I look forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones this weekend. For thsoe coming from out of town, I will pray that God bless your travels.
If anyone wants/needs my cell number for the tournament please feel free to send me a PM and ask. I am planning on leaving my house tomorrow around 11:00 am, so sending the PM before then would be good. ;) I will also have internet access at the church and will check PMs/e-mail periodically once I get things organized.
Here are the tournament details as they currently stand...
Dates: Friday July 23 and Saturday July 24.
Times: Friday July 23 5:00 pm
Saturday July 24 Session I 8:30 am
Saturday July 24 Session II 5:00 pm (estimate)
Events: All seven sanctioned events.
Cost: $10 Entrance Fee/Maximum $15 per family*/Spouses play free!**
$10 Sealed Deck
$15 Booster Draft
Payment: I will accept Redemption cash for the entry fees (but not Sealed/Booster, sorry).
The only drawback is that I just don't want to mess around making change for
Redemption cash, so I won't. If you want to give me a $12 Redemption cash
voucher for the $10 entry fee I won't turn you down, however.

Schedule***: Friday: Sealed, T2-MP, TEAMS
Saturday (Session I) T1-2P, T2-2P

Saturday (Session II) Booster, T1-MP
UPDATE!
The voters have spoken: Booster draft will be Classic Booster. We will be offering the following packs:

- Prophets
- Women
- Apostles
- Kings
- Angel Wars
- Priests
- Thesaurus
*Includes all blood relations living under one roof.
**Especially newly minted Alstad spouses and any spouse named Missy. ;)
***When making the original schedule I forgot about Type S. The local Fire Marshall will not allow us to play both T2 events and Type S in the same day.
-
I'm bring my Grandma, she lives with us :)
I'm guessing she's a spouse too :)
Gabe's coming?
Gabe's not coming, just Missy.

Since RDT deleted the post I was responding to, I will use this as a follow-up post...
UPDATE #1
I have flipped TEAMS and T1-MP for scheduling purposes. I really want to end Saturday evening sometime and not extend into the wee hours of Sunday. This necessitates ending with two MP events. Since at least one of the events had to be available for young-uns to play in, that means T1-MP.
UPDATE #2
Also, voting on what to us in Booster continues. If you are planning on playing Booster at the NC Regional please vote if you care.
So far we have Packs crushing Tins by a 2:1 margin. ;)
Packs Only: Prof Alstad
Rawrlolsauce
JSB23
Soundman
Tins: Master K Chief
Bubbleboy
UPDATE #4
If anyone is interested in buying a complete set of FoOF/RoA for $30/$27 + shipping let me know. If we go the packs route, I could use the money from selling the set(s) to pay for Women.
-
I'm silly, It was late at night, and I thought it was the MN State thread, I really shouldn't post at 1am....
-
Yay, slumber party!
Or, that is to say, Dominion-all-night-long party. :)
I shall attend!
-
For sure, I'll bring Race too :)

Do you have the new expansion? The Brinkmans got it in the mail while I was at their house for a game day a few weeks ago. (We didn't actually play it, though, because they didn't have enough of the right sleeves.)
-
Yep, I've got the whole schindig.

Schweet! That should be fun! I reek at that game though...

Some firefly will be seen
-
what tin/packs will be used for draft?
-
MJB told me he was planning to use disciples in addition to Original, Prophets, Patriarchs, Apostles, Kings, Priests, Warriors, and TXP.
-
srsly?
-
I tried to convince our host, Scott, to use Disciples at State, but he didn't have enough beings I bought a box the day before ;).
-
rawr.
but really, do you know what he will be using?
-
No. He just used teh old schoolz pax last year, so I could see him doing that + TXP this year. You probably should just shoot him a message or wait for him to drop by, though.
-
he didnt use tins last year?
-
That is correct. I believe he opened a bunch of ROA tins in front of us and sold the ROA set for like $30 and gave us the packs for booster ;).
-
If anyone has any suggestions as to what they would like to see used for booster at the NC Regionals, feel free to post here or PM me.
he didnt use tins last year?
No. Last year at the MN State tournament I went with an old school theme. I used E & F starters for Sealed. I aligned Booster with the theme by skipping the tin and giving eight packs to each player--Unlimited/Prophets/Women/Apostles/Patriarchs/Kings/Angel Wars/Priests. (Oh and Wild BIll opened a case of Warriors for Type-S. ;) )
The main reason for this choice was that the most vocal group of MN players prefer Booster over both Foofter and Roaster, especially at the end of the season when cheap tin cards are not a huge selling point. A side benefit was that Prof Alstad was able to purchase a complete set of RoA for cheap, and his money went directly to purchasing the packs of Women.
If anyone is interested in buying a complete set or two of FoOF/RoA for $30/$27 you could let me know that also.
-
i personally would prefer roa/foof tins. perhaps we can do old skool + tin cards for a super draft? :)
-
I could be interested in the FOOF. Depends how poor I am when it comes around :p.
I prefer traditional over the tins tbh. Beings I usually get paired with someone who has the same color.
-
perhaps we can do old skool + tin cards for a super draft? :)
Unfortunately, this is not going to be an option. :(
-
aww, imma sad panda. how come?
-
We could invite you to Austin for our less-than-once-a-year unofficial booster draft where we use everything except warriors :3.
-
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEAMS AND BOOSTER AT THE SAME TIME???!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
We could invite you to Austin for our less-than-once-a-year unofficial booster draft where we use everything except warriors :3.
speaking of which, when are we going to do that again?

