Whoa, why no Booster?
-
Whoa, why no Booster?
I believe it is because there will be booster at MD states, and there hasn't been any sealed in our group all year.
-
Because they're doing booster at MD states and there's been no sealed all year down here. And it's nice for the newer players that come from Creation.

It just might be, you might be on to something there.
-
Told the Hanover/E-town groupies. My own summer plans are very uncertain, but as of right now I should be able to make it down.
-
Chronic, I believe the reason there's no Booster is because they'll be having it at MD states. Also, because there's no sealed down here.

I find this hard to believe. I'm going to need confirmation from Rob on this one.
-
I'll be able to make it! When we get closer to the date I will ask the playergroup who is riding along with me.
Chris I think sealed at PA states will be a warm up to next season when they introduce the "unofficial" new starter decks!

Call an elder on this and I will disqualify you from ALL the categories. EVEN THE ONES YOU DON'T PLAY.
;D

That reminds me, I plan on playing in both T12P and T22P simultaneously. Please plan accordingly.
-
yeah might have to do the same thing since they won't reset t12p vs multi
-
No, we won't. Our part of the region has done it this way always, it makes people have to choose one to specialize in and makes it fair for everyone. :)
-
well then me and chronic will either have to boycott or play 2 people at once hope that's ok
-
He was being sarcastic.
Anyway, question for all potential attendees: I know some of you really dislike multi. Would you rather Brad and I have the multi categories, then sealed (as it's listed above) or would you rather us do sealed, then the multi categories so you guys that don't like multi can head home earlier? Thoughts?
-
I'll play multi but I probably won't play Sealed, so I'd prefer it go Multi first.
-
fine guess its t2 day for me the t1 deck can just rot for all i care
-
I'm cool with the current schedule. I'm not sure if I'll play sealed, but I know I'll play multi. I also know I'll stay for the whole thing anyway 8)
-
okay everyone...I'm sorry but this maybe a dumb question....since I've only been to one event...what's a sealed deck?
-
im in the same boat with dermo
-

Each person is randomly assigned either a G or an H deck, and choose 3 foil booster packs, and make decks out of those. (you can also trade cards from your starter and booster packs with the person you will play first, who will have gotten the deck opposite the one you got.)
-
I have never done a sealed before, but it sounds like a lot of fun and will be a great end to the G/H decks!
-
I love sealed. A lot. So much that I'll get to actually play at PA states cause Brad's judging sealed deck. And this makes me incredibly happy! :)

If Brad wanted to play Sealed, I could probably stick around and judge it.
-
It's not for 3 months, we'll figure it out :)
-
i have to admit i am a little disappointed . . . i have not been to a tournament before and was really looking forward to trying a booster draft. However the sealed sounds like it may be interesting just not as interesting as a booster draft.
-
I'm sorry. MD states and PA states overlap with a lot of their participants and those who don't overlap are usually from Creation Fest, who are first-time players that would benefit from sealed deck.

Echo Marti's sentiment on this one. If you want Booster, come on down to MD States, but I feel strongly that more Sealed should be played to encourage new players to join, we just don't have as much interest in these parts. Happy she's running it :)
-
Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend the state tourney. My wife will be veeeeeery pregnant since she's due at the end of July. But I do have a question. What is a sealed deck tournament?
-
But I do have a question. What is a sealed deck tournament?
Sorry to hear you can't come down, but essentially on the second part:
You sit across from your opponent with 3 booster packs of your choice (sometimes limited based on what out-of-print stock is there) and each of you is randomly assigned a starter deck (either G or H, I don't think we'll be using E/F). You use your starter decks and your booster cards to make a deck, and you can trade cards with the opponent you are paired with. Then you have T1 duels in a Swiss tournament for the win! :)
-
maybe this is nuts but what about making an optional booster draft after sealed for a certain extended price this would give new players another chance to try a booster get more cards and gain more experience
-

There really isn't enough time to do it, unfortunately. Three phases like this take all day, and there would not be the time to have another phase.
-
i understand that it would take all day but not everyone has to stay however judging from how many people on the forum and such at 2am im not sure that everyone would feel the need to bail after 2 phases it could be just an option . . . however if the host isnt interested in staying the question is mute lol
-
Last year we had 33 people at PA states, and we went until 8 or so. If I have anything over 20 people, there will be no time for it.
-
alrighty thanks ;D
-
Well, I prefer booster but at least it gives me one more shot to find an extra gifts.

Do you mean Gifts of the Magi?? Wrong starter deck.
-
Yes and my bad :-[
-
Just didn't want you to be dissapointed tourney day.
-
Could we not have an official booster draft go on in the afternoon for those who do not wish to play the multi player games? I know I have very little experience in multi player so I don't have a deck set up for it so I would be interested in playing booster draft with a few people even if it wasn't for prizes. Everyone could bring a set of cards for it and then we just shuffle them up and pick a random tin.
-
This hasn't been updated in a while. Bump for players to remember to request off work and save a spot on the calender for this tournament!

