta at the moment. There are so many versatile options!!

I have been to it before (2015), and I agree with everything you said about it and the category in general. I know I would probably have no issue borrowing a deck (as I have before), it's just that I know my traveling companion would not want to play it, so he wouldn't come unless we were doing maybe a few games of T1 and some other stuff on the side (video games, unofficial booster?? playtesting??). I also know I would prefer to play a category I would play at other tournaments, given the option, given how few games I play a year.

Besides, I'd probably want to play an ANB offense anyway. No one wants to play against that.

Video games like redemption on lackey? :>

Did you say you want to go and drag I make Ryan go and drag

Could this be the year there's more out of towners than Minnesota players?!? 

Can't wait.

I heard she eats the meta for breakfast

That's only when when Red Dragon Thorn's deck falls off the shelf.

Only happened once thankfully

I don't play T2 but I'm really looking forward to board games and chill!
