I am pleased to announce that Chris Fachman will be hosting the Redemption National Tournament at his church in Knoxville, TN July 30 to August 1st.

Chris' UPDATES BELOW:

************************************************************

**Hey guys, so we are using the same schedule as last year (with top cut for Type 1 - 2 player)

Thursday - open at 8am, start play at 9am
Type 2 Multiplayer 4 rounds
Booster Draft 5 rounds
done at 6pm includes lunch break

Friday - open at 8am, start play at 9am
Type 1 2player 10 rounds
Type 2 2player 6 rounds
*Type A 2player 6 rounds
done at 8pm includes lunch break

Saturday - open at 8am, start play at 9am
Type 1 Multiplayer 5 rounds
Sealed deck 6 rounds
Teams 6 rounds

done at 4pm includes lunch break, this leaves lots of time for awards presentation.

* to play in type A you must be 12 or younger and have no national ranking points in any category

**The hotel will be the exact same as 3 years ago, just under different owner ship and a different hotel name:

RED ROOF INN & SUITES KNOXVILLE EAST

**Nearest Airport: McGhee Tyson - TYS

I currently have 10 rooms reserved under Redemption National Tournament. The hotel is $59.99 a night, plus state taxes. I'm getting the rooms somewhat tax exempt through my church record! Also if you book a room and need to cancel for any reason, please do it before July 26th, so you don't lose any deposit or any money!

You are welcome to stay at the church for free on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday nights. You will have to make alternate arrangements for Saturday night due to having to clean the church for Sunday morning.

*****important note! John M. had other engagements this year and will unfortunately not be at Natioanls, so unless someone else has supplies we will not be able to run the Ironman category this year!*****

For anyone who did not go in 2012, let me give an unequivocal out-of-towner's thumbs up for Knoxville as a location and Chris as host.

Knoxville is excited to host Nationals again. We're already getting stuff ready at the church in preparation for everyone's arrival. It's going to be a great weekend and I'm ready to have everyone crash up on the Youth Floor again.

Nats in TN was awesome it was one my earliest tournaments. I really enjoyed it. Chris did a great job running it. Odds are that it may be out of my range a bit this year but if the right car pool situations arise I may be able to make it.

Sounds exciting. Might be able to make this one.

Westy, if you miss consecutive years having Nationals at your home church one year and the next year in the state you live (most of the year), I'm going to be very disappointed...

Red · « **Reply #9 on:** March 09, 2015, 02:43:41 PM »

I will be here. And I will come guns(Decks) loaded.

I'm really going to try and make it to this tournament (I was super bummed I couldn't make it to MN last year).

Most likely I'm going to try and drive it, if anybody from WI or MN area would like to carpool let me know!

We'll see what my schedule looks like. I might have my vacation to use, and I want to at least make it to ONE nationals. lol