Well at this point I don't think any categories can be added as "Official Categories" due to the prize support likely already being sent out from Cactus. As for adding an Unofficial Booster Draft I will leave that up to the Host's.
-
I don't think people will want to play booster "unofficially." The tournament is already going to take up a lot of time, and the majority of players in T1 will play multi just because its included in registration where as booster costs a little extra. But as previously said it's up to the hostess Marti.
"EVERYBODY DO THE MARTI!" :D

I meant that as unofficial thanks for nabbing my mistake lol. Did not notice that at all until now.

So, I saw that EC regionals is the same day as PA states, and I know several of you were considering going down there because of NE regionals being so far away. I would like to start getting a head count soon, so I can start figuring out food and stuff.
Thanks guys!
-
Ok, I need to start getting an idea of who's playing Sealed to ensure that I have enough booster packs. I know I'll have enough decks, so let me know if you are interested in playing.
-
Anyone? Need responses by the 4th if possible!
-
im still trying to come since i could not make md states right now id only be doing t2 2p and t2 mp as my categories. so hope this helps ill update if anything changes.
-

Bummer, I was hoping to have a few PA people come join us for the EC Regional that day (July 20th-21st). However, I hope you all have a great time at PA states. We'll just have to wait another month to see you guys at TN nats :)
-
Some of them may, which is totally fine. I just need numbers for my tourney. :)
-
god willing i can do both.
-
Looks like Blake and I should be there. Only something rather significant would stop us from going.
-
I should be coming along with 2 possible guests, I'm guessing probably two of us would be playing sealed.
-
I'll be there and will be playing sealed. I'm not sure about Jerome because he was talking to Chris about traveling to EC regionals.
-
I can reach harrisburg beyond that im stuck can anybody help me.
-
I'm currently hoping to make it to EC regionals, but if that does not work out, I'll be there. I can just plan on judging Sealed, so don't worry about that for me.
Matt, I got your PM but I'll just respond here. Unfortunately, if I do go to States, I'll be coming from Gettysburg, so Harrisburg would be entirely out of the way for me. Sorry.
-
ugh this is getting anybody from baltimore I SIMPLY NEED HELP GETTING TO THE RURAL SECTION PLEASE!!!!! WILL MEET IN HARRISBURG OR BALTIMORE LET ME KNOW ASAP.
-
I will not be able to attend - we've got my brother's Eagle Scout ceremony that day.
-

Am I missing anyone? I know I'll get some unexpected because of Creation, but I'm looking to see who my core will be. Can't wait to see you guys!
-
Subtract one from my guests, unfortunately I can't bring someone due to me being a young driver.
-
I'm bummed and I'll miss you guys this weekend but I just got confirmation that I'll be in Kentucky! On the bright side with me and Chris gone T1 is wide open so good luck guys.

YOU FORGOT ME! >:( I'll be playing T1 2P and Multi, but I won't have time to play Sealed.
-
We knew you had new employment (grats by the way) and were waiting to see if that would interfere :P. We would never forget you (on purpose). ;D
-
haha thanks Brad. I actually start my new job on the 23rd, and I requested off from my other two part time jobs to be there.
-
Gotcha. Yeah, sorry Chad. We both knew you'd gotten a new job, so we weren't sure! Glad you're gonna be able to make it!
-
I'll be there. Also might be bringing an old member back to his first ever tournament (Marti knows who it is) lol
-
I do?
-
Goatwithhorn (Brad Dembo)? Masuhda? (I don't remember his screenname), *tries to rack his brain for PA players from the Mike B. era....*
-
Here's a hint: Marti knows his sister! ;)
-
.... I do?
-
Are you sure about his "first" tournament? or just his first for the season?
-
His first ever official tournament. Back when I first started we split a starter deck, and he's been rocking it ever since. Right now I'm giving it a heart transplant with some cards. Marti think back to creation a few years ago.....
-
Chad, I work with 150 teenagers weekly, and I can't remember half of their names. I have absolutely no idea who you're talking about. :P
-
Would the name Eric Hartman ring a bell? You've depressed him.
-
...
*facepalm*
-
HAHAHAHAHA EPIC FAIL
-
Wow Hartman returns or just Hartman back for one tournament?
-
Yea that one surprised me :o
-
more than likely his first and only tournament. He keeps beating my deck, so we'll see how it does. Haven't changed it in two years. lol
-
And proud of it ya'll!
-

Agreed, and also want to make it clear that I'm not sure I should have won the category. More to come later.
