I'm planning on making an appearance. Still not sure how many hoodlums will be tagging along with me, though I hope to have a full car.

CountFount · « **Reply #5 on:** June 08, 2011, 05:07:00 PM »

I heard from the host that if you email him the names of those coming and their email addresses he will count that as pre-registering and give the discount. They haven't nailed down the schedule yet. They are curious to who is planning on attending and what they would like to play.

well if we come it would be 4 or 5 of us id really like to try teams but i am afraid i dont know the rules for it!

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #7 on:** June 08, 2011, 06:55:59 PM »

So far I haven't had a chance to play teams yet, either. I went up to Iowa for their state tournament and then for the regional tournament, but each time Teams was the last block when I needed to be driving home.

scuba redemption, forgot all about that. priceless.

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:57:25 AM »

Yes, the Harvest Time I use in my official tournament deck is from that Scuba game -- it still has the imprint of the large paperclip I had to attach to it to keep it from floating away.

Everyone, I apologize for dragging my feet on publishing the official schedule of events. I've made the registration fee 50% off for pre-registration (by 6/15--just send and email to Kordel@LentineFamily.com with your name) for the express purpose of having a better idea of how many to expect in advance, and will release the tentative schedule after that deadline. Although about half of the state tournaments are 1-day events, all of the other larger tournaments I've hosted in the past (State, Regionals, and even Nationals in 2003) have been 2-day events. It seems tight to me, so I have been talking to others who have hosted 1-day state tournaments (like Bryon Hake and FaithRaider) to see what worked for them. The big variable is the mandatory number of rounds based on attendance, and I hope to have a better idea of what to expect after 6/15. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #11 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:07:14 AM »

Everyone, let me know either here or by email (Kordel@LentineFamily.com) what one or two events you are hoping to play in, and I will do my best to keep that in mind when finalizing the blocks.

ACe · « **Reply #12 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:41:40 AM »

In sealed deck what type of packs are you using or is it tins?

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #13 on:** June 09, 2011, 05:53:20 PM »

Sealed deck will have choice of one Thesaurus or Disciple pack, and one Angel Wars or Priests booster pack.

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #14 on:** June 09, 2011, 06:00:02 PM »

Everyone, I decided that I didn't really like squeezing this tournament in to one rushed day, so I checked with the church and with Rob, and the Missouri state tournament has officially been extended to TWO days. We will have one block of play on Friday evening (6/24) and two more on Saturday (6/25).

Master KChief · « **Reply #15 on:** June 09, 2011, 07:17:51 PM »

what time will it start on friday?

also, i did not see anything about draft. will draft be offered, especially now that its a 2-day event?

Red Warrior · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2011, 08:20:14 PM »

I believe Zach, Cody, Caleb, Kara and I will only be able to attend on Saturday unless we made the trip back up to Braymer to stay for Friday evening.

I personally would like most to play in T1-2P and T2-2P (Maybe T2-MP).
The rest of my group will probably play T1-2P, T1-MP, and Teams.

CountFount · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:19:27 PM »

Our group can't make except Saturday. We would like to play type-2 2 player and booster draft.

Rubber band warrior · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2011, 09:29:06 PM »

I probably wouldn't be able to make it Friday night either, though there is a chance so long as it starts after 7:00 or so.

ACe · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2011, 11:37:59 PM »

We won't be able to make the Friday one we want to play type 1 2player and teams

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2011, 07:01:38 PM »

Everyone, still sorry to be taking so long on the schedule. Since we're not coming from an active playgroup, I'm trying to get as much feedback as possible from participants. Thanks for everyone's feedback so far. I can't do everything that EVERYONE wanted, but still quite a bit. Here are some answers to some of the questions I've got here and by email:

There has not been enough interest to justify adding booster draft. Sorry. We will be staying with the 6 categories listed on Cactus' tournaments page.

I'm sorry to see so many that might not be able to make it on Friday. If it helps with anyone's arriving and departing schedules, anyone who wants is welcome to spend Friday and/or Saturday night at my house. I don't have many extra beds (only one hide-a-bed), but I have 6 recliners (my boys like to sack out on those--it would kill my back), 2 air mattresses, and lots of floor space if you bring sleeping bags. I can also make space for a separate room for girls. Just send me an email or PM if interested.

I will have food available for sale at the tournament, and there are nearby fast food options. I'll supply more details on that by emails to everyone who pre-registers after the deadline.

Red Warrior · « **Reply #21 on:** June 11, 2011, 07:35:42 PM »

Kordel,
Thanks so much for all the effort you are going to in order to make this happen. We really appreciate your servant's heart. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help getting things together!

Looking forward to getting to fellowship with some fellow Redemption players again!

ACe · « **Reply #22 on:** June 11, 2011, 10:14:49 PM »

Let us know too if you need help i have hosted tourneys before!

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2011, 09:04:37 AM »

Everyone, don't forget the pre-registration deadline for 50% off the registration fee ($3 instead of $6) is June 15th (2 days from the date of this posting). To "pre-register" all you need to do is send an email to Kordel@LentineFamily.com with your name and what category (or categories) you would most like to play.

So far I only have 5 pre-registered, but have 20 that have expressed interest. Keep in mind, statements like "me and a friend" or "me and a car load" do not count for pre-registration for the "friend" or "car load." I NEED an actual name for each one who want to be added to the pre-registration list. Thanks!

Kordel Lentine · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2011, 04:11:12 AM »

The pre-registration list is up to 17 players. Don't forget to "pre-register" (send me an email or message with your name) by midnight 6/15 if you haven't already.

I have had quite a bit of feedback suggesting that booster draft would be much more popular than closed deck. So much that I am thinking of replacing sealed deck with booster draft. Does anyone have any thoughts or preferences on this?
