Welcome to the Rochester NY tournament Thread!
:)
:)
-
i would LOVE to come but valentine's weekend is a bad one for me. I have a Purity Promise on the 13th, and time with my wife on the 14th before an upcoming busy week. Thanks for the update though...I will continue to watch for more. I'm hoping to host a tourney sometime in late march or early april once I know when Spring Fling is.
-
Cool, let me know when you have one.
Our's may or may not happen this weekend.
-
Post more details for it ! I will most likely be able to come on Saturday over Sunday !

All our prayers for your tourney from the Long Island group, Rob!!! Hugs to Mrs. Mulye for us, okay? God bless NY for the back-to-back tourneys in one day. My dream is that one day there will be 5 simultaneous NY tourneys in a day that covers all players form various parts of the State.
Godbless!!!
-
thanks! That would be cool if there were 5 at once.
God Bless
-
are there even 5 hosts? if we all host the same day then we may hurt each other's tournaments. ;)
Like I said earlier, Rob, I would love to come, but 2 youth events and a date with my wife prevents it. I'm a little bummed but hopefully next time.
I'm hoping to have a tournament around late March/Early April so keep your eyes peeled.
-
Next time we will plan things out a little more in advance.
However having a new born, it was nice to be able to host on spur of the moment.
God Bless!
-
Rob,
PM sent !
And yes there are 5 of us !!! Rob actually makes #5, there is me (al) you (jon) Kitty/Marc (cortland) and we can't forget ROY out on the Island !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although we (rob, me and you ) would be drawing from the same group as we all live within
2 hours of each other !

I must say I can't wait to play in another tournament. New York we need to plan out some events. I know Jonathan is hoping to host in the next month or two. I would like to host another local or district in the next couple of months as well.
Any ideas for which weekends?
-
hey all,
I would like to host another local or a district in april or may. Any thoughts on when a good date would be for people?
I was thinking about Friday april 30th and saturday may 1st?
If so, events would include sealed deck, t1-2 player, t2-2player, and t-1 multiplayer, and maybe teams
-
Hey NY,
Just wanted to update everyone on a possible district either the first or second weekend in May. If you are interested let me know so I can put in for it.
-
Hey Rob,
My suggestion is the first weekend to be sure not to overlap any state tournaments. Especially, the one in Pitts. I will go to a state tourney over a district any day, but I do want to go to your tourney too which is why i suggested it. ;)
-
Ok let me check with my wife and I will try to send in for it the first weekend in May, unless your going to attend CT states with I think is that weekend.
*Edit* The first weekend in May is only 5 weeks away now, so I think I will have to go with the second weekend May 7 and 8. Then you can still make it to PA states the weekend after that.
-
ok, I didn't realize the 7/8th was the second weekend. As long as Marc doesn't put NY states on that date then you are right...we are good to go!
I'll spread the word at my local this Good Friday about your tourney.
-
I thought Mark was leaning toward the 11/12 of June for states? If he does make it may 7/8 then I would need to postpone my tournament
*edit* I still have to confirm with my wife if this is a good date for the tournament.
-
It is a negative on the may district as I have made plans to attend CT states and PA states, as well as hopefully regional. With a new baby I can't take that weekend away from our time as a family.
However I will try to put in a district for june or july after NY states has been make official.
Sorry.
-
Possible tournament June 18 and 19.
See details on first post...
I will send in for this on monday if there is any interest, and if you tell me what events you would want to play.

Hey,
I've ran into a snag for Saturday. The Trustees just assigned a church work day then (8 to noon) and the youth are to paint some benches. I need to see if I can get another adult leader to cover me. If not, then I'm going to struggle to make it to your tourney. I'll keep you informed. With you being just outside of Rochester, I should be able to bring some of my crew. The problem is going to be this newly formed church work day. I'll see what I can do.
On the outside chance I can't get out of the workday. Would you mind swapping a category with the Friday night one? If not, then I understand. Also, out of curiosity, which district promo is it?
Sorry for the newly formed headache, but this was decided at last night's trustees meeting (of which i have no say.) :-[
-
hey jonathan,
The Promo is Self.
Which events would you want switched? Would you just come to that one on friday in that case, if you cannot get out of the work day?
We could also probably send your favorite event to phase 3 on saturday if you can only make it for one.
The biggest complication is our 5 month old, and laine or I either sitting out of an event and judging or playing round robin with possible pauses if there is an odd number. My hope is to get to t1 multi around the time she needs a nap but I will sit out of everything but that event if needed.
Also my friend Dan, will not have played t2 yet so if he wanted to leave early on sat I put that one last.
Anyhow, just let me know what would be best for you.
Al or anyone else going to make it?
-
Rob,
Sorry, I won't be able to make either day as I have been scheduled to work Saturday and
Sunday that weekend. Just a thought! What if you postponed one week and maybe myself and Jonathan can make it then.
Al
-
Sorry. Wish i could but I can't because then my friend won't be able to make it, he is going to be out of town that following weekend. Sorry! Hope you guys can make it the next time we have one.
In Christ,
Rob M
-
Hey Rob,
I can't get out of it...I would ask that you switched sealed and Type 1 2 player.
Also, I ask to leave Type 2 2 player at it's original time.
My preference is that I drive up Friday afternoon (I'm assuming 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on what side of Rochester you're on--i need to input your address into my GPS) and play Type 1 2 player.
I drive home late that evening.
I lead the youth in painting the pavilion at the church workday (8 to noon)
I leave around 12:30 (giving myself 2 hours again) to show up on time for the 2:30 PM Type 2, 2 player tourney.
Ideally, that is my hope, but do what's best for your baby. I can play t1 Multi...I'm just not a fan of it.
-
That should be fine with us. We can Start t2 2 player round robin style to give you more time to get there and so Laine and I have a chance to sit out rounds to take care of our baby.
Friday night may be a little crazy just to forwarn you, cuz naomi will need to go to bed in the middle of the tourney. We will try to plan accordingly, if need be laine and I could delay our match up, or play it ahead of time.
-
Jonathan,
I will be getting subs on friday for everyone from wegmans, what kind do you like and what toppings, etc. It is free as part of our hosting!
See ya soon
Rob M
-
I'm pretty basic: Wheat bread, Turkey, tomatoes, lettuce (if it's not brown :P), pickles, mayo
-
Cool we will have that for you when you arrive on Friday! See you then.
P.S. Anyway I could get a ride with you to Midwest regionals? and Split the gas costs.
-
is it just you or Laine too?
-
is it just you or Laine too?
It would just be me.
-
it shouldn't be a problem: my durango holds 7
me, wife, baby girl, aaron, his gf, and you makes 6...car topper for luggage.
As for your tourney, it will be just me Friday night. Aaron has to work, and the rest of my playgroup is going to another church's youth event; and Saturday they are watching Toy Story 3 after we paint benches.
-
Cool. Will we be staying for all the events at midwest regionals?
As for my tourney, your just coming tommorrow then? My number is 315-345-3370 if you need any directions. Our apartment is the first floor of a blue house. Entrance is in front, come in the front door and apartment A is on the right.
-
Saturday is a bit up in the air but i hope to make it because I could use the district points in T2 and I can't get them if I don't attempt for them. I should know for sure when I"m there Friday.
Thanks for the number, I"m pretty confident in my GPS, but it's always nice to have a backup plan as you know. There's plenty of parking right? I will talk with you tomorrow about midwest regionals...we may not stay for the last category because of the 7 hour trip and church the next day.
-
yep lots of parking in the back
see ya soon
-
I'm leaving my house now.

