*** FREE TO HANG OUT, LEARN THE GAME, AND FELLOWSHIP ***

Thanks to and on behalf of Cactus Game Design and the Redemption TCG Leadership Team, I’m pleased and honored to announce the 29th Redemption National Tournament which is back in Knoxville TN on July 27-29, 2023!

Expect highly competitive rotation format games, eye-popping promos, face-to-face meet-ups with Redemption leaders and the game’s creator Rob Anderson, plus classic side events and lucrative prizes!

The VENUE:
Meridian Baptist Church
6513 Chapman Highway
Knoxville, TN 37920
https://maps.google.com/?cid=3052756655492243237&entry=gps
Ph 865-577-6617 (main office – ask for Chris)
Email: crashfach2002@hotmail.com


Church Overnight Accommodations:
Players and their families are welcome to lodge at the church at no cost. There are two showers located on the floor where people will be lodging. There will also be opportunities for people to lock their things up during the day, but access to the locked room during the day will be limited. The main requests for church lodgers are to be mindful of everyone's space, hygene and showers. Lodgers are required to stay after the event and clean up after yourselves.

Hotels/Motels:
I have two hotels with some rooms reserved:

My "suggested" option is:
La Quinta on Strawberry Plains Pike:
https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/laquinta/knoxville-tennessee/la-quinta-knoxville-east/overview
I have 2 Queen beds reserved under "Chris Fachman" for $367 BEFORE taxes.
The reservations are for check in on Wednesday, July 26th and check out on Saturday July 29th.
They have breakfast, an indoor pool, and a good size hang-out area at the breakfast/check-in area.
The wife and I checked out a room and they were clean and spacious.
These compare very closely to the "sponsored" hotel used in Iowa last year.

Option 2, the "cheaper" option is:
Red Roof Inn on Strawberry Plains Pike:
7525 Crosswood Blvd, Knoxville, TN, US
Booking Ph 855-229-5934
Hotel Ph 865-546-5700
https://www.bookonline.com/hotel/red-roof-inn-&-suites-knoxville-east?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6cKiBhD5ARIsAKXUdyZmwti5O3bZA5OK7LHLUcbw-1qo7ZTpp0vHcL9pGpiY4CgcGsb6NF0aAm8wEALw_wcB#room-types
I have 2 Queen beds reserved under "Chris Fachman" for $265 AFTER taxes.
The reservations are for check in on Wednesday, July 26th and check out on Saturday July 29th.
The main reason this is cheaper is they have little to offer. They DO have a pool, but NO breakfast or hang-out area.
The wife and I checked out a room and they were clean and spacious.
We have used this hotel for previous National tournaments with little to no compliants.

You are free to book any hotel you please that aren't offered here. When I have had family come in they typically stay at the Hampton Inn, but it is more expensive than the two I have booked. If you do book on your own, PLEASE book lodging on Strawberry Plains Pike. The hotels there are fairly cheap and are about a 15 minute drive. Motels on Chapman Highway are gross, so DO NOT GO TO Chapman Highway lodging places.  There also should be available AirBnB homes near the church venue.

Travel Options:
The only airport in the area is about 20-25 minutes away, at Tyson McGhee (TYS).
We do have Greyhound, but this is not optimal as they closed down the main hub and have done little or nothing to remedy the situation. This also means there are no bathrooms or other facilities for bus riders.

Venue Meals:
Breakfast & lunch will be provided at the church on the days of the events for a reasonable cost. Snacks and beverages will be available to purchase on site also. The prices and menu for venue meals will hopefully be out soon!

If you are coming into Knoxville on Wednesday, PLEASE be advised we will be having our typical services and request that you not come to the church until at least 8:00 PM. That will allow us to finish our services and have time to check people in and get them to the area in which they will be sleeping.

Just FYI, the team has discussed the fundraiser cards and we wanted to announce that all of them are legal for tournament play at Nationals except for the 4 cards that are alternate versions of Israel's Deliverance (K/L) which are:

David, Giant Slayer
Goliath, Fear Bringer
Pharaoh Ramses II
Moses, the Deliver

So I have some flight information from the following people:

Matt S.
Chad F.
Samuel A.
Jason R.
Dario V.
Owen D.
Travis M.
Jared S.

If you are flying in I either don't have your information or have forgotten you have sent it to me, which means you won't be picked up. So. . . please get it to me. 🙂
