Hey all. This is a post mostly geared toward players who will be attending Tournaments in the DFW, Tomball, or San Antonio areas.

Check out Twitter (@tx_redemption):
HERE!

Basically I'm starting this thread as a way we can share our Availability and discuss tournament happenings throughout the season so that we can make tournaments more successful and hopefully have a few more this season. Feel free to post anything you feel is relevant to our playgroups here whether it be ideas, tournament or schedule related, or even prayer requests. Hope to see everyone soon and play some more amazing games of Redemption.

If we all will be at H&F this Friday night, Chris, Dario, Travis M, and I will plan out our upcoming tourneys with at least one local per month. We request our Tomball and DFW contingents to post/pm me their available/unavailable Fridays and Saturdays. This can help us plan out our back-to-back specials. Thanks and Godbless.

Brethren, it has just been cofirmed by the youth and young adult minister at a church in San Antonio that the project to teach Redemption to youth at the church's all-nighter event on the evening of Sept 28th is pushing through as planned. Depending on the excitement and what time the demos end I may or may not be at the McKinney districts next day. Joe, would you please kindly inform Terry to check on this thread and this post? Thanks much.

As for Dario, if Chris and Hannah are attending Terry's event, he may want to hitch a ride with them if they are okay with it. Else, Dario has a choice to stay with me at the all-nighter or bus to McKinney.

Let us see how God plans this exciting weekend for ya'll.

Peace and Blessings.

Note the following major demos if you are interested to help out. Some.of you have gotten an Email. However, note that it may be hard for players from other cities to help on Sep 28th since next day is districts at Terry's. For Oct 13th, next day is my mom's 82nd birthday. Y'all are welcome to crash at my poor man's home Sat night but you may need to leave my place without me next day. Worst case, Dario can stay home and can just join me later after you guys leave. PM me your thoughts please. Thanks in advance.

A. 28 Sep - Friday night demo for around 50 kids at St. Brigid Church.

B. 13 Oct for 100+ people (this includes a district tourney pending Cactus approval)

Texans and Beyond:

What next Fri/Sat back-to-back Local/District is best for your playgroups to come to San Antonio anew?

We can also plan if we can let the Closed-Only annual tournament begin this season in celebration of the upcoming 25th Anniv Nats. We were planning to host it as a TX-state hosted event like MN does its annual T2-Only. We must make sure that it does not conflict with Minnesota's T2-Only (attn MN hosts: we must all coordinate).

Thinktank!!!

Thanks and Godbless.

If we are doing it as a state event then the Texas State is scheduled for the first weekend of May. Will that conflict with the type-2 only event?

I think that Joe for one was thinking that the Closed-Only event is meant to be a local (perhaps a district?) like the T2-Only. Imo States should be run as is?

As for possible conflict with T2-Only sked, we should ask MN when they are scheduling this event.

That said, are you able to guesstimate a tentative weekend so the Redemption world can share its thoughts? at Spring Creek?

I think roy used state to refrence the state of texas not a state level event. Kind of how the T2 only is hosted by the state of MN every year. So this would be TXs thing. The Dates for the T2 only I believe are already posted and are in March 29 and 30th I think. The Guardian is hosting it and made a post about it. I think regardless we should try to come to a decision thay gives us enough time to spread the word if we want to encourage people from out of state to attend.

Since the T2 is I the Spring, higher level tournaments are in the Summer, let's shoot for Fall for our event. Or Winter for that matter. Folks might like to come down this way for our mild climate. I am all for hosting it at Spring Creek as long as we can mesh with the church calendar.

Perhaps we can already think-tank and pencil a tentative date.  I am not sure whether right before or after Thanksgiving might be good.

I would vote for during winter break, before Thanksgiving at least two weeks, or during a long weekend like MLK weekend.

I think Travis suggestions all sound good. I will do my best to attend regardless.

As a side note there is a good chance I will miss the state tournament this year. I am scheduled to have an exam that Saturday. It is possible that I can be allowed to take the exam on the makeup day but this is all pending instructor approval.

Hey Roy,

In regards to the question of monthly vs every other month events at H&F for the playgroups; I know monthly would be difficult for me to do, but every other month should be more reasonable.

Hope that helps!

I think we can do any of those. So u may want to go ahead and see which long weekend we can secure at Spring Creek. I suggest we let you choose what you feel is the best option. I also do not think there is any reason to delay this amazing event.

In that light would everyone be able to suggest a best NEXT end of month Fri/Sat that all may set their skeds to attend?

Also, just found out that our 1st Anniversary demoing and playing at Heroes & Fantasies (San Antonio) is April 20th! Let me know if we want to seal Apr 19/20 as our next back-to-back. The only concern about it is that in less than 2 weeks from those dates is our State tournament. I will want to use common sense. Is it workable with our budgets and skeds?
