Here are the Tournament results for our July 17 & 18th NC Regional tournament at North Heights Lutheran Church in Arden Hills, MN.  We had a good turnout, felt like a family reunion. I think it was the first time 8 official catagories have been played at a Redemption tournament. One streak was broken, first time in 8 years Tim Maly or Justin Alstad had not won Type 2-2 player. One streak continued, after getting beat by a random little kid in 2004, Tim Maly has won 5 Type 1-2 player titles in a row. Good quality competition all around. The top 4 placers in type 1-2 player were all former national champs.

Dominated might not be the right word. I think surviving might be better. Tim won four games 5-4 and three games 5-3.
Although a 5-4 win is just as good as a 5-0 win if you are undefeated. I tried my hardest to derail Tim but no luck. Thursday night I made him sleep in a tent in my back yard on a too small air matress. (Told him I was remodeling the spare bed room). And Friday I hired you (Red Dragon Thorn) to keep him up all night. I must have not paid you enough since he got to sleep at 4:30am.

In Type 1 - 2 Player, there were actually 5 players with 15 points, so figuring out third place was rather fun. Unfortunately I ended up on the bottom of that pile and came in seventh... I hope to do as well at Natz. Tim and Gabe dominated all day, and the only real determining game was Tim V Gabe in round 5.

had Allen discarded Harvest Time instead of Plague of Frogs, he would have won

I "might" have won. He could have interrupted/negated it.

Oh well. At that point, I think I made the right move. There was no shortage of Lost Souls, but I kept the Shuffler in the back of my mind. I figured I didn't need Plauge of Frogs because I was already up 4-1 (I think.... It may have been 3-1) at that point.

Oh well. There was no way I could have known what would happen. I still feel I made the best choice at the time, Tim simply outplayed me.

Now, Gabe's game is a slightly different story... . That game I made a lot of poor choices/mistakes.

What is type S???

Hey,

Dominated might not be the right word. I think surviving might be better. Tim won four games 5-4 and three games 5-3.

Not only were my games all that close, I also had to tear plots in my last three games.

Tschow,
