What a great time we had. Intense games and a huge RoAkster Draft. I thoroughly enjoy hosting for the awesome NV playgroup. As always I wish there was more time to be together for playing, trading and general goofing off. ;D I would like to thank Grace Church for allowing us to use the facility, we are very grateful. I would like to thank STAMP for the judging expertise, it is much appreciated. I don't believe we had nearly as many ruling questions as in the past. That shows much growth and understanding of the rules by the players have. You guys are awesome!
Susanville Local Tournament
More to be announced.
If you have any questions, just send a PM.

Let me hear from you guys.
Godspeed,
Mike

No T2 :'(
-
I'm still working on advancing the local players to T2 play. It will be happening soon. :prayer:
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Oh, ok. Good luck with your playgroup.

The Local Tounament is a go. See first post for all the info.
Godspeed,

New tentative tournament date posted on first post.

Updated with additional Tournament info.
Godspeed,

What categories do you think will be at the Jan tournament? I really want to play RoA Draft. That would be so much fun.

Cameron,
All categories are offered at District tournaments, so you will be playing RoA Booster Draft. ;D What I do need to know is, how many are expected to play RoA Booster Draft, so I can order supplies accordingly. Thanks.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Upcoming tournament info posted. :thumbup:
Godspeed,
Mike
-
oh my goodness. 2 days in Reno and, directly after, 2 days in CA! WOW
Also, I can bring some snacks too. :)

Godspeed,

Here we go with the triple post. :o
11 days and counting down to the Reno, NV District Tournament. I hope to see all the regular players there and the new ones also. It is gonna be a great time.
We are beginning the planning stages for the Nevada State Tournament on the weekend of April 17-18. Wooo-hoooo. Last year was a great tournament and this year will be even better.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Looks like this tournamnet is going to be a blast! ;D I will do what I can to bring some good food.
-
Do we have a schedule of events yet? I am interested in knowing what events will be offered at what times.
Thanks!
Cameron
P.S. I sent out a email to everyone in the NV group, so I'll see what response we get.
-
Great! Thanks Cameron.
I'll get a schedule put together and posted in the next day or so.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Ok, here is one possible pairing of categories.
Friday Night - Closed Deck and T2 - 2player
Saturday Morning - Booster Draft and T2 - Multi
Saturday Afternoon - T1 - 2player and T1 - Multi
This is tentative and flexible. There is the possiblity of running 2 categories together and the other 2 one after the other, it all depends on time. Any input is welcome. I would like to make sure the categories are paired up in such a way, as to allow players the most playtime without having to make a tough decision between which one to play.
The Friday start time may be closer to 3:30 - 4:00 to accomodate a few players. I don't see this having much impact on scheduling.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Many people I know want to play both T1 2player and T1 multi. What about this?
T1 multi - Closed Deck
Booster Draft - T2 multi
T1 2player - T2 2player
This schedule idea is based around the idea that most T1 players will want to play Booster along with the T1 categories. Just an idea.
-
Exactly why I ask for input. Ultimately we'll will work the schedule to get the most playtime in for all players. ;D
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Here is another idea:
T1 multi - T2 multi
Booster Draft
T1 2player
T2 2player - Closed Deck
Also, does anyone have a NJ (dom) that they could trade before the tournament starts? The musician is looking for one, and it would be great for him if he can get NJ at the tourny. If you do, PM me or the musician and we can try to make a deal. He has Pentecost and 2 UPCs.
Also, do you need a laptop? I know last time I brought mine, and I would be glad to again. I'll make sure I have the tourny tracker ready if you want it.
Also, we got another promise of cookies. XD Should we in addition bring $ for pizza, or should I ask everyone to bring lunch/dinner? Also, do we need other food/drinks/water?
Thanks all for working hard to make this happen! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!
Cameron

Posts edited. Please check them out!
-
It seems that you can bring lunch money if you want pizza, or you can pack your own lunch. There is no rule that you have to make one choice or the other.
-
Spy is correct. Lunch money or packing your lunch is fine. I will also have Redemption Card supplies on hand for sale as will Scott, so bring some spending money for that also. ;D I will have bottled water and some snacks on hand, any additional goodies are quite welcome.
@ the musician - I do have one NJ dominant that I can trade you for. We can work out details at the tournament.
@ Cameron - If you don't mind us using your laptop with tourney tracker, we would appreciate it tremendously. Your second tournament schedule looks promising also.
It is almost here.......wooo-hoooooo
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Let me think about that, but we will be able to work out a trade regardless.
Godspeed,
Mike
-

