As for the playmats, I am still trying to get a deal worked out with a printer to get more done. They will all likely be the same layout and art since I have not found a playmat printer willing to do multiple set-ups for a short run of printing like I am wanting to do. If you all have any connections in this realm, let me know...

Hey,
   It's 11 days later...what definition of "tomorrow" were you using?  Seriously, I need to know for multiple reasons. 
   1. I need to know so I can plan when to leave here...if I should pull my kid out of school a half day or wait until he's out at 2:10 PM (if games are at 7 PM, then my 7 hour distance will cut it close on the half day idea).  However, I need to know the schedule of categories and times to be able to do any of this.
   2. Someone requested to be my partner in TEAMS.  I need to know what TEAMS will run against before I commit.
   3.  I have friends in Cincinnati (who don't play Redemption) who would like to see me.  I need to plan visiting time too. 

In summation, I need to plan for this trip soon and a schedule would help me able to do that.  Thanks for your consideration.  :)

Speaking of start time, I would appreciate it if we could start at 8pm.  The extra time would not only help Jon, but also my group coming up after school lets out on Fri.

I have tried to accomodate everyone. The only thing is that I was not going to offer Sealed originally. That being said, I was thinking of running the other two Friday night events together instead of back to back. If that will be too much of a problem, then I will leave it as is and go with it. Also, I am really excited about having the Type-A Iron Man event. I think it could really be a good event and everyone will walk away with cards that will help their decks get better.

Don't forget to pre-register if you want to be in the pre-registration drawing...

I like the schedule, but you might want to switch the word teams with t1 multi in phase 3. You made a typo.

It all looks great to me (except the typo correction already mentioned).  I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone :)

Any thoughts on dropping Sealed and running Friday night's categories concurrently rather than back-to-back?

I wouldn't mind. I hate Sealed and Teams anyway so my decision would be made.

I really like the idea of running TEAMS and T2-2p concurrently.  What about then having Sealed run after both of those are over as a Super Late Night option for the few people who are planning on staying up all night anyway?  That is pretty much what they did at TN State this year, and it seemed to work well.

I was so excited to come to this that I thought it was this weekend.  When reviewing the bulletin, I realized that I have to wait another week.   :(  Oh well, I guess I have one more week to test decks.  I can't wait to see you guys!

On a related note, is the $5 a one time charge or per category?  (Trying to figure out the total cost.)  Also, since Type A is semi-unofficial, does that grant a Goliath card (actually all of the Regional Promos)?

I will have to ask Rob that question about Type-A. I was not planning on charging for it so I would say it does not give the promos. As for the $5 fee, it is per category. Let me know if you have any other questions.

A general reminder to anyone considering attending the MW Regional this coming weekend...please pre-register via a PM using the template I posted on the opening post of this thread. That way I will get a copy in my personal e-mail and that way you can be in the drawing for cool pre-registration only prizes.

Can someone give me a phone number to call if I were to get lost? I will have a GPS, but better to be safe. Thanks!