Canandaigua, NY--July 21-22, 2010
Local (Closed) Tournament. Host: Rob & Laine Mulye, robertmulye@yahoo.com. Mulye Residence, 350 N. Main St., Apt A, Canadaigua, NY 14424. $10.00 door fee covers all open deck categories.

Jonathan and Al, Let me know if either of you can make this. Which day is best for you and what events you are most interested, as two will probably be Friday and two on saturday. It may be sealed and t1 multi one day and then t1 2player and t2 2 player the other day.
Canandaigua, NY--July 30-31, 2010
District Tournament. Host: Rob & Laine Mulye, robertmulye@yahoo.com. Mulye Residence, 350 N. Main St., Apt A, Canadaigua, NY 14424. $10.00 door fee covers all open deck categories.

-
Actually, I'm on a mission trip during the district. (July 30-31)
I can make the local Thursday the 22nd. Wednesday is always busy for me because of youth.
So that is my status on those two events.
-
We will plan on the 2 player events for thursday of the local then! Panic Demon will be the promo.
-
Jonanthan,
Anyone else coming with you on thursday? If its just you, and maybe one more player, we will play round robin. I am hoping that we can finish around 8 or 8:30 depending on attendance. (If not a lot sooner if you wreck our decks) ;D
See you next thursday.
Schedule: Starts at 4:30 Type 1 2 Player
then t2 2 player
-
Thanks for the info Rob. Does the entry fee cover food and drinks again?
I should definitely have 1 person with me. I still need to check with Aaron (who you met at Regionals), but he typically works Thursdays.
-
Yeah, food and drinks covered as well!
What you would you guys like?
*edit* We will have Pizza and Chips! See you guys tommorrow.
I had a new player tonight, Jon, tie for second in T1-Multi player at his first ever tourney.

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.
-
Oct 16 th would be perfect for a Local ! Somekittens and I are corresponding and I could pick him up on the way to your house on that Saturday.
Al
-
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.)
-
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.
-
Rob,
I'll be picking up Somekittens (Randall) at school and be at your house by 10 AM !
Al
-
I'll be coming, and might be bringing a friend (if Al's got room)
-
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. :-[
-
It will be an inspiring weekend for NY State, both north and south!
Godbless!
-
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!
-
I now have a car full coming !!! Randall has 3 more college mates coming with us ! Get the other table set up !!
Al
-
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.
-
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.
-
The million dollar question: Pithom or Schobach?
-
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.
-
Thanks for hosting a great Tourney !!! It was great to get the new Tourney season underway and seeing old as well as new faces !
Al
-
Yeah we Had a great turnout with 7 Players on saturday! Thanks again to everyone for coming out and making this our biggest local yet!

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
-
Glad you could make it and had a good time! We will definitely have another in the near future!
-
Rob, I need a PM for new name info to be added to the NY player list, please. Thanks and Godbless.
-
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.
-
Yep. Your Right. You Capture Ark. Me Chaldeans.
Any input on when you guys want to have another district for this promo?
-
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!
-
I'll be bringing at least myself and two more. Is there a discount for those who don't want to/can't afford booster?
-
Yes, the entry fee will be less if they choose not to play booster and play T2 instead.
-
For all that are traveling to my tourney...
Avoid going through Portville (which means don't take the Olean exits from I-86), it is in a state of emergency with a flooding river.
The Friendship exit is your friend! (I'm pretty sure it is exit 29 from I-86)
Hopefully, you guys up North aren't snowed in! Our roads are clear of snow and water if you approach our place from Friendship. Plus, my church is approximately 10-15 minutes from the Friendship exit. (Slow down for the speed zones...State Police watch them closely.)
-
What's the address of the church?
-
8137 Main St.
Little Genesee, NY 14754
Considering where you guys are coming from...your GPS or chosen map/direction site should send you down I-390 to some connection highway *EDIT: if I'm reading my GPS right State Rd. 36 (it seems like it's Exit 6 off 390 past Danville) to I-86 (which picks up in Hornell) then you will head West (I'm pretty confident) and get to the Friendship Exit.
-
Hey Guys,
Hope the last tournament went well. Sorry we couldnt make it down. I got promoted to managment at my job so any tournmants that I do for a while will have to be on the spot locals. Hopefully we can get things going after the new year.
God Bless.
-
Bummer, no Chaldeans then? You promised. :P
Well, if you or Randall can't host a district between now and Spring then I will look into doing it. I'm going to wait until the weather and holidays clear though to give my playgroup another chance to make it out.
-

