When all the rounds are completed. :)  The number of rounds depends on the number of players, which we won't know for sure until that morning.  I'll take a guess of 2PM, but that may or may not be accurate.

There will be a Twin Cities caravan coming down...not sure exactly how many, but it seems to be at least 10-15.

I should be one of the caravan. ;D

Will there be any lodging at the church Sunday night?

Assuming my work schedule plays nice (which is no guarantee, but I'm hoping :P), and if Ken has room in his vehicle, I should be in attendance as well.

Yes.  We'll do our best to provide free overnight accommodations for people any night they need to stay.

Would the church mind folks pitching a small tent and sleeping outside?  My youngest loves "camping out" at overnight tournaments.

Anyone who wants is welcome to camp.  The church is outside of town and surrounded by a wooded creek.  Great place to pitch a tent.

Camping at tournaments? Sounds like it's in tents.

From our previous experience with Gabe's hosting at his church--I am sure he deliberately skipped mentioning it for legibility purposes. After all how easy would it be to get details from something like this...

***Come one, come all, to North Liberty, Iowa on Sunday, May 29th and Monday, May 30th (Memorial Day) for the 2011 North Central Regional Tournament!!!***

I rented a 48 seat passaenger bus. Will fill it up with random little kids from our Sunday School. We won't be staying over night. Just going to play sealed deck and come home. Hope you have lots of starter decks.  Not sure what I will do with all 48 Goliath Promos. Maybe I can sell some to Ken?

And during the whole ride, the kids will sing songs like the following:

To the tune of The Wheels on the Bus:

Tim Maly's deck uses TGT, TGT, TGT
Tim Maly's deck uses TGT
And some Choose the Blocker

Gabe Isbell's deck is purple and gray,
Purple and gray,
Purple and gray
Gabe Isbell's deck is purple and gray,
with Disciples, and Pharisees

Both will get beat by RLK's, RLK's, RLK's
Both will get beat by RLK's
With slightly modified H decks

Oh, I suppose I should have been paying attention to this thread. Has there been any discussion on the TC caravan yet? I'd like to get in on that if I could.

I started a separate thread about travel arrangements for TC folks. Hopefully it will get a bit more solid in the next few weeks.

Will there be special accommodations for the older generation? Cards in large Print, Bathrooms nearby, Mirrors placed behind our opponents backs....so we can see how good looking we are.

Whoever took my dentures at the blow out in Minnesota, I would like to have them back for Regionals.

Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on May 24, 2011, 06:15:46 PM
I'll try to remember to bring them, but my father is really liking them, they're much better than his set.

Just to confirm, the same person can't play both booster draft and teams, right?

According to Gabe's schedule, that is correct.
Title: Re: NC Regionals - Memorial Day Weekend!
Post by: Ken4Christ4ever on May 25, 2011, 03:03:36 PM
That would give me less competition in teams, so I'm all for it. :)
Title: Re: NC Regionals - Memorial Day Weekend!
Post by: Gabe on May 25, 2011, 03:30:57 PM
Depending on the time we start events and the number of participants I'd prefer to run them back to back so people can play in as many as possible. But with the number of people I'm expecting I think we will have to run them simultaneously.
Title: Re: NC Regionals - Memorial Day Weekend!
Post by: Master KChief on May 25, 2011, 03:35:31 PM
i myself would love to play in both teams and draft for one year. :(
Title: Re: NC Regionals - Memorial Day Weekend!
Post by: Ken4Christ4ever on May 25, 2011, 03:41:21 PM
Cool - that works. It would be fun to play booster draft again with a lot of people... Last time I did that was 2009 Nationals when I was one of two people to draft Grapes of Wrath and no one was completely sure how it was played!

I just confirmed that there are showers available for anyone spending the night at the church. If you haven't left yet pack your towel. :)
Title: Re: NC Regionals - Memorial Day Weekend!
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on May 29, 2011, 12:46:06 PM
You should always have a towel.....  :-\

You never know who or what you're going to run into at one of these tournaments.



But, Don't Panic - Gabe doesn't bite.
