Blessings all.

We are officially RE-SCHEDULING the back-to-back events to November 16th & 17th.  Many many thanks to Jordan G's 100% confirmation.

Cactus has already updated the dates on its website.

Please kindly help get in touch with those who do not get the E-mail blasts and encourage them to join in.

UPDATE ----- We are planning to switch timing between the two District phases on Saturday.  Please let me know if this poses a problem.

Peace and blessings!!!

Roy

Peace and blessings, Redemption® North East and beyond!

*************************************
NEWS FLASH!!!  We are definitely giving away at least State-sized prize support for the Local tourney and at least Regional-sized prize support for the District tourney!!!
*************************************

Our great venue host, Jordan G., has formally approved us to make Rebirth the official venue!  We will soon submit the tourney apps to Cactus!

PLANNED EVENT DATES: Local (Friday 02 Nov -- we need input on how many can attend if we begin after lunch) + District (Saturday 03 Nov, Booster Draft starts 10:30am, Open Deck checks begin at 10am)
OFFICIAL VENUE: ReBirth Christian Store 

PROPOSED FRIDAY EVENTS & FEES (Local Tournament, may begin after lunch depending on poll results):
ONE PHASE ONLY:  Type 1 2-Player = $3 OR Type 2 2-Player = $3
OR
PHASE 1:  Type 1 2-Player = $3
PHASE 2:  Type 2 2-Player = $3

PROPOSED SATURDAY EVENTS & FEES (District Tournament, begins at 10am):
PHASE 1:  Traditional Booster Draft  = $15 (Unlimited, Prophets, Apostles, Patriarchs, Kings, Angel Wars, Priestsx2, TxP, Disciples)
PHASE 2:  Type 1 2-Player = $5 OR Type 2 2-Player  = $5

*** Experience clearly shows that just the two phases above already take up most of the day.  We suggest only such events, although we have options below.  We must be out of the store by 7:45pm with everything cleaned up and packed.

OPTIONS:
Type 1 Multiplayer = $5
Teams = $6/team (one payment only for the team)
Sealed Deck MULTIPLAYER Special = FREE for those paying/playing at least 2 open events between Friday and Saturday (Sealed Deck + T1 Multi-Player rules apply --- trading may be done with any player within the 1st grouping only)

********************************
USEFUL INFO:
1.  What is "Redemption® for Micah"?: Redemption® for Micah Fundraiser Event



2.  The Long Island event for Micah is especially for those who will not be able to travel to the "Annual Redemption® for Micah Fundraiser" main event in Ohio.  You can still do your share in helping out.   We will definitely be doing a FREE Sealed Deck Event as one of the categories for those paying/playing at least TWO open events, if there is enough demand.

50% of open category events as well as all pizza sales will go to Micah's HEALTH FUND.

3.  Factor into your plans the possibility that you may want to sleep over.  The Villanovas have once more opened their home for floor crashers but space is limited, and so please make sure to let us know ahead of time by sending me an E-mail or a PM.  Please kindly make sure that you are hygiene-conscious, b.o. strictly banned.  Bring your own toiletries and bath towel.  Your own sleeping bags are welcome (only if you can).

4.  MUST:
a.  Sleeves for decks (open or sealed/closed categories)
b.  Lost Souls for Booster Draft and Sealed Deck

5.  Lunch Special Option:  $1 per pizza slice (donations for Micah over $1 gladly accepted)



Godbless, ALL!

Need more inputs now that we have an official venue!  Cactus should receive tourney applications in less than two weeks.  See detailed plans in the initial post.

If Redemption for Micah HQ in OH indeed still has overflowing prize support, perhaps Long Island could beg for some supply to append its own prize support.  We are also aiming towards Nats-sized prize support value.

Peace and blessings.

Peace and blessings.

Please kindly let this E-mail be the last reminder for those who haven't been informed yet or those who have not yet RSVP'd.

Godwilling, weather forecast predicts cloudy for the 2nd and perfect for the 3rd.

Hope to see you at the Micah fund raising events!

Hey everyone. I thought people should be aware of that storm coming in because New Jersey/New York might be the center of it. So power outages and stuff like that might get in the way of this. I obviously can't make executive descisions but it's just a warning to those people coming from farther out places. Hopefully everything runs smoothly.

To those attending the District Tourney,  we are planning to switch timing between the two phases.  Please let me know if this poses a problem for you.  The point for this is for those who wish to make it for sure for Booster Draft and can't make it to the tourney on time in the morning.  Moreover, doing T1/T2 2P phase enables morning latecomers to still join in even if they miss a couple of rounds (we can't obviously do this in Booster Draft).

Please let us know if there is any opposition to the plan.

Thanks and Godbless.