Well, if you or Randall can't host a district between now and Spring then I will look into doing it. I'm going to wait until the weather and holidays clear though to give my playgroup another chance to make it out.
I can put in for a district, when would be good for you?
-
Good question....the only date in February bad for (off the top of my head) is the weekend of the 30 hour famine. Other than that, I think I'm open. If you go beyond February, then I will have to look again.
-
Which weekend would that be?
-
I am pretty confident that it is Feb. 25-26.
Also, I highly prefer you avoid March 12th as well. Other then that, I should be able to work around your dates with enough notice.
-
How about the weekend before that, 18/19?
-
Sounds good to me...I'll double check on the church calendar tomorrow. If it is clear, then I'll keep it clear for the youth. I'll start really working on my playgroup, so I can increase tournament attendance.
-
That'd be great. I'll let you know as it develops.
-
I've only hosted one official tournament, which was a local. This being a district, I'm unsure if you'll have to co-host. Also, I'm doing the Chaldeans promo?
Food shouldn't be a problem, we've got our cafeteria right on campus, and all of us have guest passes that we never use.
We'll be doing T1-2P/MP, T2-2P/MP (Hopefully enough attendance to run them simultaneously) for sure. Would you rather have Booster Draft or Teams? A couple of my guys have been itching to do teams.
-
yeah, the Chaldeans promo would be a good one. I can help co-host if you would like. Go ahead and do what you guys would prefer (which is TEAMS). I will try and get a partner and 2 decks set for it once I get a date.
-
hey guys.
Glad to see you will be having a tourney in feburary. I won't know until probably that week if I will be able to make it, due to the new job position I dont have set hours.
God Bless
and hopefully we can make it.
-
Due to circumstances beyond my control, the 19th is no longer the best date. March 5 would be much better, would it be possible to move it?
-
March 5th is okay with me !
Al
-
As far as I can tell, I don't think I have anything going on the 5th.
-
Thanks guys. I'll let Rob know that I need to change the date.
-
Hey guys I will try to ask for that day off and will let you know soon. Glad to see your hosting Somekittens.
God Bless
-
Hey guys I will try to ask for that day off and will let you know soon. Glad to see your hosting Somekittens.
God Bless
We never allow kittens at our tournaments here in MN. Only monkeys, flying elephants and a hobbit or two...
;D
-
oh noes breaking news they banned koalas in minnesota
-
Hope you can make it Rob, good luck with your new job!
As to you in MN, we take Kittens, Irish, and the occasional NT female, but all are welcome!
-
Hey,
Just putting my name in the pool of available players for March 5th tourny at RWC. I live next door to RWC, went there and have family still attending/working there. So, hopefully me and a friend (if I can convince him). Glad you moved the date, because I was not available for the Feb. 19th date.
David Shewan
-
Have you been to a Redemption tournament before KingArv? Just curious if we've met before.
-
Glad to know we've got another player! We also host more informal tournaments, starting with a box draft next Saturday. (We've got a big communal box of cards, and play booster draft out of that. Cheaper, but all the cards go back in afterward.)
-
@SoulSeeker
Yes, years ago at the old Logos/Alpha & Omega store location in Greece, NY.
-
Hey, what is the schedule for the RWC tourny? Come to find out...I have RWCCO concert that day, which means a rehearsal 10-12:30. Disappointing, cause it probably means no chance of taking any part in Redemption that day.
-
There's only one event happening then, you can join us after lunch. I haven't decided which event yet.
-
Cool. If it helps you decide, I do not have a T2 deck...and my best event would definitely be T1 open. But i'd be in for multi or closed/booster draft, whatever the special category ends up being.

As of now, I've got:
Round 1: T1/2 Multi
Round 2: T1/2 2P
Round 3: Teams
I can switch around any of those. I'd like to start round 1 at 10:30, so if people could arrive at 10, that'd be great. (if that's too early, let me know).

What's the story on the T2 categories? I'm pretty sure you have those too. I don't have a Teams partner as of now, so I guess my preference would be to match up against that.
EDIT: Nevermind....I'm an idiot. I reread your post and there is no such thing as a Type one half. :doh: However, I would prefer if you slid the T2 2P to go against Teams otherwise I have to go hunt for a partner.
-
I was planning on having multi/2P for both T1 and T2 at the same time. This is totally in a state of flux, so suggestions are welcome. Will you be bringing any of your group?
-
1 has told me a definite yes (his girlfriend is out of town). Two others are a maybe, and I will try to get a confirmation from them tomorrow. If you keep the current schedule, then I will likely partner up with the "definite" yes. However, you have made my decision of what categories to play in tougher since I typically don't like multi-player. :P
-
I wanted to have an alternative to T2 so that the beginners here won't have a lull. Unless you could bring ~5 decks for everyone to share, my people will be playing T1.
Since the vast majority of T2 will be coming from outside, I'm kind of at a loss for where to put it.
How about:
T1 2P/T2 Multi
T2 2P/T1 Multi
TEAMS
Or pair a T2 event up with teams?
-
How about:
T1 2P/T2 Multi
T2 2P/T1 Multi
TEAMS
Probably better than...
Round 1: T1/2 Multi
Round 2: T1/2 2P
Round 3: Teams
BUT, is it possible to have the T1 2P in the afternoon? If it is ok with everyone else of course, I've got a narrow window--really just interested in T1 2P if I have a choice--about 12:30 to 6:30 because I've got a concert to play in at 7:30. Stinks for me, sorry to be difficult.
Perhaps:
T2 2P/T1 Multi
T1 2P (most people will want to join this?)
Teams/T2 Multi (later in the day where people can either leave or those who want to can stick around?)
David
P.S. where is this being held on RWC campus?
-
I'll see if I can accommodate that. We'll be having that at BT's, because no one is there until eight, and they have tables.
-
Three things:
One, I don't know what a "BT" is in regards to the campus...by the way, is visitors parking easy to find?
Two, I was suggesting moving one of the Type 2 categories (preferably the one going against T1 2 Player) to coincide with Teams. Ultimately, I will submit to your schedule because you know what's best with your time commitments and for your playgroup.
Three, I likely can build 5 T2 decks, but they will get worse as I build them (dominant, Lost souls, and battle winning cards-wise) and approx. 2 will be unsleeved.
As long as I know the final schedule a couple days before the event, and I should be good. Don't stress with my opinion though...I'm just happy to play (and to get a Chaldeans).
-
I don't think we'll need those T2, as long as we've got a T1 category at the same time.
Visitor parking is plentiful, and I'll get a map up soon.
This seems reasonable:
T2 2P/T1 Multi
T1 2P
Teams/T2 Multi
-
Hey guys I will be able to come from start till about 2:00pm. Looking forward to it. Where on campus is it and where do I park?
-
Big things!
1.) http://www.roberts.edu/campusmap/ (http://www.roberts.edu/campusmap/) Park either at Upper Rinker Community Parking or Voller Parking, and head toward Voller Athletic Center. I'll post signs/people from there in to BT's.
2.) Friday night we'll be having a TEAMS Sealed tournament. If anyone wants to show up for that, let me know, and I'll arrange a place for you to stay.
3.) I may not have enough promos! My playgroup has grown, which is great, but don't worry, I'll make sure anyone from off-campus gets one before those on campus.
4.) Somehow, Rob missed that we were doing TEAMS at this district, so I don't have Redemption Cash or a TxP card for that category. I'll provide it out-of-pocket, and try to make that up.
-
Hey,
What time do you want us there? 10 right? Any cards that people are looking for that I should bring, otherwise I will probably just bring my decks.
God Bless,
Rob M

I almost thought to add a bit about "SoulSeeker can fix these with his massive Mod powers"
-
cool. Here is my address for the redemption cash.
350 N Main St Apt A
Canandaigua NY 14424
Let me know when you guys are thinking about doing another tourney.
God Bless,
Rob M
-
Redemption cash sent.
-
thanks. got it yesterday.
God Bless,
Let me know if you have any more tournies this spring
-
so how you get second place without knowing the results of the tourney?
-
<--- Host. There were three players in his category.
Also:
All our prayers for your tourney from the Long Island group, Rob!!! Hugs to Mrs. Mulye for us, okay? God bless NY for the back-to-back tourneys in one day. My dream is that one day there will be 5 simultaneous NY tourneys in a day that covers all players form various parts of the State.
Godbless!!!
This summer, I'll be heading back to Oneonta, and reconnecting with my old playgroup (if they haven't all gone over to Magic yet...arg...) This may well be a possibility.
-
Well I don't want jinx anything but my playgroup seems to be a playgroup now, short of the first order I have to make, but I may try and host a tournament in May or June possibly, it would be a local and I would have to work out the details, but it might be a possibility.
-
Okay so I am hosting a local, hopefully it will be Saturday, October 8th and will consist of 3 categories, booster draft(with new tins), type 1 2 player, and type 1 multi, it will be the first tournament of my playgroup and I hope you guys can come, I need to know how many I can expect, I'm going to put down that I will be expecting up to 20, I know that is a bit high, but if any of you can make it, that would be awesome, the prizes will be priests packs, and the promo will probably be the panic demon promo. Hope you guys can make it.