When you're at nationals.
-
yes, i do also wish teams and booster werent paired together.
-
aww, imma sad panda. how come?
Because I assume everyone would like TexP included in the draft. The cost of a Tin + AW + Patriarchs/Kings + Women + TexP is greater than the $15 that the event is capped at. Even mixing FoOF/RoA is problematical for the same reason--which is why Nationals charges $20.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEAMS AND BOOSTER AT THE SAME TIME???!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEAMS AND BOOSTER AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry 'bout that.

you're forgiven, hahaha.
I'm really really not sure what I'll do...
-
As I have said in the past and will always continue to say, Classic Draft>Tin Draft, and if you expect any help from me at all over the course of the tourney, Matt, you will not have Tins in the draft...
Just kidding, I'd still be glad to help, but my preference won't change. Classic Draft all the way!
-
I like the tins because of the heroes. :P
-
I prefer packs

+1 packs make it more random

Hey,
When/Why was the schedule changed? :( I was really looking forward to playing Teams Saturday night.

-
Yeah.... Now its paired against T2-MP instead............

Hey Tim,
I tried to explain the reasons in the third post of the thread. The main reason is that I don't want to have to hold what is essentially a single-player event at the end of Saturday. I am afraid that we would end up needing too many rounds and that we might not get out of the church until Sunday morning. Especially since I would like to hold the one more than the minimum number of rounds for each event.
I'm sorry to upset your plans. Is there any chance you can make it for the Friday round? If it helps, I can delay the start of TEAMS for a bit to allow you an hour or so of extra time. I wouldn't want to push the start back much past 8:00 pm, however.
Yeah.... Now its paired against T2-MP instead............
Once again, see my post at spot #3 of the thread for an explanation. Holding seven official events over a day and a half is kind of a pain scheduling-wise.

Thanks, Soundman!

-

That is kinda the current plan. See the first and third post of this thread.
-
I vote we do T1 2p, T1 Multi, T2 2P, T2 Multi, Teams, and Booster on Friday simultaneously and do sealed on Saturday.
-
so a player can do both sealed and teams on friday night? awesome.
also, seeing as how packs are crushings tins for draft, what packs get used for booster?
-

No. You will have to pick one.
Given the number of young folk likely to attend, I can't in good conscience have any of the sessions go beyond midnight. And if we learned nothing else at MN State, we did learn that running events consecutively on Friday night will end up running into the wee of Saturday.

Lets see, I get off work at 6:00 pm. To start at 8:00 that gives me 2 hours to make a six hour drive...it's not going to happen.

No. The plan is to do Sealed/T2-MP/TEAMS in parallel on Friday evening.

Some people do take a day or half a day off to play in the big tournaments.

In fairness to Tim, he might very well have done that if the host hadn't changed the schedule on him with less than a month to go. :(

Yeah...."some people"s employers have other people that can fill in for "some people" when they take a day off. Sadly that's not my employer's philosophy.

1. It was totally called for.
2. You work too much, but we've discussed that before.
3. I unfortunately now have to find another partner for teams. I was so looking forward to being partners in crime, gosh darn it. :P

Hey All,
I am going to be on vacation for the next week. When I get back I will make final determinations on all controversies still outstanding. (Please note there will be no further changes to the schedule which is given in the first post.) In particular I will look at any further votes on the Booster (packs only) vs FoOFter/ROAster (tins) debate and make a final determination. So if you have a preference and plan to play in booster please post below and let me know. If it makes any difference to people, the classic booster would include Women amongst the packs handed out.
-
Guys, MJB told me that I'm in charge while he is gone. Shapen up, boys.
Also:
If anyone is interested in buying a complete set or two of FoOF/RoA for $30/$27 you could let me know that also.
I want a FOOF set. Better save it for me ;)
-

Ooh, that does make a difference. I've never played booster with Women packs before. I think I'm gonna have to vote for the packs.
-
Booster Draft, I vote for packs with Treasures.
-
yes, change my vote to packs now!
-
There is also going to be a board game tournament sponsored by MJB games
The cost is five dollars and there will be prizes
-
Hey,
Josh Slinkard and I are looking for a floor or couch to crash on Saturday Night after the tournament. Anyone interested/willing to put us up for the night?

If you want to drive back down to Rochester I've even got a bed for you ;)
-
I'm planning on comin' up from milwaukee and definitely hitting up booster, hopefully with a TxP pack in there to keep the women company :)
-
Ring Wraith and I have decided on our team name (and by that I mean it is on our list of ideas): Team Master KChief and TheHobbit13.
:D
-
So if you and Andrew and Nathan are all playing TEAMS, will there be ANYONE playing T2-Multi? Justin will be in Colombia so he won't be there. Matt will be hosting, so he won't be playing. Maybe I should give up my aspirations to be the Regional Sealed Deck champion and play what looks like it might be an easy category...

if I could stay over, that'd be much easier.
