We have a couple guests traveling down from MN for the tournaments next weekend. Let me know if you are planning to come so I have a head count!
Kirk

Am I included in that guests from MN? If not, mark me and James down!
Is there any chance that TEAMS gets added to the slate? Possibly run against T1MP and Booster? Or maybe in place of touring your job ;) :P
-
Yes, guests from MN referred to you and James. I didn't know if you wanted your presence to be a surprise!
I guess there is chance TEAMS could be factored in somewhere. I am not sure about the interest level among Wisconsin players for that category, however. I guess it replacing T1MP could be the easiest option, if others did not have their hearts set on T1MP.
As far as the tour, I don't care if we do it or not, I just know that once people are there for the first time, the campus is pretty ridiculous and people often want to look around. If I add TEAMS during the tour you and James would just need to convince at least 2 others to play instead of going on the tour. You could probably find some interested parties, as the triplets have already had the tour.

I was still debating between booster and multi (especially since having to pay for the badger bus is cutting into my available funds), but if you drop multi for Teams then that just means I'm definitely playing booster, lol.
-
I won't drop T1 Multi unless the majority of players favored that.
Kirk
-
I would love to play TEAMS. I'll need a teammate, and if they need a deck I'd be more than happy to provide one for them. It'll probably just be Samuel speed, so I don't really need somebody with skillz. I haven't had much success beating John and James anyway, but I need the points since Sauce is leaving me to die in the cold. All alone.
-
I sent out an email to people who are coming to the tournament to ask if they are in favor of switching T1 Multi for TEAMS. Browarod, I am assuming your post means that even if you had a teammate you would not prefer to play TEAMS over T1 multi?
Kirk
-
I dunno. I tend to be paranoid, so I have really been uncomfortable with the idea of Teams since it would mean I am responsible to someone other than myself if I make a mistake (especially one that costs the game), but I guess now is as good a time as any to branch out of my shell. If you change to Teams I would consider playing if I could be matched with a teammate (who preferably is easy-going, haha).
-
Based on interest in other playing T1 Multi, the schedule for the first two pairings of events will remain the same. However, if there is interest, we can squeeze in Teams after the other 2 event pairings end.
Andrew, James Courtney (megamanlan) said he might want to play with you if you send him the decklist. You can PM him on the boards. I am fairly confident we can find you a teammate one way or another.

So I get to go back to having to choose between Booster and Multi, joy. lol :P
-
You could decide based on which needs another player to make things even! ;)

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. Just hope we have an even number of players, haha.
-
Some things came up and the three of us will not be able to go. :(
-
Thanks for the heads up Josh.
That's a bummer that the three of y'all will not be in attendance anymore - I guess that means WI is a lock to win. ;)