Location of tournament?
-
$20 isn't high if you're including booster draft. I'll find out who can come from Roberts (and bring tins!).
-
Okay cool, and it is going to be at Lockport Alliance Church
555 Davison road
Lockport, NY, 14094
Hope to see you guys there
-
Big news:
I'm hosting an impromptu local in two weeks! Saturday, September 10th, at Roberts Wesleyan, we'll host a "welcome back" tournament. We'll only play T1-2P, but if I get enough support for other categories, that may change. Hopefully there'll be some new players, so be prepared to explain your A game.
-
Do you mean September 10th?
-
Yep, fixed. Sorry about that.
-
If I don't find a job at school, then sure I'll go. Anyone live in southern NY that I could hitch a ride with for part of the way there?
-
I'm in Southern New York, right in the twin tiers. I have a big church parking lot to park your car...what highway are you traveling up on?
-
I'll be coming up from route 15/390.
-
I will go to any tournament I can get a ride to!
-
what time are you starting at Randall?
-
We're looking at a 12 o clock deck check.
-
I will most likely be there! lol
-
Nice! We'll make sure you get lunch. Will you be bringing anyone else?
-
No because I'll be leaving from school in Williamsport. Just me, myself, and I! :)
-
Glad to have you anyway. Address is 2301 Westside Dr, pull into the parking lot with the flagpole, and park in a visitor space. Call me, we'll figure it out from there.
-
I may not make it. It's too much of a risk to drive up while this flooding is occurring here in PA.
-
Good luck. Hope you can make it, but if you can't, we understand.
-
Alright, just got the stuff in today for the tournament, we are all set for the tournament October 8th! Hope you guys can make it out!
-
Can you remind me when is deck check and the order of events? Me and my boys are planning on coming. 2 of my playgroup will come if their school doesn't have a track (cross country) meet. Another one is going to try and ask off work. So I have 3 for sure with the potential of 3 more.
-
Just a head count for the 1st, we'll be doing sealed TEAMS, is anyone interested?
@SoulSeeker, I know Booster is first for Luke's, unsure of the other two.
@Luke, so far Bret and I are confirmed.
-
Okay, I had had requests to make deck checks early so I planned deck checks at 9:00 A.M, If some people need to come on Friday I am sure we can probably arrange something. I was planning on running each category one at a time since we are only doing three. But if we need to double up we will work something out, but other than that the order is not yet been decided, the price will be $5.00 for general entrance and another $20.00 for booster draft. I hope to see you guys come, and also my group is both excited and nervous to meet you guys and play against you guys, but looking forward to it!
-
Luke, I will bring a second deck for when I play against your players. The defense of my main deck has been angering some of the people back here and you don't get to use your offense at all against me. I'm looking forward to see how your group is going though.
-
Im not confirming anything but Ill see if i can swing it. It would probably be good considering Im not the best at playing myself. How long are you thinking this will be going?
-
Hey Luke,
The Booster cost is too much for me and my boys to play Booster (and my boys are still a bit young yet to understand Booster). I would prefer that Booster to be either first or last. If it is in the middle, then my crew may be sitting around. Just my 2 cents.
Also, I thought about bringing a fun second deck for your playgroup...however, one typically has to pick a deck prior to knowing their opponent. I will continue to work on a deck that's not too intimidating.
-
Hey, who's in or close to the CT region that could give me a ride?
-
Luke I might be able to make it but might have to leave early to get back to Roberts (curse you soccer!!) So I would prefer booster draft be last as I don't have the money to swing that category at this time. This would also help SoulSeeker's group so they aren't sitting around doing nothing. I will try to borrow a deck that isn't mine for the tournament since I doubt any of your players would enjoy me coming in with Gardenciples. Randall or Brett if one of you could lend me something, even if just a modified starter, that would be helpful. Don't want to scare the n00bs off. (Though just a heads up SoulSeeker, I WILL be checking my normal deck in as well and if we play at any point I'll be using that one, so bring your A game deck as well ;) )
-
Hey, Ip670sv,
1. If I can get to you, can I hop a ride to the tournament?
2. If so, where exactly are you (town)?
Please reply soon either way, my deadline for getting the time off would be today (Saturday 9/24, in case it somehow doesn't mention it here.)
-
I live in Wyoming, NY which is about 45 minutes east of Buffalo. If you can get a ride out here or to a nearby city then I'd be happy to take you but if I'm understand what you said a few posts ago you're from Connecticut so I'm not much help.
I hate to say it but your best bet is probably Amtrak. It's expensive (80-100 bucks one way) but really the chances of someone being both willing and able to drive you all the way to the Buffalo area for a local are slim to none. You'd need a place to stay probably both nights (I may be able to provide if Luke can't) and overall you'd just spend way too much to get here for something as unimportant as a local. Anything lower then a state level tournament I really wouldn't bother coming that far for.
-
Yeah, looks like that won't work. Thanks anyway.
-
This Saturday, at Roberts, the Raiders will be hosting our second (un)official Sealed TEAMS tournament! We've got a lot of new players eager to learn the game, so if anyone wants to help teach our favorite game, that'd be great! Cost is $7 (includes three booster packs, food, and other goodies). Meet at 12 noon, PM if you need directions!
-
Just wanted to say that today Luke hosted a local with 17 attendees, which is more then we had turn out for NY State's last season. Great Job Luke, it was a lot of fun ;D

This is the biggest tournament we've had so far since I joined Western NY.
-
Thank you to everyone who came and supported our tournament. I was quite surprised at the turn out. I plan to host more tournaments in the future I hope you guys can attend future ones. I will post the results soon, thank to everyone for the support and despite some of the craziness I hope everyone had fun :)
-
Whaddya mean 'Despite'?
-
Well without some of the craziness of my part is what I meant by despite.
-
Looking for some feedback on date (not day and time). I'm right in front of the 6 week mark for tournament application, so I want to know if the following date is okay. It is the Sunday BEFORE Thanksgiving.
I am putting an application in for Sunday, November 20th at 2 PM for a local. It will be a couple of open categories (likely a T1 & T2 category) with a $5 entry fee. This time should allow everyone to make it to church and still travel down to our place.
The only negotiable factor is that I could move it forward to the 13th if the 20th interferes with Thanksgiving plans (which I doubt, but I thought I would be courteous). I avoided the 13th because of the tournament in Waynesburg, PA on the 12th.
Anyway, I'm talking to my group tonight about the desired Promo and then faxing the application in tomorrow. (I suppose you can vote on the promo but I can tell you now: Esther and Angel at Shur are the leading contenders).
-
Date sounds good, doesn't interfere with any of my Thanksgiving plans. I don't care which promo it is.
-
Promo doesn't matter to me, the date sounds good, and is there any chance of adding booster in?
-

If I do booster, then it will not have the newest tins. I only have the "older" ROA ones.

