The Long Island event is especially for those who will not be able to travel to OH for the "Redemption for Micah Fundraiser Event". You can still do your share in helping out. We will definitely be doing a FREE Sealed Deck Teams Event as one of the categories for those paying/playing at least TWO open events.

Factor into your plans the possibility that you may want to sleepover. The Villanovas have confirmed their OK for floor crashers but space is limited and so please make sure to let us know ahead of time by sending me an E-mail or a PM. Please kindly make sure that you are hygiene-conscious, b.o. banned -- lol. Bring your own toiletries and bath towel. Bring sleeping bags (only if you can).

--------------------------------
Must:
a. Sleeves for decks (open or sealed/closed categories)
b. Lost Souls for Booster Draft and Sealed Deck

---------------------------------
Lunch Special Option: $1 per pizza slice (players/chaperones only)

Godbless, ALL!

Post by: _JM_ on September 05, 2011, 05:57:09 PM: I might be able to come up for the December tourneys. That's the week my semester ends, so by Friday I'll be home. I'm not sure if I'll want to do any traveling then, however, or just stay at home.

Post by: czepp on September 07, 2011, 01:20:42 PM: ^Agreed! But this time we're either driving up a day early, or staying for the night! lol

Post by: DDiceRC on September 24, 2011, 05:00:09 PM: Roy- Let me have the boys check with Colts Neck about available weekends. Maybe you could hold one of those events in NJ for the more southern players. If not, we'd like to host a December or January event, so maybe we can discuss scheduling so we don't conflict.

Post by: MrMiYoda on September 27, 2011, 05:27:23 PM: Great to have you back, game master Steve!

Let me know what dates you are planning to host in NJ in November and December so that I can adjust my dates. I will defer to your plan if my planned dates will conflict with yours, but we need to act soon so that we can inform players ahead of time.

Thanks much and Godbless!

Title: Re: 2011 LI NY Tourney Plan -- North East Back-to-Back from 11-11-11 Are On!
Post by: MrMiYoda on October 03, 2011, 12:18:13 PM: Blessings all.

Please read the initial post for the final plan for the tourneys on 11-12 November 2011.

I've also decided to transfer in this reply the draft plan for the December LI back-to-back tourneys so that we can keep the thinktank for them:

WARNING: Below is just in the planning stage for now and may or may not push through.

*********************************************
PLAN:
Back-to-Back Local/District Tourney 16-17Dec2011 (venue TBA) -- *Local on 12-16-11 begins at 6pm; District on 12-17-11 begins at 10am).

Factor into your plans the possibility that you may want to sleepover. You may also just want one day instead of two. Final plans will depend on majority rule.

Your kind thoughts, please.

Thanks and Godbless.

Post by: MrMiYoda on October 05, 2011, 03:27:17 PM: Blessings all. Jordan G has confirmed ReBirth as venue for the Nov 11-12 back-to-back tourneys. Thank you so much and Godbless, sir!

Post by: DDiceRC on October 05, 2011, 10:57:30 PM: I can't make the BTB tourneys (I'm attending a Deaf Conference that weekend with members of my church's Deaf ministry), but we're looking at a late Nov./Early Dec. weekend, if I can get my sons to remember to ask for available dates when they go to church this weekend. (I'm interim pastor at another church, so they need to do some lifting here-especially Jon, who wants to be a host.)

Can you still make it after exams and into Saturday, then? Let's pray you can, son.

Godbless!

Post by: Chronic Apathy on October 15, 2011, 12:06:16 AM: Probably not. I could justify gas if I was going to be able to go for two days, but I can't really justify $50+ in gas for a day of play (right now I'm in the south part of PA, so it would be roughly an 8 hour drive to get there I would think).

Edit: Scratch that. I might make it now, it's only three hours, I was thinking way worse.

Post by: MrMiYoda on October 31, 2011, 10:57:08 PM: To those planning to crash at the Villanova home for one or both nights, please make sure that you bring your own bath towels. If have sleeping bags, please bring them if you can.

Rules of hygiene before coming to the tourneys remains in strict enforcement.

Please PM me or E-mail me if you have any special needs or requests in terms of food restrictions.

Thanks and Godbless.

how did this go?

The weekend was blessed with great weather, a dozen players, and donations for Micah.

I am not much of a blow-by-blow reporter as Prof Mark, but the highlights involve Kevin M. (ArmedKevin117) winning both T1 events. A new player, Tyler W. (Long Island), won Booster Draft. Official RNRS results should be up soon.

Peace and blessings.
