To players who have inquiries about free lodging: I can offer floor space for you at my apartment. If you can bring your own sleeping bag or inflatable, that would be great. There is ample guest parking at my place. You can also pitch in for a hotel room at the venue. I will try to post the 20% discount code asap.

Feel free to PM or post all other inquiries.

Thanks.

Planning to come down with my sister. What's Booster cost? This thread says $15, announcement on Cactus says $20.

Iffy. I'll ask off for those days. God bless ya

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #4 on:** June 10, 2016, 12:09:47 AM »

Thanks for the PMs guys. I hope I have given enough info and have answered your questions.

This Regionals will be a concerted effort led my myself but most especially our dear leader, Terry M.

Please invite new players and even collectors to attend. Contact everyone who may have no access to the message boards.

If we reach a player attendance (not including non-players) of at least 40, each player receives 1x Cow pack + 1x Women pack! Gather all past and present players!

Demos and tutorials will be available to beginners all the time.

Let us match and better the NE attendance! I will truly miss the NE group but I am sure they are all in good hands.

We are on K-Love's Calendar of Events!!!

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #6 on:** June 10, 2016, 04:53:10 PM »

Amen, Brother. I hope to make it to Regionals. I would ask for floor space at your place..if available. I will talk to my guys tomorrow and see if anyone else wants to ride with me. Ill talk to you tomorrow. I am sorry I wasn't able to offer you a place tonight if you were thinking about driving here. Its funny that my wife and my schedules get more full than ever the old the older we get.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #7 on:** June 13, 2016, 09:01:40 AM »

Just a reminder to those who are planning to stay at the hotel: Special Room block and rate expire on Jun 27, 2016. Thanks.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #8 on:** June 13, 2016, 02:44:24 PM »

Just a heads up. I plan to drive down to your home on Friday. I believe Xavier and Noel will be with me. I messaged Chad and he hopes he might be able to make it if he can get the time off from work.
Regardless I will see you on the 24th of June for the local you are hosting at my home. Glad you got home safely.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2016, 02:20:05 AM »

Thanks Terry. Praying for Chad to make it!!! It will be a blessed gaming season for TX.

Meanwhile, I have prepared an excerpted Teams rules and procedures to share with the McKinney playgroup. Simply print copies of the PDF so that your players can start practicing even before my group gets there on the 24th. We will teach it while we play.

So what's the plan for this June 24 Tournament? I must have missed that last Saturday.

The Schaefer · « **Reply #11 on:** June 16, 2016, 12:29:14 AM »

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the local on the 24th but for the regional barring an emergency or something I'll be there. I'm not sure if I'll be able to take Howard though so I might need to find a ride for him.

Sadness · « **Reply #12 on:** June 17, 2016, 05:57:08 PM »

Unable to attend due to personal reasons. Hope yall will have September - December tournaments listed later in the year. Is anyone going to Nats?

Type 1 and 2 are split this year.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:36:21 AM »

Wow it'd be great to see some East Central players as well!

@Marcus re: Impromptu-Sanctioned Official Locals on June 24th -- I plan to hold a $10 Booster Draft first, followed by time for Teams to practice, followed by Teams. Then Type 1 2P is an option if there is time. If there is enough T2 2P demand, I will make that category official as well.

The main purpose of the event on the 24th is to tweak existing decks, acquire new single cards, and for TX to start training for Teams events.

Sorry guys -- Terry in hyper mood.

Thanks again, Roy for hosting our local tournament. It was an honor and privilege to meet, play and beat Dario with the defensive deck he built for me. Actually I think he let me win. Its a perk of getting old. Kinda lick when you let your 7 year old beat you. We had 13 at our tournament, learned how to play teams and generally had a fantastic time chowing down on the unlimited supplyvof burnt hotdogs I prepared throughout the day. See you at Regionals, Roy.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #22 on:** June 26, 2016, 12:06:42 AM »

No. Thank you Terry, for all that you have done for Redemption TX. It is an honor to finally team up together. I am praying that John M's visit to TX before Nats does happen. It will be such an amazing meeting if ever it happens.

*******************
To all: Please read important updates on the initial post. Thanks and Godbless.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #23 on:** June 27, 2016, 11:17:06 AM »

It will happen, Lord willing. My wife said, "Yippee!"

Sadness · « **Reply #24 on:** July 03, 2016, 10:17:51 PM »

Who won and how was the turnout? Happy 4th and God bless yall