I would rather not do this, because everytime I have...I've lost money....lots of it. That is why I have like 10 Tins unopened now-->a failed booster draft.
-
Ah, I understand. Those from NY state?
-
Ah, I understand. Those from NY state?
yes. Basically, I bought stock on who told me they wanted to play booster....life happened....not as many played booster as estimated....I have the leftovers collecting dust. I think they will eventually sell. It just makes me "gun-shy" to hold booster until the current stock is gone.
-
Having extra stock is a great reason to hold booster. You've already invested the money, why not make it back?
-
I have no problem with using the old tins.
-
I wouldn't mind the old tins either, and I'm sure I can get at least a couple from my playgroup to go. They love booster now after our tournament :)
-
I signed up for Booster, T1 2P, T2 2P, T2 Multi. Also, the promo is Esther (I let the person in my playgroup who needs the most deck help to decide the promo.) The Tourney winner cards are Harvest Time.
If you can be here by 1:30 PM then that is ideal to deck check and start by 2 PM.
Categories will likely be run as
Booster vs. T1 2P
Continued Booster vs. T2 2P
T2 Multi for those who can stay late(r).
Of course, all this is pending Rob's approval (paperwork was faxed Oct. 12.)
-
Booster vs. T1 2P
Way to force me to decide between making a run at RNRS Booster points, a category I'm trying to win this year, and getting another shot at you ::)
-
Yup! Easy choice for me, I won't spend money.
-
You're not going for RNRS though. 2 of my goals for this year, win RNRS in Booster and beat Greeson at least once. So it comes down to which of these do I want more. Getting closer to maxing out my local points for booster (possibly) or beating Greeson (possibly) and one of those things is more likely then the other ::)
-
Could it be....booster?

Okay spoke to the playgroup, we got at least a few definites coming, but I will have a precise number for your tournament soul seeker by this wednesday hopefully, i just need to get the exact time and dates
-
would any of the rochester folks be interested in carpooling? You drive right passed my house on the way down anyways. 3-4 available seats. It's 4 gallons of gas round trip so say 3-4 bucks each for gas depending on how many of you want to ride. I can also pick people up at roberts if need be.
-

I know it is a Sunday at 2 PM (to get here after church). I forget which Sunday in November...20th I think.
-
Okay I wasn't sure if it was the 13th or the 20th..
-
Okay so I have a few questions, I just need some info about the upcoming tourney. I need to know the exact date and how much it costs? Cause I heard the 13th or the 20th. And my group needs to know how much with booster this is going to cost.
-
I don't know cost, but I do know it's on the 20th.
Also: I'll be having a tournament either December 10th or 3rd. The paperwork says 10th, but I just realized that's the weekend before finals (instead of the weekend before that, which I thought it was).

It is Sunday, Nov. 20th. It will start at 2 PM (so you guys have a chance to get here after church.)
I am running categories for experience players against those for inexperience players.
The one-time cost to play all open categories is $5. Booster Draft is $15 and with the purchase of Booster draft T2 Multi is free if people can stay that long.
2 PM -- T1*/T2 2-Player Booster Draft deck build
T2*/T1 2 Player Booster Draft Games
Next Round -- T2 Multi for those who can stay late.
* I prefer to play them in this order, but I'm not opposed to reversing the order.
-
Okay I will let my group know, thanks looking forward to it.
-
Where is the tournament at? Might make an appearance if it's close to Williamsport!

Hey Soul Seeker,
I apologize but due to vehicular complications, I won't be able to make it to your tournament on Sunday, and my group can't snag a ride so my group and I won't be able to make it, again I apologize...

Booo...I'm so sad. We will miss you guys. I was hoping at least the youth pastor would make it. :'( We'll see you next time then.

I haven't heard back from Rob about my tournament, so that's on hold until further notice...
-
So your tournament is on hold? Alright well let us know when it will be :)
-
It's official! MLK weekend (Friday and Saturday, to be precise), the Redemption Raiders will host our first official tournament as a club! Help us make it our biggest tournament ever! Lodging and food will be provided.

Somekittens,
-
Which days is your tournament on ?? Your post says Friday/Saturday , Cactus website says Monday ??? Which is it ??
-
It's Friday/Saturday, wires got crossed somewhere.
-
Can we have the breakdown of times and tournament lineup?
-
This isn't set in stone, but we're looking at:
(9:00)
T1-2P
(lunch)
T1-MP
(after that)
TEAMS/Booster
-
That's good enough...thanks Randall. It lets me know what decks I need to have built and prepared. The thing that stands out is that I have to break my Type 2s apart.

Wouldnt Booster be better first to allow people to include new cards into a deck?
-
Dana had requested Booster be last, but she had to drop out completely, so we can set it to be first (still matched with TEAMS)
-
Yay now if I have a hockey game that night (which I conveniently won't know until that morning) i won't have to miss booster and I can still beat Bret!

That depends on if I dont epically fail at table stategy this time

No booster no care (kidding but if you can add booster that would be aweseome, id be cool with old tins if you have some left over.)

Sorry Alec, I only have 1 Tin leftover, and I can't afford to buy more right now. :( My family's dentist bill was too much this month. :'(
Just open categories for this tourney-->hope to see you anyway.
-
Yay dentistry. I'll see what I can do about getting my group down to you. Will the T2 events be paired with T1?
-

I'm still working out the pairings, so I will have to get back to you on that. However, my inclination is that not all categories will directly conflict (seeing as so few people want to play T2).
-
Just so long as we get to play Teams this time.

When is your tournament Soul Seeker?

To my fellow Nortern Western NYers (specifically the Rochester gang but if I have room more are welcome) my house happens to be almost exactly half way between Roberts and Greeson's so if ya'll (lol why did I just use that word) want to car pool let me know.
-
Hopefully by then we will have access to school vans
-
Location for the tournament? I should be able to make this one!

Jonathan's church is in Little Genesee, NY

I might try to make that tournament into a day trip.

