Sorry for the delay guys...I should have the schedule up by tonight.

Yay! Bad news: I won't be bringing as many people as I had hoped. Still trying, but it looks like four.

noooooooooooooooooooooo....fine....I'll deal with it. Rob is going to think I'm a liar though (I guessed at 20 attendees, your group being half).

Now for the schedule (though a little later than promised):
* I plan to keep the pairings unless the number of people is small to run "back-to-back."

Friday night: 7- 8 PM Deck check-in
8 PM TEAMS 8 PM T2 Multi

Sat. Morning: 9 - 10 AM Deck check-in (and breakfast provided)
10 AM T2 2P 10 AM Booster Draft
2 PM T1 2P
7 PM T1 Multi

* I am flexible with this schedule, so I can let the players decide the day of what they would like to do.
However, my reasoning is that Friday night is typically the lowest attended night, so I scheduled 2 unpopular categories.
Saturday morning has booster first, so that people can put cool cards in their deck for the afternoon T1 2P category.

I hope to see you guys here!

Can we run T1 multi against Booster instead of t2?

If I am able to come (which, odds are improving that I will be able to get there for at least Saturday, hopefully all of it) I would really love to play t2 and booster. Begging done.

I would love to have you come up Alex! To encourage you to come, I would be willing to make the switch. Thanks for the input!

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #30 on:** April 22, 2011, 11:53:06 PM »

And, in a twist of fate, about 12 hours later, I have discovered I can not come up. Sorry! You should keep the old schedule probably now

SomeKittens · « **Reply #31 on:** April 22, 2011, 11:57:20 PM »

Make sure to put all the fun stuff against MP so I can actually win a category.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #32 on:** April 29, 2011, 09:21:57 PM »

*evil double post*

For Saturday morning, can we have a T1 category? I just looked it over, and us poor college students won't be able to afford T2 or Booster....

How much is the tourney with booster draft?

CJSports · « **Reply #34 on:** May 03, 2011, 03:56:09 PM »

May 21st wouldn't be good seeing as NE regionals is then.

robm · « **Reply #35 on:** May 03, 2011, 10:58:38 PM »

My daughter and I are looking forward to it, I'm guessing me more so.

Are you giving me the wrong dates to keep me from coming.

NE Regionals is on Memorial Day (May 27-28). My tournament is this Friday.

@ Randall, I really need T1 to stay at 2 PM because my son has a ball game that morning and he is REALLY EXCITED to play in his first Redemption tournament. I can switch T1 Multi with Booster if the crowd would prefer.

Tom Bombadil · « **Reply #37 on:** May 04, 2011, 12:10:16 AM »

I am just curious but is there any way to switch T2 Multi to the last thing? Because unless someone in my car plays that, we are doing my dad's birthday that night and I was kinda hoping to make it for part of it, but I understand if it is too late to switch..

SomeKittens · « **Reply #38 on:** May 04, 2011, 03:19:12 AM »

T1 2p or MP, doesn't matter. That's great to hear your son's attending!

soul seeker · « **Reply #39 on:** May 05, 2011, 12:55:23 PM »

My wife wants to know how many of you guys are expecting dinner Friday night. Right now, we are just planning on snack food (chips and cookies<--because coming to NY State at my place already puts you on the dark side

).

SomeKittens · « **Reply #40 on:** May 05, 2011, 03:27:41 PM »

*sigh* more have dropped, looks like three for us....

crustpope · « **Reply #41 on:** May 05, 2011, 03:30:41 PM »

grrrrrr. I am so wishing I could go. but I have a TON of work to do both housework and job work.

robm · « **Reply #42 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:23:12 PM »

Would your wife or someone else, be willing/ able to watch my daughter during the tourney? It will just be me and her coming unless I can convice one of my friends to come.

We will just be coming saturday, and will hopefully stay for the first two events that day, maybe the last if she is still a happy baby by then.

God Bless,
Rob

soul seeker · « **Reply #43 on:** May 06, 2011, 12:11:16 AM »

Laurie will be in and out on Saturday because my two sons have two games at two different times. I thought about putting games near our nursery depending on how mobile your daughter is. I have been trying to line up baby sitting on Saturday and I have had my TOP 5 babysitters not be able to watch. I will keep looking for both of us.

robm · « **Reply #44 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:18:27 AM »

She is just about running around now. lol. Are there cribs in the nursery for her to nap in?

soul seeker · « **Reply #45 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:02:10 AM »

There are.

What once was shaping up to be a big tournament dwindled to a mild one (people did have good reasons though).

We had 9 in attendance including my son's debut.
There were only 6 of us the first night, so we ran TEAMS and T2 Multi back to back.
3 Teams had 3 different strategies. We were able to play round robin to determine ranking order.
1. Luke and Al
2. Jonathan and Aaron
3. Randall and Alec

T2 Multi-player: This event had four players battle for 3 spots. As it turns out everyone placed because of ties.
1. Jonathan
2. Aaron
3. Alec & Luke

The next morning matched Booster draft against T2 2 player.
Booster:
1. Alec
2. Al
3. Luke

T2 2 Player: This was a rematch of an earlier District up at Roberts Wesleyan
1. Jonathan
2. Rob
3. Aaron

That afternoon T1 2Player matched off against T1 Multi. My son was excited to join after his baseball game. He didn't place, but he had a great time and a good learning experience. Anyway results of the final categories...
T1 2 Player:
1. Jonathan
2. Aaron
3. Luke

T1 Multi:
1. Randall
2. Rob
3. Al and Alec

I hope those who did make it had a great time.

"Down w/ multiplayer! It brings out my ugly side; I apologize to all who ~~has~~ have had to play me in multi"

fixed for you.

Multi is fun. its like swimming in a shark tank..he he he...except you have guns!

SomeKittens · « **Reply #48 on:** May 14, 2011, 11:58:47 PM »

Please don't encourage him. His dislike of Multi is the only reason I ever win anything.

QFT

also the fact that he didn't play in booster that is the only reason i got first.
