Smokey · « **Reply #2 on:** July 17, 2011, 07:02:07 PM »

I'll be there.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #3 on:** July 28, 2011, 10:27:12 PM »

For those planning to attend, we need your suggestions and votes on how we should do the three phases so that we cans end by 7pm a the latest and yest maximize competition and fun. The initial post has been updated.

Thanks and Godbless!

I'd prefer not to have an entire phase dedicated to Booster, for us poor folks.

What about Booster Draft OR T1 Multi?

OR

Booster Draft that can be paid 50% via cash + 50% via Redemption® cash? with the possibility of being able to pay with just Redemption® cash?

SomeKittens · « **Reply #6 on:** July 28, 2011, 10:52:44 PM »

Either one works for me!

Smokey · « **Reply #7 on:** July 29, 2011, 02:34:05 PM »

I'd like t1-2p and t2-2p to be separated.

And I agree with Kitten's suggestion.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #8 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:30:07 PM »

Ok guys, please see the updated gaming phase plan (see initial post). Let me know your thoughts. We are trying to 'spoil' everyone with the order of events so that we can make it a great and fun day on Long Island as always.

Peace!

If John M. is going I might be able to also.

_JM_ · « **Reply #10 on:** August 01, 2011, 08:10:26 PM »

Lemme see if I can get some folks from PA up there. BD w/ the new tins would be pretty sweet!

czepp · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2011, 06:51:35 AM »

I will be up at college in Williamsport, but it still be the same distance from my house.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:33:42 PM »

Cool!

Let us all do our best to come to Long Island on the 20th. I promise you it'd be a great weekend! The rest of you know it will be a great one as usual!

Godbless!

czepp · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2011, 10:47:23 PM »

Question: It's a 4 hour drive up to the tournament, and while I am capable of driving both ways in the same day, I wanted to know if someone that lives nearby the store that's willing to offer a place to crash. I know JM would agree with me.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #14 on:** August 03, 2011, 12:00:15 AM »

Not sure about the 'crash' part since I do not own the place I live at. Perhaps some players might volunteer their place so let us see. Otherwise those who can afford a bit more may wish to room share at a hotel nearby.

Dario Dante · « **Reply #15 on:** August 10, 2011, 05:31:27 PM »

Well I'm obviously going I live a block away from it!!!

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2011, 07:11:01 AM »

Please read the latest updates on the Long Island event ASAP!

Smokey · « **Reply #17 on:** August 13, 2011, 12:31:05 PM »

I disagree with banning the new set, moving booster to be phase 1 would be the more viable option. This would also give players who are traveling from further distances more time to get there if they don't want to play booster.

czepp · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2011, 10:45:53 PM »

I'm okay with the changes. Is there anyone nearby (within an hour) that has a place for people to stay?

lp670sv · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2011, 10:48:04 PM »

If you are going to ban the new set until after booster, definitely make booster the first category. I'm personally not going to use the new set, but this is the first tournament where they are going to be legal outside of booster and that's a big deal.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:46:32 PM »

I am planning to hold booster draft as Phase 1. This enables those who missed Nats to at least access a new tin set and trade new cards. Decks can then be tweaked to include new tin cards as well as Daniel promo. Please let me know your thoughts. Also, I had to buy the new tins at full price so I will need to keep the BD Draft fee at 15 5 dollars or 15 redcash plus 5 cash. New tins will not be on the narket until perhaps the beginning of September.

There's virtually never leftover stock with Nats. If players don't buy it up, hosts like Roy, John M, or Bill will buy it, or dealers like Ken. There was no buying limit on the new cards, so I'm sure Ken would have purchased anything leftover if no one else wanted it, but I can't say for sure.

I'm all for being able to use the new cards, why else would one attend the first tournament? I can bring my deck, but quite honestly, anything I throw together in a week will be less competitive.

Does that mean I'll win our rematch? haha I might be bringing a few ppl up. I'll have an answer by tonight.