Figures. You all skip out on my tournament, but when Grandmaster Greeson hosts a local, you're dying to show up.

I missed my chance to beat him, so I figured I should beat him this time.

Also there was snow. But mostly I got scheduled to work and there was no one to change with.

I'm going to be doing a district, I have two dates in mind, March 17th and March 24th. Can you guys let me know what date is better for you guys, I will probably be able to have my choice so I will pick which ever one more people can go to. Thanks guys :)
-
17h works better for me, I have a concert to go to on the 24th and I plan on sleeping for 24 hours prior to it as it will be a long night and a long drive.

I think both dates are open for us.
-
Okay I just got word back from my pastor pertaining to the dates the church would be available, and it looks like the 17th is the only open date. So plan on this district being on the 17th of March. Hope to see you guys there but I need to know how many guys are coming. But yeah hope you guys can make it.
-
I'll be there.
-
My local tournament application is in:
We are having 4 open categories. (T1 2P, T1 TEAMS, T2 2P, T2 Multi)
Hopefully, we can see you guys up on a Sunday afternoon starting at 1 PM (Feb. 26) if Rob approves. :)
$5 door entry to play any and all events.

hey guys! Id love to come if i am not working. I will letya know when i find out. May have to bring onr of both kids if so. Also have to find my cards. Lol
-
Yay! Rob's back!
-
Okay my tournament is officially on March 17th. It will run from 10:00 A.M to 10:00 P.M. Cost of the tournament will be 10 dollars, still working on booster draft stuff. But everything else is set. Hope you guys can make it.

Tom where are u located?

Tom where are u located?
he's around the lancaster area.

he's around the lancaster Lockport area.
FTFY.
-
It's like the same area haha, both are slightly outside of buffalo
-
LOL Lancaster is in PA

I thought this too, but I stand corrected:

Lancaster NY is the town you go through right before you get to Buffalo when driving down 33. I drive through Lancaster NY once every 2 weeks on my way to hockey practice. There can be more than one city with the same name. Being that you are from rochester and you know I am also from this area I actually find this response a little insulting.
-
my wife has a friend out there so I will definelty try to make it.
-
Also i'd like 2 start hosting again soon. Perhase a impromt local at some point.
-
Rob and you others, Luke's Church is in LOCKPORT NY not Lancaster! Its about 30 minutes north of Buffalo. For you Rob the best way to get there would be the Thruway to the Transit road exit #49 (exit before the Toll Barrier). Then take Route 78 North to Lockport!
Luke, BTW I'm planning on coming !
Al
-
Yay, I'm excited to hear you guys coming, but we gotta beat attendance of my last tournament, which means we have to beat 16 people! I know we can do this!
-
I'll be there
-
sry just found out i can get that day off.
hopefully next time.
edit
Has anyone thought about hosting states. I am think of applying for it.
-
not to double post but jonathan I took the 26th off so i will be coming. What will the event line up be.
Now just to get my cards and update my t2 decks
-
@ Luke: if it is March 17th, then I can't make it. My youth group has a training day in a local soup kitchen then.
@ Rob: Frankly, there are two lineups depending on how many people show and what they want to play, and how long they can stay to play it.
I was going to have both ready to go and then let the group decide.
-
Does one of these lineups include booster :)
-
sounds good anyone from rochester going to jonathans tourney?
-
45 minutes south of rochester but I plan on it
-
I can't make it.
-
I can't make it.
Is your group out too? -->It just hit me...I just lost my TEAMS partner. :'(
Does one of these lineups include booster :)
Unfortunately, no.
-
That Sunday's the last day of break, so I'll be on the road from Boston. I dunno about the rest of my group. Katedid might be able to organize something.
-
Well that is unfortunate considering I do not have a deck at this point in time. Guess I'll just be there to trade and sell ;D anyone from Kittens playgroup who wants to go let me know.
-
Im not going on the 26th. I actually wasn't ever planning on it since it is the last day before school starts and I need that day to reorganize
-
Jon, I and at least a few from my group are coming to your tournament on the 26th. But it's too bad to hear those of you who can't come to mine, we will still have a good time, but we will miss you guys.
-
unless my cousin comes that i just taught. I will need a teams partner if i playthat event
I have card sleeves avaliable for sale. 50 for $2

I would like to buy those.
-
how many are you interested in? I have orange, blue, green , purple and red lengend brand. (12 sets of 50). Also have 100 light green ultra pro that i would probably go 5$ on.
-
At $2 for 50, I'd like to get my hands on as many as possible.
-
Careful Randall the business major in you is showing ::)
-
90% of the time I give away the sleeves, and the other 10% is making decks for n00bs to practice against....
-
I meant getting the best deal possible. Calm down ya'll
-
Hey Rob you going to Jon's tournament? If so I would also be interested in seeing what sleeves you have for sale, I need some for a type 2 deck
-
yes i will be there
i have 20 or so of those deals. Then i also have 100 with a deck case for $6.
-
jonathan,
looks like my wife and cousin will both be coming with us, along with my 4 month old son.
-
Jonathan would you happen to have any extra decks, either T1 or T2 that I could borrow tomorrow? I don't have a deck built for tourney play...or a deck at all. I don't even care if it's just a starter deck you have laying around, just so I have something to do other than selling tomorrow.

Hey Alec,
I will see what I can dig up. I have to finish working on my decks tonight. So I will keep you in mind.
-
Thanks, and can I get the address as well? I'm pretty sure I remember how to get there but just in case
-
Address of Church:
8137 Main St.
Little Genesee, NY 14754
-
I may have extras if not. Even have sleeved starters i could bring
-
Sorry I couldn't make it today, hope fun was had by all.
In other news, I went to John M.'s district out in MA, was in first place going into the final round, where a former national champion (Tim Mierzdfhousxkiii) kicks my butt and sends my score into the pits (sound familiar?). Guess it's time to find a new hobby.
-
The girl that ended up playing Jonathan last could not place at all, regardless of differential, unless she won the game (so you know, she couldn't place at all) because her first game ended with a time out win so any one of the 4 people behind her needed only win their game to leap frog her. Broken system is broken and bias against pizza. (she timed out her first game because she got up to get a slice of pizza mid game)
-
its not nessarly broken because she still would have come in second if she did not delay her first game with pizza.
but since she did I got to come in second and i did loss to jonathan in round three.
@ Randall, I have 17 packs of those 50 sleeves for sale still at $2 and 6 deck boxes with 100 sleeves in them for $6.
Is there a time i could come to roberts, maybe when your group meets to sell you as many as you want.
-
I just don't like the idea of a person going from the top 2 to not placing because they lost the championship game. It makes no sense and is not done like that in any other form of competition I can think of.

We meet Friday nights at 6:30. When would you plan on coming?

i think i work this friday but should be able 2 come the next friday if you want

PM sent with my contact info. That'd be great!

