It makes me sad to see your nametag thing be Sadness. may i ask why? i certainly hope that is not your name

Sadness · « **Reply #26 on:** August 29, 2010, 10:26:31 PM »

No that is not my name. I am named after a NT martyr. Sadness was the mood I was in that day,but you haf to admit,it is easy to remember.
Some of the names here tell me folks like halo.

Hi. My name is Terry and I host most of the tournaments in the southcentral region. We play at the Life Church in Dallas. I sent you a personal message with more info. Hope to see you Sept 18th.

The first Saturday in October just opened up for me, too. I plan to host a local, unless Ben wants to host it. I will offer the type 1 and type 2 events.

So, mark your calendars. September 18th District
First Saturday in October Local
Third Saturday in October District

It would be nice if you could host this one, then I will do my best to get the rest. The timing is great though, being that the last saturday in September I am taking the ACT then the second saturday in October I take the SAT.

Cool. I am faxing the local ap today.

I spoke to Rob this morning. He will be posting the 9/18 District and the 10/2 Local tournaments soon. I have already followed up with a District tournament 10/16.

Looking forward to a great year.

Added 2 more players to the ones indicating that they would be at the 9/18 tournament.

guys,

Is Life Church located at 13701 Hillcrest Road or is the address different?

Thanks, Stephen

You found us. Fantastic.

dallas tx Jacob · « **Reply #33 on:** September 03, 2010, 04:06:50 AM »

Yup that's it. Its right next to a big Greek church I believe.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #34 on:** September 12, 2010, 12:09:59 AM »

Add Stephen to list of attendees.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #35 on:** September 14, 2010, 02:01:10 PM »

I am sorry to say that none of the 24 packs of Disiples I bought will be available. I opened a pack, then another, and another....well you know how that goes. I do have the Chaldeons Promo, though.

I will have Disciples packs at the local on 10/2 tournament.

See you in 4 days.

Sadness · « **Reply #36 on:** September 14, 2010, 05:19:05 PM »

Question? Yes, another one. Don't y'all just love me

At these tournaments-does every participant get a promo or just the winners? And no, I am not trying to sound greedy.

In Christ,

Sadness

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #37 on:** September 14, 2010, 06:19:25 PM »

Everyone attending and registered to play in at least 1 event receives a promo. For this District Tournament, I was fortunate enough to be able to get Chaldeans. A player winning an event also will receive another promo, foil card or rare/ultra-rare card of his/her choice from the selection offered.

If a player places 1st, 2nd or 3rd in an event, he/she will also receive packs of cards as their prize.

Ask as many questions as you like. We have 2 of the best sources of gameplaying information in Marcus Parker and Ben Shadrick in our play group. Both are planning to be at this Saturday's events.

Lawfuldog · « **Reply #38 on:** September 15, 2010, 02:58:55 PM »

In all fairness to him, Chad Soderstrom has won at Nationals (twice, even) whereas I have not.

Also, Sadness, I'm Ben Shadrick and if there is anything at all you are wanting to know, whether it be about strategies or gameplay, feel free to PM me at anytime.

I am crazy excited about this tournament, I have 6 or 7 decks I want to try and it's so hard to just pick one!

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #39 on:** September 15, 2010, 05:25:22 PM »

Boy do I stand corrected. Thank you, Ben. Chad Soderstrom, one of my favorite moments was being at Nationals when Chad beat SirNobody in the finals to win that year's Type 1 2 Player Championship. And Chad will be joining us on Saturday (playing Type 2 I hope).

goldencomet · « **Reply #40 on:** September 15, 2010, 05:52:28 PM »

I probably can't come cause i just got grounded for an outrageous reason. I really hope to come, and I was getting so excited, but it may not happen. I'm so sorry but also so mad

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #41 on:** September 15, 2010, 06:26:45 PM »

I am sorry to hear that. We will be playing again on October 2nd (a local). Be good! Hope to see you then.

goldencomet · « **Reply #42 on:** September 18, 2010, 05:02:19 PM »

oh my gosh that was the funnest time i've had in a long time. I have to go back to studying and homework, but at least I got that little break!!!!
now i am SO EXCITED FOR TWO WEEKS FROM NOW!!!
i think if we have one every two weeks this will be the best year ever

Sixteen players rang in a new season of Redemption at The Life Church in Dallas, Tx. We had first time players, seasoned veterens. past National champions and comeback stories.

Chad Soderstroms successful return to the Redemption scene helped to punctuate this district tournament with an exclamation point. After nearly 2 years away from the game, he overcame a shakey start in the Type 1-2 Player event with an impressive win in the type 1-Multi event with his dominating play. He also placed 3rd in Booster Draft, clearly putting himself back on the Redemption map of players to watch this year. John Jacob Martinez placed second and newcommer Chris Rutledge sqeezed past a crowded field to place third.

John Jacob Martinez once again played masterfully as he scored an impressive win over the 14 player field in the Type 1-2 Player event. Luz Mora took second place while Jonathan Myers shocked everyone, including himself as he captured the third spot.

Of course, we can't have a successful tournament without Ben Shadrick strutting his stuff. He place first in both the Type 2-Multi Player and Booster Draft events.

Marcus Parker surprised Ben By blowing him away in the Type 2-2 Player event.

Terry Markoff placed second in Booster Draft and 3rd in theType 2-Multi Player event.

Ben Shadrick donated several thousand cards to the playgroup. There were wide smiles on the faces of the members of our playgroup for several hours after their last event as they lingered to search through the boxes of cards Ben had brought with him. Thanks, Ben.

Next tournament, a local Oct. 2nd. All are invited.

Not so much as surprised, I assumed it wouldn't work.

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #45 on:** September 20, 2010, 03:54:24 PM »

what wouldnt work?

MrMiYoda · « **Reply #46 on:** September 20, 2010, 04:03:16 PM »

Welcome back Mr. Soderstrom!!! Ben, I knew they all come back home..... I'm pretty sure it was an emotional reunion of sorts for the seasoned players who have once more reunited with long lost rivals.

Terry, welcome back to hosting sir! Texas is back in the Map!!!

God bless all!

CJStormTrooper · « **Reply #47 on:** September 20, 2010, 04:58:04 PM »

Its great to be back!

I can't wait to familiarize myself with all the new cards and come up with a deck that will hopefully put me back into the group of feared players. Hopefully by next nationals I will have everything perfected and will be back with my game face on.

I can't wait to see all the people I haven't seen in my 2 year absence. I also want to thank Terry for being such a great tournament host, and a good friend to everyone in the Texas play group. Thank you for everything you've done for us over the years Terry. Don't think this means I'll go easy on ya though!

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #48 on:** September 20, 2010, 05:12:32 PM »

Chad, it was great to see you again and to harrass you (in love) of course. Thanks for the kind words. I told everyone to take it easy on you for a few tournaments.

CJStormTrooper · « **Reply #49 on:** September 20, 2010, 08:06:21 PM »

Haha, it just wouldn't be a tournament without harassing eachother like always. Its all in good fun. I'd be careful taking it easy on me, I might just surprise you.
