Note:  The Henley Street Bridge is closed you will need to take the James White Parkway exit to get to the tournament!

Directions on how to get to the church:

From the South & West:  Go to I-40 E
From the East: Go to I-40 W
From the North: Go from I-75 to I-40E, and 388A should be the first exit

Once you get to I-40, you will go to James White Parkway, exit 388A A, NOT exit 388!

Once you get off on 388A, you will need to be in the left two lanes.  There is an immediate split and you will split left onto Highway 71.

Stay in the left two lanes until James White Parkway ends.  Don't take any exits!

At the end of James White Parkway, turn right at the light onto Moody.

Pass through the first light (Woodlawn), and then turn left at the second light onto Chapman Highway.  You will travel about 3 or 4 miles down Chapman.

Go through 4 or 5 lights.  There will be a Taco Bell on your left and the church is on your right!

Obviously if all the games are completed we will start the next round earlier, so that we can keep the tournament moving and you don't have to be stuck all day and all night long!


For lunch during one of the tournaments I have some hot dogs I will be making.  If you don't eat hot dogs please let me know and I'll see if I can work something out for you.  You are more than welcome to bring your own food, but the hot dogs are part of the entry fee!   

Hope to see you at one or both of them!   

I will either come to your state or the PA state.  I will definitely try to make it to the regional.

The reason the Booster Draft is $20 is because I'm going to have everything!  FooF/RoA tins, all 7 booster packs & TeP packs!

There are 8 packs though:
-Blue
-Prophets
-Women
-Warriors
-Apostles
-Patriarchs
-Angel Wars
-Priests

I'll be on tour during regionals, but I'd love to go to State if I could find a way to put together a physical deck.

I should be able to make both, I will definitely ask off though.

Will do!  Between Carl Duety, adotson85 and me, we will have you a deck!

TN State: 5% chance I make it, 2% chance I bring some people with me
EC Regional: 15% chance I make it, 7% chance I bring some people with me

Either one: 100% chance I'll need a free place to crash (ie. church floor)

Any reason why the percentages are so low?

Yep, 3 reasons.

#1 - It's still a ways away and I really don't have that far away planned out for the most part.

#2 - I just returned from OH State, and have already committed to go to MW Regionals, and will likely hold a KY State.  Adding in more tournaments starts to make weekends pretty crowded, and make explaining to my wife difficult

#3 - I've never been to your place before, and I'm always a bit less inclined to go to new places, than places where I'm already familiar with how to get there.

All that being said, I would still like to come.  And if I can get someone to go with me, then it's much more likely that it will happen.

Chris, I wont make it for the TN state but i still plan on making it to the Regionals.  the weekend of May 22nd is when we will be celebrating my wifes birthday..soo..yeah.

The TN State is only 2 1/2 weeks away, and I still have room at my house!

I guess you guys can say TN is legit now!  So please make plans to come, and let me know if you need a place to stay, I have a bed that can sleep 2, a couch, and an air mattress.  I'm also trying to get permission to have everyone just bring an air mattress and sleep at the church, but don't have permission to do that just yet!  I'll keep you updated on that!

i really want to come just for booster but i am in CA

I'm there for States for sure, and I may be able to make the second day of Regionals (we're playing a show in PA the 24th, but if we get back the next day I could come).