I just don't like the idea of a person going from the top 2 to not placing because they lost the championship game. It makes no sense and is not done like that in any other form of competition I can think of.
What makes no sense is to only look at the last game of a tournament instead of the overall event. Sure she was in the championship game, but that 1 game doesn't reflect the whole tournament. Overall, she timed out a game due to pizza (not impressive) and played weaker opponents all the way to the top because of it, and then when finally playing tough competition got beat.
Compare that to someone who won their games at the beginning and therefore played tougher competition to get the chance to be beat by the same person (Jon) but then came back from that defeat to win the rest of their games.
I don't think anyone could look at the overall tournaments of those 2 players and argue that the 2nd player doesn't deserve to rank higher than pizza girl.
P.S. I'm not trying to be too hard on whoever pizza girl is. I had a player in my playgroup once who was on track to place at a TN state tourney in T2-mp, but ended up not because he literally fell asleep at the top table in the last round and the other guys couldn't keep waking him up. I'm still proud of him for making it to that table, and pizza girl should be proud of making it to a championship game at a tournament with SoulSeeker, Robm, and who knows who else :)
-
She was one of 2 undefeated players so I don't think implying we aren't considering her overall tournament is even remotely fair...the overall tournament got her to the top table, then she lost to Jonathan like everyone does and went from 2nd to either 4th or 5th I don't remember which. THAT doesn't take in to account her whole tournament. She was even beating Jonathan for about half the game.
For that matter I believe Redemption is the only CCG that even scores time out wins differently than regular wins.
I'm not striking that out because it's wrong, I just don't know if it is so there is no point in it staying there
-

OK, so Greeson went undefeated, and everyone agrees that he should win 1st. The 2nd and 3rd places should go to the other players who did the next best overall.
If the other people who finished ahead of this girl had more complete wins than she did, then they deserved to finish higher in the tournament than she did. This is the way it should be.
-
You can't evaluate a "more complete win". A person who time out wins 4-0 did better than someone who wins 5-4. Lost soul differential also isn't far because someone who wins 5-1 but allowed a successful rescue did not have as good of a game as the person who won 5-2 but the 2 is from an early SOG/NJ draw out of complete luck. Players who never had to play Jonathan (which, correct me if I'm wrong Rob, but the eventual second place finisher never player Jonathan that I can remember) shouldn't be able to leap frog the girl who was previously in second. They both had one loss. One of them loss to the eventual champion of the tournament, the other lost to someone who did not place, so who really had the more "complete" tournament.
-
Hey Alec,
I did play Rob....my opponents, the round we played in, and their comparative finish:
2nd Place Rob We played in Rd 3
4th Place Kayla* We played in Rd 4
5th Place Luke We played in Rd 2
6th Place Aaron** We played in Rd 1
* The infamous "pizza girl" To be fair, we were having a late lunch, and she was starving. Plus, her opponent was her best friend who wanted pizza as well. She is good-natured and didn't regret her decision despite my warning at the time of the "pizza incident."
** Aaron finished well despite discovering that he was missing 3 key cards to his deck strategy.
-
So there's issues with the way Redemption does tournaments. Surprise.
In other news, Luke is hosting our next tournament, a District, on March 17th!

** Aaron finished well despite discovering that he was missing 3 key cards to his deck strategy.
And this is where I have the problem with the way Redemption tournaments are run. Even if you take Kayla out of this for a minute all 3 of the other people who could have finished second only lost 1 game to the top player. Lost soul differential should not be the end all be all of who places. There's too much luck involved in SOG/NJ to make it a reliable source of who actually did better.
-
Better suggestions then Alec?
-
Well I will say one reason why Aaron and I placed lower is because we tied at 4 to 4 at the very end.
-
Better suggestions then Alec?
Exactly what I suggested the last time this happened (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/redemption-tournaments/tournament-style/)
-
You can't evaluate a "more complete win".
This is a hilarious statement in this particular situation. A game where I get to 5 LSs against my opponent is a "more complete win" than a game where I do NOT get to 5 LSs against my opponent because I took time out in the middle of the game to go get pizza. How can you possibly NOT call the former a "more complete win"?
And this is where I have the problem with the way Redemption tournaments are run...all 3 of the other people who could have finished second only lost 1 game to the top player. Lost soul differential should not be the end all be all of who places.
Here I agree with you (which is why I'm glad that head-to-head already counts more than differential).
-
This particular situation maybe but overall a tie out win does not automatically mean you did not play as good of a game as a player who just barely scrapped out a win against an inferior opponent, but that's the way the system is currently setup. Any regulation win automatically counts more then a time out win no matter what the situation.
-
Better suggestions then Alec?
I think Alec's a pretty good suggestion. Pwns newbs and doesn't afraid of anything.
-
I think both sides have valid points, however if you want to see how another style works out then someone can host a tourney with elimnation or something like that . locals and i believe districts dont haveto be swiss.
in regards to the last tourney i did play jonathan and lost to him. Then won my last game to come in second. There were a lot of variable in that outcome. Had he lost i would have come in third. Once he won and aaron Had 2 ls souls won in his game then i came in second. My wife came in third sith one lost soul less then me.
In other news there are more tourneys coming up. I am hoping to hostin march or april.
-
locals and i believe districts dont have to be swiss.
if this is true than I would like just a general survey of how many people would show up to a non- swiss style tourney,using the format in the post i linked above.

I am lazy and didn't feel like reading the post since it was long but I would love to play in a tournament that isn't swiss. I am not a huge fan of that style.

its true as long as the tourney host guide on cactus is still up 2 date. You can download and look under the tournament levels specific rules.
-
Any Finalized plans for the March 17th district Luke?
-
Well all that is finalized is the fact that the tournament is official on the 17th, we will be doing 5 categories, type 1 2 player, type 2 2 player, type 1 multi, teams, and booster draft. I wanted to know what order of events worked best for you guys, and I also wanted let you guys know that the entry price is 10 dollars, but if you want to do booster you have to talk to randall, I actually want to talk to him too. But it's going from 10 to 10 on saturday.

i will have 2 talk 2 the wife about that. How many people do you expect will come from roberts.
If she allows there could be room for two on the sectional couch and two or three on the floor
we do have one cat that will likey hide during the friday night part of the tourney.
-
I don't think anyone from here would mind cats. I couldn't tell you numbers until it got closer, but most likely we'll have mixed genders (shock!)
-
we can make space for a few girls in wth my wife and i will sleep out in the living room with some guys.
So limited sleeping space will be available.
-
Will there be sleeping arrangements?
If Roberts kicks you guys out you can sleep at my house if need be. I'll say limit 4 people for now but that could change once I clean my room and discover I actually have SPACE again. So many empty new egg boxes.
-
For those interested in preregistering you can pm me the events your interested in. Most likey will do a drawing for a second set of state promos for those that pre register.

