I like T1 - 2P and Booster the most.  As long as these aren't paired against each other, I won't care about how all other events are scheduled.  Also, just curious - will there be TEAMS?

I would prefer the 7th category to be late Friday, as I will have to leave to drive home Saturday evening. 

EDIT:  June 23rd is far and away the best date.  It's probably the only one I can make.

[Prof Underwood]

will there be TEAMS?

My current thinking on event schedule is:

Friday (around 7pm)  - TEAMS    and Sealed
Friday (late night)      - T1-mp
Sat (around 8:30am) - T1-2p     and T2-mp
Sat (afternoon)          - Booster and T2-2p

[Chronic Apathy]

Definitely NOT June 30th, other than that, I don't think I have a preference, but I'll check and post again shortly.

[cincyoldguy]

Prof. I voted for the June 23d date. If possible please add a vote for Rebeccah as she is not on the members list. Your tentative schedule is fine by us as shown.

Have you heard anything about possible dates for Ohio/Kentucky tournaments before Nationals. We plan on making Nats but would like to play some others before then. Take care, Allen and Rebeccah.

[galadgawyn]

I've been preoccupied with life and just recently realized how late in the year it was and that we don't have any OH state tournament scheduled yet.  I talked to Travis (who I think has also been pretty busy) about doing the OH tournament (I don't think anyone else in OH is applying for it). 

We would like to have one, especially since we've had a state tourney the last several years and it'd be a shame to break the streak.  I have no idea on date yet.  We would of course like to avoid conflicting with your events, Mark. 

I would love to come down for your Regional but with the baby due sometime in June/July, I'm not sure thats feasible.  Especially since I'm hoping to make it to Nats with it being that close.  I may not even be able to be at our OH tournament if I happen to be in the hospital that weekend! 

As for other OH tournaments, I'm not sure if we'll have any official events but we have plenty of open gaming days which include almost every Tues.

So what is the latest on this?

[Prof Underwood]

Opening post updated, and hoping for input again.

[RTSmaniac]

I vote A due to thats what ive asked off from work for already but if its going to be later I will need to know at least a week in advance so I can make sure that I can be there.

I think we're going to try to decide within the next couple days, so a week's notice shouldn't be a problem.  So could you ONLY do A, or would B & C also be possible for you?

[Josh]

At this point it's looking like there are 3 options:

A - July 14th in TN (at Crashfach's)
B - July 21st in KY (at the normal Oakdale location)
C - July 21st in TN (at Crashfach's)

I will be there if Option B is selected.  TN is too far away to make it work.

If you were going to back out, then why didn't you let have WV have it.   

I continue to mourn my misfortune of not going to Regionals anywhere.

[Prof Underwood]

If you were going to back out, then why didn't you let have WV have it.

I'm sorry that things worked out this way.  A lot of unplanned stuff happened.  And I'm still hoping to NOT back out, as I'd love for option B to end up happening, but Crash and I want to see which of these options works for the most people.

[cincyoldguy]

Hi Mark. Option B works for me and probably Rebeccah too. Not willing to go to TN as we will be going there for Nats a few weeks later. Take care, Allen

PS: Hope all is well with you and your family. alc

It'd be great to see you guys, and thanks for the well wishes.  God has blessed our family during this time in AMAZING ways.  I'll have to tell you about it when I see you next

[jbeers285]

Hey I could attend the weekends of the 13th and/or 20th if I could get a ride from cincy . . .  prof let me know about this thread and id love to go if I could get a ride thanks much

[crustpope]

I havent built a deck this year and have not even played in a competitive game this year other than Micah's Tournament.  I have most of the new cards and a few ideas, but no real time and I am so out of the current strategies this year.  I feel lost lol

I will probably get back into it next year in the fall.  Any word on the new set for this year?

[cincyoldguy]

jbeers285 and crustpope, once Mark sets the date I will determine if I will attend. If so either or both of you are welcome to travel down to KY with me...and probably Rebeccah. Matt, we've have not played any either and just want to play some before Nats. Ky is always a great host and the competition is very good as you know.

Iwill contact both of you when we know dates. Take care, Allen.

[Chris]

The closer to PA the more likely it is that I can attend. Dates don't matter (I wouldn't make it for Friday either way), but if T12P is on Saturday, I just might make it.

[Red]

I vote A due to thats what ive asked off from work for already but if its going to be later I will need to know at least a week in advance so I can make sure that I can be there.

Not sure but I possibly possibly could go with clift on this date.

[uthminister [BR]]

If we were going to make it to any of the three options it would be the 21st in KY.

B and C are also possible for me as I would be traveling with Crash.

[Chris]

A couple of us from the southern PA/MD playgroup would like to make it down there. Unfortunately, I work until lateish Friday night, so I would be leaving around 8-10pm Friday night, driving through much of the night, to be there a few hours before the actual tournament, maybe catching some sleep, and all that jazz. The only way this is even remotely possible is if it's at the Oakdale location and T12P starts later in the day (perhaps noon?) so that those of us who wish to, can get some sleep after such a long car ride. Don't make plans around us of course, but if that's viable to do otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated, and I'll do what I can.

[jbeers285]

Cincyoldguy- it would be so awesome to ride with u and I would be stoked to be apart of the tournament

[Prof Underwood]

jbeers285, we'd love to have you join us, and getting to ride with the Collins would be an added bonus for you

Crustpope, who cares about playing competitively.  Just come on down for some fun and fellowship.  I have free doughnuts for you, and it would be great to catch up since we've all been apart since Micah's Tournament.

Chris, if you and some guys are coming all the way from PA, I'll make sure we have T1-2p after you guys arrive.  We'd love to have you.

Red, could you ride with Clift on all 3 dates, since he said any of them would work for him?

uthminister, it would be great to have you and your crew come down.  It's been a while, and it would be great to see everyone again.  I'd also like to catch up with you on your store, your church, and life in general
