8:30 P.M. - 1:00 A.M.: Booster Draft / Teams (unofficial)
8 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.: Type 1 - 2 Player & Type 2 - Multi-Player
12:30 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.: Type 1 - Multi-Player & Type 2 - 2 Player

If anybodys wants to we can start a round robin sealed deck as well, I can send Rob extra money and make it official too!
This schedule looks great. If it's possible to add Sealed as an official category, would it be possible to change the TEAMS to official as well?

Yeah, we could possibly do that too!

If that's possible, then could we switch T1-mp with TEAMS? Is there anyone really wanting to play Booster and T1-mp? Because if it's just my guys playing T1-mp, then it would work better for me to have Booster line up with T1-mp, and then have TEAMS line up with T2-2p.

All the Knoxville guys will want to play Booster. Its probably our favorite besides type 2, but we don't really care about type 1 multi.

Crashfach2002 · « **Reply #203 on:** April 26, 2011, 08:49:14 PM »

That shouldn't be a problem. The biggest thing is that Tyler was going to judge the Type 1 while I judge the Type 2. I know we don't really need it with the experience of the players there, but with him not being there, it kinda threw a wrench in it. So I had planned on playing the Type 1 categories, but since he isn't coming, I guess you could judge Type 2 & I could jump to playing Type 2 & judging Type 1. So basically, it boils down to if I can put together another Type 2 deck by then. But lets plan on it that way!

Boy is that an understatement. These guys save thier booster draft decks and play a league where they add cards from thier draft. What I like is thier decks consist of more than 1 copy of a card. NICE!

That sounds great. I'm planning on playing Booster, T1-2p, and TEAMS, so I'd be glad to judge T1-mp, T2-2p, and T2-mp.

I dont know, remember you said Elymas (Bar-Jesus) the Sorcerer (Ap) could discard a hero without having to discard a demon if one wasnt available?

I've always heard that you HAVE to discard a demon TO discard a human! One of those fun cost/benefit, not "do as much as you can" cards.

Yeah, I was wrong on that one. It was a Booster draft, and I didn't have the "Play As" memorized for that card back then considering no one really uses that card normally. The "Play As" does make it clear that it is a cost/benefit SA. I apologize for messing up that one, and will try to do better this year

browarod · « **Reply #210 on:** April 27, 2011, 05:06:51 PM »

Except that is an errata disguised as a play as (since the printed ability is NOT a cost/benefit), so shouldn't it be ignored?

Well I guess I'll give a little tourney wrap-up, since no one else has yet.

Fri night, I arrived with 5 other people from our KY playgroup. Since Junior/Senior (kinda like Prom) was that weekend, many of our more experienced players weren't able to go. But it was a good chance for our less-experienced players to have a chance to shine. Chris was a great host as usual, and when we showed up there were plenty of snacks to eat and product to buy. There were only a couple guys from GA (RTSmaniac and his nephew) and a handful of people from TN, so there ended up being more KY people than any other state represented

Fri night had both T1-mp and Booster going at the same time, and due to the generosity of our host, almost everyone played Booster. 3 of my people opted out, and therefore Isaiah, Chris, and Alecia took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively in T1-mp. It was Isaiah's first tournament ever, and he was even borrowing a deck to play with at that point. However he picked up the game quickly and obviously was successful. I was proud of Alecia who placed for the first time in a tournament, and who was close to winning multiple games.

Meanwhile the rest of us played Booster with every pack except Warriors. I drafted at a table with RTSmaniac and his nephew. None of us seemed to get anything amazing for winning, although I was happy to get a Wall of Protection that I needed. We were disappointed that there were no Falling Aways at our table in the women's packs, and I was disappointed that with all those cards I still had an offense that was spread over 4 or 5 brigades. My defense was decent, but also wasn't stellar, so I didn't have high hopes for the event. However, I was able to win the first game and advance to the top table. The 2nd round was really quick. Ian started the game with TGT and a couple banding ladies, and no one seemed to be able to get 2 of the same brigade ECs on the table to block him. So he basically walked in for 5. I was happy to get to 4 before he finished the game, and so still got something for my trouble and stayed at the top table for the last round. 3 of us were tied with 4 LS in the final game, and it was my turn to go for the win. 2 people had LSs to rescue, Ian (who I had very little idea about his defense) and RTSmaniac (who I knew was about out of defense). I went in with Gabriel and he blocked with 2 ECs that banded. I negated the band, he negated everything with Midianite Attack, and all I had was a Striking Herod that wouldn't work, and didn't have enough numbers to get higher than him. In retrospect, I should've attacked Ian, and he probably couldn't have stopped me since he couldn't stop RTSmaniac when he attacked him and won the game. Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20. Anyway, RTSmaniac ended in 1st, I in 2nd, and Josh (I think) ended in 3rd.

Many of my players decided to stay up all night playing extra games for fun, and paid for it the next day by being really sleepy. In fact, one of them (Kayleb) was on track to place in T2-mp Saturday morning, but he put his head down at one point, and fell asleep during the final round game. The other players tried to wake him up a couple times when it was his turn, but he just couldn't wake up, so they just skipped him each time around after that and so naturally he lost. Let that be a lesson to everyone, to get some sleep on the Fri nights of tourneys

Meanwhile, most of us were playing T1-2p Sat morning. I went undefeated except for another matchup with RTSmaniac. He just had my number at that tournament, and totally dominated me in a game that I talk about in this other thread. He ended up taking 1st again. I ended up in 2nd again. And Josh ended up in 3rd again. Also of note, my player Chris finished in 4th, and my daughter Alecia again did not finish in last

In the afternoon, there was the T2-2p tournament which I really didn't follow at all, but that I know RTSmaniac also won. But myself and all of my playgroup were playing TEAMS! My playgroup people kept switching teammates, and so in the end, I decided to team up with my daughter Alecia. I was concerned that it might not go well considering that she is still really a novice at the game, and I am pretty competitive. I didn't want her to mess up and for me to get really mad at her and ruin the experience. At the same time, I really hoped it could be a really positive Daddy/Daughter time, and thankfully that was how it worked out. I played a defense-heavy deck and basically shut down both of our opponent's each game, and she played an offense heavy deck, and got enough LSs for the win each game. The closest call we had was at one point where our opponents played an AoC (not Promo) and I didn't see any way to save all our ECs that were down in the territory. I knew we had the block, and we had a couple ECs in a KotW, but I really didn't want to lose all those ECs. Then at the last minute Alecia noticed that she had Unsuccessful active, and used it to negate the AoC. I was so proud of her. So we finished in 1st, Ian/Logan finished in 2nd, and Chris/Isaiah ended in 3rd.

Overall, it was a great tournament. All my playgroup had a wonderful time. They met some great guys, and came home with a ton more cards than they showed up with, thanks to a lot of generous trades. Thanks to Chris for making it all possible. We'll look forward to returning the favor when you guys all come up for EC Regionals in July

Someone forgot about the little annoyance in clift's phone which was very sleepy.....(Why can't you remember me? You talked to me though speakerphone....) Explained:I called clift in the middle of top table of booster and talked to Prof Underwood and other thoughout the tourney. I was also falling asleep.

That's true, there was a rather surreal experience during the final game of Booster draft where Red called Clift, and so he just put it on speakerphone, and set it on the table. So we talked to him a bit as we played, although it was hard to carry on a conversation and stay focused on the game, so we didn't do it for very long

These dates are official, but I will be pushing the Nov. 5th tourney back a week. I forgot to change the date so I could attend the fund-raiser for Micah Archibald. If you GA guys would like to join me for that, you could ride up to my place and then we could go to OH from there!
