Rochester NY 2011 Tournament Season

Hey all my fellow New Yorkers, especially those upstate!

Thus begins the time to think about having tournaments so we can have some fun fellowship, get those new promos, and test out our new strategies!
I would also like to welcome somekittens into the area for this season! So this is were you guys come in and give your input on what weekends will work best for you guys to have/attend tournaments, and I would love to see Redemption spread into Robert Wesleyan college.

Rochester Tournament Schedule 2010-2011

September-

Something may or may not happen, depends on our schedule at home.

October- I am think about a local tournament for the weekend of the 15/16. If any of you know this is good for you now I will try to send in for an official, if not it may become an impromtu tourney. Also I know Soulseeker was considering hosting in october so I dont want to get in the way of that if you wanted that weekend, so just let me know.

November- I would like to have at least a district tournament in november, the only weekend I can't right now is the first one. If it works out I would like to have a local as well or go to one somewhere (Roberts?)

December- may or may not do any redemption this month, due to the weather traveling to tournaments may not work out for some.

Well any ways these are my thoughts. Let me know what you guys are thinking.

God Bless!
RobM

Oh and I do have disciples pack that I may be willing to trade or sell when people come to my tournies.

Sounds great! I will send in for a local event for Oct 15 and 16th. The events will be t1-2 player, t2-2player, t1-multiplayer, and sealed deck. We could do other ones such as teams or booster (which I cannot supply). Just let me know what you guys think. Since sealed isn't not usually popular outside our group i would probably run that on friday night and the rest of the events on saturday, like usual.

Would would you guys prefer booster packs or redemption cash?

If someone could get back to me tonight before I seal the application that would be great!

Hey Rob,
Barring any emergencies, I should be there on Saturday, Oct. 16th. (I think my classes end the day before.)

Also, I'm checking with the youth tonight about having a tournament Thanksgiving weekend. Do you guys think you will be free that weekend...I know it's a pretty big shopping weekend. Let me know because that is what I'm leaning towards. (Maybe the first weekend in December is an option too.)

robm · « **Reply #54 on:** October 01, 2010, 05:08:57 PM »

we look forward to seeing you on the 16th.

Either weekend should be fine, go with what is best for your youth and I will try to come.

Oh why is our State that big.......to difficult to hold a tourney in one spot......

Anyway, it will be a fun-filled weekend for New York State!!!

Godbless!

Oct 15/16 Local Schedule

Friday Night: Sealed Deck

Saturday
Phase 1: t1-2player

Lunch

Phase 2: t1-Multiplayer

Phase 3: t2-2player

Hey all just hoping I could get a final head count for saturday so I can decide whether to play round robin or swiss. Anticipating 6 or 7 players I am leaning toward swiss and playing 3 rounds for the two player events and 2 rounds for multiplayer. Again, just let me know if you can make it and if anyone else is coming with you.

ORS1949 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 10, 2010, 10:34:35 PM »

Rob,

I'll be picking up Somekittens (Randall) at school and be at your house by 10 AM !

Al

SomeKittens · « **Reply #58 on:** October 10, 2010, 10:41:39 PM »

I'll be coming, and might be bringing a friend (if Al's got room)

soul seeker · « **Reply #59 on:** October 11, 2010, 12:10:29 AM »

I'll be there, but I won't promise to be any good...most likely I will be building all my decks the night before. I'm heading up to just have some fun between sets of classes. It's been a looooonnnnggggg eight weeks. It is highly likely that I will be all alone. The one person who could possibly go told me this past Wednesday that they got scheduled to work. I'm sorry I'm not helping with numbers at any of your tournaments.

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #60 on:** October 11, 2010, 03:00:21 PM »

It will be an inspiring weekend for NY State, both north and south!

Godbless!

robm · « **Reply #61 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:17:13 PM »

Sounds good guys looks like we will have at least 6! Eight if I can get the two guys in my area both here! So regardless it will be my biggest New York tournament Yet! We will play round robin with this turnout then. I might have to breakout my other table!

Remember $10 will cover all open events and lunch should be provided along with some chips and pretzel for snacks.

Looking forward to see you all for some fun redemption!

Jonathan, maybe I'll have a chance at beating you then since I've had my decks together since a few weeks after nationals.

Its exciting to know that Redemption will be played throughout the state this weekend!

ORS1949 · « **Reply #62 on:** October 14, 2010, 07:59:18 PM »

I now have a car full coming !!! Randall has 3 more college mates coming with us ! Get the other table set up !!

Al

soul seeker · « **Reply #63 on:** October 14, 2010, 08:10:21 PM »

Just to be sure: start time is 10 AM right? I plan to leave my place by 8 AM to allow plenty of time to get there.

robm · « **Reply #64 on:** October 14, 2010, 10:12:14 PM »

Hey all! Looks like we will be cram packed! Sounds like the total will be 8 or 9 now.

Yes we will be starting at 10am with t1-2player. Make sure you guys have your decks ready to check so we can get a quick start.

Rounds amounts should be the same even with the amount of players, we might go to four for t1 2 player.

Looks like I will have a lot of cleaning a rearranging to do for saturday!

God Bless and looking forward to seeing you all. I'm glad I anticipated enough promos for everyone! It will be the new local promo. Texp for the winners.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #65 on:** October 15, 2010, 01:31:56 AM »

The million dollar question: Pithom or Schobach?

robm · « **Reply #66 on:** October 15, 2010, 08:43:57 PM »

And the answer is : Pithom.

Make sure you all bring $10 to cover the entry fee and the lunch that will be provided. We will be having sandwiches, chips, cookies and soda for lunch.

God Bless and see you guys soon.

It was a fun tournament indeed, I may have lost every game except for the one, but it was a fun way to start competing in tournaments

robm · « **Reply #70 on:** October 18, 2010, 03:55:01 PM »

Glad you could make it and had a good time! We will definitely have another in the near future!

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #71 on:** October 18, 2010, 06:08:26 PM »

Rob, I need a PM for new name info to be added to the NY player list, please. Thanks and Godbless.

soul seeker · « **Reply #72 on:** October 19, 2010, 03:29:35 PM »

Hey Rob,
I have already forgotten which promo we agreed that I would sign up for. Wasn't it Capture Ark? You were signing up for Chaldeans right? Let me know. For the college guys benefit, I am going to sign up for Saturday, December 4th.

robm · « **Reply #73 on:** October 20, 2010, 04:12:15 PM »

Yep. Your Right. You Capture Ark. Me Chaldeans.

Any input on when you guys want to have another district for this promo?

soul seeker · « **Reply #74 on:** November 23, 2010, 12:00:46 PM »

Well, this is not exactly in Rochester, but it is pretty close.
The tournament on Saturday Dec 4th will follow the tentative schedule. (# of players will naturally adjust it some.)

9-9:30 AM players arrive, check-in decks, socialize, and get settled.
9:45 AM pairings start for T1 2 Player

10 AM T1 2 Player officially begins (4 rounds of 45 minutes are likely)

12:30ish Lunch will be between rounds around this time.

2 PM Booster Draft is set to begin Type 2 2-Player is the alternative

5 PM T1 Multi is set to begin Type 2 Multi is the alternative

$25 covers Open categories, Booster Draft, Lunch, and pop
* I will give discounts to those who do not want their Captured Arks.

I hope to see a lot of you on the 4th!
