2-3 hours is quite a bit for fellowship time, which is what we would have running Type 1 and then Type 2 and then Booster. If the host wants to use this schedule (and we are the only ones constrained for time) then we should do Booster first...

I actually disagree here. If we do Booster last, we can set up for it while the last game(s) of the category before Booster are finishing up, so we can get started asap. Plus, if people need to leave during a tournament, I think doing it during Booster is a better option, since we have a habit of borrowing cards from each other (especially me... love you Brad). I'm not too picky, but I think having Booster last is less messy. That said, honestly, if we keep at it, I think we can easily knock out three categories before 4:30. That gives us 7 and a half hours, and that's manageable I think.

Except I'm the one bringing the supplies

. And I have no experience to speak of for running all three back to back. It just seems silly to have a large amount of people have 2-3 hours of downtime for a few of us to play type 2 because a few people want to play both categories...Depending on the final schedule will determine what time Gretel and I show up. Because if I can get a few more hours of sleep before driving almost 2.5 hours we might just not show up until the 2nd category starts...I hate to be such a negative nancy here but this schedule design does not make any real feasible sense...

And to give you an idea of my concern, let's run some hypotheticals. Say we have 12 show up that wanted to play Type 1 2P. That's 4 rounds right there. Assuming we get started at 9am with round 1

9:00am-9:45am Round 1
9:50am-10:35am Round 2
10:40am-11:25am Round 3
11:30am-12:15 Round 4
Let's assume a 20 min lunch break and time for people to switch their decks to type 2. If there are more than 4 players that want to play type 2 then we have 3 rounds....
12:35-1:50 Round 1
1:55-2:05 Round 2
2:10-3:25 Round 3

And you haven't even boosted yet....See my concern?

Yeah, if T1 would be all morning, I wouldn't get there until after lunch. I'm 45 minutes away. I love you guys, but it's silly when I could be getting other stuff done. I think we're asking for efficiency; if there's time at the end we can hang out and stuffs.

Redoubter · « **Reply #28 on:** March 18, 2012, 10:31:42 PM »

If T1 is all morning, I will still be there with my crew (they have little choice, I'm driving

).

We'll be there at the start no matter what the schedule is, just would like to know the format ahead of time to prepare decks

czepp · « **Reply #29 on:** March 18, 2012, 10:51:12 PM »

We can have time before the tournament, during lunch, and afterwards to have social time.

dermo4christ · « **Reply #30 on:** March 19, 2012, 05:33:29 PM »

I don't care how the schedule is set up. It's my first tourney....I just want to play. Yes Jerome! I'm coming! Along with two others. My wife is coming too, but just to observe....if that's ok.

Jmbeers · « **Reply #31 on:** March 19, 2012, 07:11:02 PM »

Of course she can come, everyone is welcome (it's a big space)

Brad let me know when is a good time to talk to you about schedualing. I think it will be faster if we just do it over the phone (I have your number still)

Jmbeers · « **Reply #32 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:17:43 PM »

We will run T1-2P and T2-2P at the same time this weekend to make it faster.

Also let me know If you'd prefer Booster to be before or after the 2P events. (For gameplay it is nice to run it after 2P but for anyone who will want some of the new cards in there deck for 2P we would need to run it first)

I'll speak for myself. I like running it after but speaking for some friends of mine that arn't on the fourm they will need the new cards.

Thanks.

I do understand that sentiment, I just don't know how much the random boosters and a couple of tins will do. If the 2P are run at the same time, we could take more of a break between and let people try to add/build into what they have. I think in this case, it's up to you. I do see it played last usually, just what I've seen

TechnoEthicist · « **Reply #34 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:52:34 PM »

I am fine with either way. And yes, we will not be in a major hurry Saturday. And if someone feels me starting to rush things they can let me know.

Yay for new players!

Jmbeers · « **Reply #35 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:58:58 PM »

I can say there will be at least 5 people coming that have never participated in a booster so we won't we setting any records this weekend

TheMarti · « **Reply #36 on:** March 19, 2012, 11:00:25 PM »

I'm cool with either way. I may be a little late, depending if I get my final paper for my class done on Friday night or not. Don't wait for me though.

dermo4christ · « **Reply #37 on:** March 19, 2012, 11:21:45 PM »

I'm cool with it too. I'm just excited that I can finally be a part of this eventhough I may get my rearend handed to me on a silver platter....I'm game!!! LOL!

czepp · « **Reply #38 on:** March 20, 2012, 10:29:05 PM »

Like Jerome said, we will have a few ppl who will buy some cards before the tournament, and add some cards to their deck that they get from the booster draft. I think we should have booster in the morning.

Jmbeers · « **Reply #39 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:10:05 PM »

is anyone coming with an extra Damsel With Spirit of Divination?

I'm looking for one to compleate my deck before this Saturday!

If I can find mine I can lend it to you.

Redoubter · « **Reply #41 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:29:51 PM »

~~And I think I have one too, we should be able to cover you.~~ edit: scratch that, I'm out

On a side note, if anyone needs to borrow cards that they know now they will need, now's the time to speak up. I bring all my cards and Brad brings his, but other people will only bring what they need

Jmbeers · « **Reply #42 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:41:27 PM »

barrowing is ok, but I'd really like to trade or buy one

Ryupeco11 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:48:51 PM »

i pulled one in the booster on Saturday that i'd be willing to trade you ^_^

Jmbeers · « **Reply #44 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:51:41 PM »

hey hey

Ryupeco11 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2012, 11:55:34 PM »

czepp · « **Reply #46 on:** March 21, 2012, 05:59:08 PM »

Belshazzer's Banquet
Nebachadnezzar's Pride
Swift Horses
Treasures of War (possibly getting from Brad)
Magic Charms

What are we doing regarding the duplicate Davids ruling? If I have a David in play, can I use Sam to pull out another one or not?

Very good question as I'm pretty sure the deck will be used. Tournament host?

dermo4christ · « **Reply #49 on:** March 22, 2012, 07:07:00 PM »

hey czepp! I may have a few of those for you. I know i have swift horses for sure that you can borrow. I'm not sure if I have the others or not. They look familiar to me. I'm bringing all my cards to the tourney anyway. I can look then to see if I have them.
