I actually really really like this schedule. I can play all the categories I want to play.

I like the schedule too, I never have to play T2!

Friday: T1-2p and T2-2p
This is a bit rough because some people like to play both of these, but I like it because it pulls out many of the most experienced players into the T2-2p, and leaves the T1-2p more open to the newer players.

This is true, and a very hard decision for me. I do feel pulled to my Type 2 roots in this one. Type 1 players are granted fortune this day. The Type 2 field on the other hand, will face me in what I would say is my best year.

I feel pulled in T1/2 on friday but I'm going with T2 here. Clift you're a wild card, no one, including yourself, ever knows what you'll do.

My solution to that would be to have all your decks written down ahead of time, and then as soon as one category finishes for the day, spend some time in the evening preparing the deck you need for the next day.

That would be no problem, but if you have things in your T1 deck that go in your T2 deck, or vice versa, T1-2P & T2-2P are on the same day. I haven't been to Nationals, so I don't know how long the time is between two categories on the same day, but if it's short, would you have enough time to ensure that you've made a legal deck? That's what I was trying to say, just didn't know how to, quite, say... it.

Ah, Here's where the confusion is, You don't play all 7 categories at nationals, theres simply not enough time, T12P and T22P are run simultaneously on Friday, and you pick one or the other to play, same with the other sets of categories on Thur and Sat.

Yeah, Nationals in MN again finally! Does anyone know who is hosting though? Well I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it the last day depending on what time I leave for Scout Camp that day and as ProfAlstad mentioned Christine H.'s wedding that we are going to attend.

I'm presuming and almost certain it's Chris B.

Wow, and two jedi who were both just barely kindergarten when I first met them are both 13 when I meet them again at Nats 2011 --- you and Kurt H.

Boy, am I getting old!

Godbless all!

You presume correctly, although we will run Nationals by committee with myself, Matt B., Ben N., Justin A., Jordan A, and a heavenly host of volunteers making it happen. That's the nice thing about having Nationals in MN, we have lots of helping hands.

I was referring to Chris B., but that's okay I will plan against your deck because I know what you're playing somehow.(that's a joke)(maybe)

Okay, I'm gonna grumble here.

First: I don't know about you, but in the Northeast Teams is the LEAST popular category. But that may be different in MN.

Second: I complained about it last year, im gonna complain again. Booster on the first day is just silly. I know its a way to get people to make a further effort to get there the whole time, and I do totally understand that if it's definitely a new starter then having that on Saturday makes sense. I don't know, something still doesn't sit right with it...

It is. TEAMS is probably the second or third most popular event in MN, depending on how many T2 players are at a tournament.

Why is it silly? To be perfectly honest, having the second most popular category (nationally) on Saturday has always been a bad idea IMO...weekends in summer are always busy with weddings, family reunions, what have you, so I think it is better to have it earlier, since not as many people will likely be there on Saturday. Especially since it is likely that attendance will be skewed in favor of midwesterners who can more easily come the first two days even if they will be busy on Saturday. Personally I'm glad, because a very close friend of our family is getting married on Saturday, yet I still want to play Booster. This way I can!

Really? Didn't TEAMS basically start in the Northeast? I know New York Nats was the first non-official TEAMS tournament at a Nationals.

Type 2 Multi. All TN and GA players will pilot Sitc decks and hope to get paired up and team up on unsuspecting victims.