This will help me collect any supplies i may need.
Pre pay and you will be entered a second time into the drawing. As well a chance to get a free sword of the spirit redemption poster.

Fairport, Ny 14450
This is also the addess for friday part of the tourney
-
Randall, if there would be any girls besides me going from Roberts they would probably stay at my house.
-
that would be easier on us as sleepjng arangments would be cramped here.
I may have to put a few more sealed deck together if a lot of people were interested in that on friday
-
If anybody wouldn't mind giving me a ride back to Roberts Friday night I would love to go.

We did include the errata on Mayhem, but didn't include any of the new rules.
-
Yes, everything except for the Mayhem Errata. We used that.
Instaposted.
-
After facing Randall, I found out that one card is making me change my entire defense in one deck.
-
Teaching some teens from my youth group redemption tonight, hopefully expanding my playgroup and having the kids get others interested in it. But most importantly having some good christian fellowship and mentorship. Yay.

2012-2013
The new season of redemption is upon us and hopefully this New Yorks year for some big tournaments.
Would anyone be interested in an impromtu tournment, if we had one on september 8th?
Let me know your thoughts, while I am busy with many activities this fall I still want to try to do a lot with Redemption this year.

September is a busy month for me, but I can talk to my wife about coming up.
-
k let me know cuz it may or may not happen. My wife has a mops conference or something that day so i was only thinking of doing it that day as I won't have any weekends free other then that until mid october.
-
I don't think you all know me but I'm connected to the south central PA playgroup that touches into MD. I will be at college and unable to attend but I'll talk to some of our members and see if anyone would head up your way.
-
What event(s) were you thinking Rob? & What promo?
Plus, have you cleared the date with it being less than 6 weeks away?
-
You can have one impromptu tourney a month per Rob a couple seasons back. There is a post with the details at the top of the tournament section on the boards.

What event(s) were you thinking Rob? & What promo?
Plus, have you cleared the date with it being less than 6 weeks away?
I haven't had any problems with just hosting the impromtu, and then sending all the info in. I think I've done at least three that way. If there is enough interest to have it and as long as my wife is cool with it I will probabaly do, t1-2,multi, t2-2, multi, and sealed. Probably goshen for the promo.
Hoping we hear some new about when the new stuff will be coming out so we can get some new promos in before christmas.
-
5 categories in one day?!? Wow, you are ambitious. My boys and I should make it on Sept. 8. It will be their first weekend after school starts so maybe it will help them unwind. They will want to play the T1 categories. I prefer the 2 Player categories. AND none of us will play sealed because I'm assuming that costs more.
-
It's gonna be hard to make tournaments seeing as I am working a few weddings for DJing on Sept 1,8,15,16 so it will be hard but I will try to see what I can do

Unless others decide they can come it would probably just be the four of us, so we could go through all four categories in a easy amount of time. Hopefully my cousin can watch the kids for part of it. What time would you like to arive to start? 9? 10? I'm leaving that more open ended to your arrival. I will leave it at 5 dollars to enter the tourney and will provided food and take donations for it to help resupply the redemption fun to host more later on in the fall.
I would really like to see regionals come to NY next summer and may have a place in mind for that if Randell or others are not thinking of bidding. I sure Luke would like to get states next summer.
-
September 8 is very possible for me. I have at least one or two others interested. What's the time frame and where about do you live? Luke said somewhere near us.

In addition to me and my boys, there is a real possibility that Aaron will come with me as well. (Only catch is that he will have been married for less than a week...however, his new wife has to work all day.)

Sounds good!
Mr.Tumnus, Will your group be making it? I want to make sure I have enough food.
-
Updated count for the food:
I just came from the Reception, and Aaron said that he likely will not make it now. His boss (who happen to be at the wedding) said he could save a vacation day if he came in on Saturday. Aaron is leaning towards saving a vacation day (by going into work) instead of coming to the tournament. Sorry for the flip flop, but I figured you would want the information as soon as I knew.
-
Thanks for the update. I can understand that! Looking forward to some redemption play this weekend.
Anyone else going to make it?
-
Jonathan,
Promo cards came in today. You or anyone else have any tournies planed for the upcoming future?
-
I hope to have one the second or third Sunday in November. I need to get the paperwork done though.
-
:bump:
My local is planned for Sun. Nov. 18th (around 1 PM is deck check). I am deciding between T2 Multi or Sealed as the 4th category.
EDIT: I dropped both Multi categories and went with Sealed and Teams to go with the 2 player events.
My district is slated for Sun. Dec. 2nd. We will have the standard 4 (or I can swap one for sealed).
EDIT: I used the same four as the earlier local.
-
Awesome I won't make any plans and will talk to Laine about coming down for those events!
-
I am gonna plan or trying to make at least one of those, and I am also going to see about my group.
-
I just noticed a new posted on the redemption facebook site about offering king david or NJ for winner promos, were you able to get either of those and what promos did you go for the local and district events?
-
Come and see. ;)
Local: Samson
District: Captured Ark
winner: King David

By the way I want to apologize for being so out of the loop, I am trying to get back into it, I've just been very busy with 2 jobs, school full time, and trying to start a business. But hopefully I will be getting back into this very soon. I hope to do a tournament soon, but unfortunately I don't have any ink to print off the papers so yeah bummer.
-
Hey I know I said I was going to make the tournament on the 18th, but something has come up and I won't be able to I apologize.
-
No problem. Thanks for letting me know Luke. I'm hoping to hear from Rob as well.
Rob, I'm still expecting you and Laine.
-
I'm sorry I won't have enough money to travel out the tournament tomorrow. Money is tight right now so I don't have money to travel :(
-
Thanks for letting me know Luke. My crew is going to be small as well.
-

I'm hoping to make this with my boys but we are battling the flu. We've all had it for 4 days. MLK day would be day 8 and I'm told with rest we would be over it in 6.
If you guys don't have T2...then does the price change if we leave after T1 2p or is it $10 regardless?

If you end up going to Luke's tournament let me know. I don't play anymore but would still be interested in meeting you eventually and he's not too far from me,

Jonathan
We'd love to have you & your crew! Hope you get well soon.
The cost for the tourney is only $5.
I wanted my crew to bring some extra for food, especially if it went beyond dinner (it should not)
We've got lunch covered.
Hope to see you then!
Joe

Thank you for your reply Joe.
Unfortunately, my boys didn't finish their homework (from a week without school from the flu) today and must work on it tomorrow. My wife asked me not to go and stay to help her with the kids (she rarely requests this of me...so I take note when she does ask), so I am heartbroken to say that I will not make it. I like to support my local area tournaments with my presence, but the flu kind of messed up my plans to play with you guys. Hopefully, the next time I plan to come it will not be so ill-fated. :'(