Sounds good!
Also, I am in desperate need for a Trembling Demon before the tournament. I have quite a few trading cards which I can PM if you want. If you have one to trade, PLEASE PM me! I would prefer to trade, but if necessary, I could buy....
Thanks,
Cameron

Godspeed,
Mike
-
In the end, he had like 13 URs. I think it was around $100 in cards. :0
-
:o wow, congratulations Justin.
I just finished getting a tally on the redeemed UPCs and it was a grand total of 590 UPCs. You guys did an outstanding job and thank you for honoring the January Birthdays, that was awesome.

Yeah TJ's run at regionals that year was just amazing, I remember making him open my packs for me and him still pulling more Ultra Rares out for me.
-
I tried that with Justin here, but he failed me. :(
-
Same, Justin must also have a curse.... :0
-
If you want, you can send those cards to my address since you don't need them. 8)

Those are awesome cards to pull and congratulations on Justin posting. ;)

Northern Nevada District Tournament Results
Type 2 Multi-Player
1. Mike Lasky
2. Austin Lippert
Is there something missing here? If it was a multi-player category then there must have been at least 3 players, and so 3rd place is missing.
-
nope, we only had 2 players per T2 category. Not a lot of T2 here in Reno. :(
-

If there are only 2 players, then I don't think that you can officially host that event at a tournament. Realistically it wasn't a multi-player game if there were only 2 people in it.

I agree with you... but then again, it wasn't my call. A multi-player tournament turned into a two-player game with an invisible player on a "bye." :laugh:
-
lol, I should've entered and thrown in a bunch of random cards to make a legal type 2 deck. I would've been guaranteed 3rd ;)
-
on second thought, I wouldn't be guaranteed 3rd. I'd still have to beat Bob ;)
-
I agree with you... but then again, it wasn't my call. A multi-player tournament turned into a two-player game with an invisible player on a "bye." :laugh:
I don't want to nitpick rules, but is this really allowed. Can a host allow only 2 players to complete in a "multi" event and then give prizes and RNRS points to the participants. I have canceled an event in the past when I didn't have 3 people to play in it. Should I do this in the future instead?
-
I don't think so... I wouldn't rule in favor of turning a multi-player category into a 2-player game.
-
I seem to recall that Bryon has canceled or delayed events as well if not enough are avaliable for MP.
2 players == 2 player game =/= multiplayer game.
-
Scott is correct. I don't hold a multi-player event unless or until there are three players who can play. Sometimes I used to jump into a multi-player event just so there can be a third player. Sometimes that means playing the event after the tournament is otherwise over.
-
Bryon,
You have brought up a good point. Unfortunately, it didn't occur to me to cancel the event, but to run it with who was there. I'm probably in the wrong on this, so I'll check into to it.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
I apologize to those affected by my error in running a multi-player category with 2 players. I talked with Rob about this and now have a crystal clear understanding that a multi-player event must have a minimum of 3 players to be run officially. In the future, if there are not enough players for a multi-player category, it will be postponed until enough players can play the category or it will be cancelled altogether. Once again, I do apologize for the error on my part.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Triple Postage, but worth it.
The 2nd Annual Nevada State Tournament is in the works.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Oh yeah, oh yeah. =D
-
Updated info on front page.
Applications have been sent in.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
All tournament info has be updated and everything is greenlight GO!
Any questions, feel free to send me a PM. The NV State will be run has we have run NV tournaments in the past unless the players would like to see/need any changes. Multi-player games will require a minimum of 3 players (poking fun at myself) to be run, so if you are interested in T2 Multi, let's make sure we have at least 3 players this time. ::)
Godspeed,
Mike
-
The 2nd Annual Nevada State Tournament flyer is complete and ready to be mailed to whoever would like a copy to promote this tournament.
RoAkster Draft will be $22.00 and will have 94 cards available to draft. :o
Godspeed,
Mike
-
I would love a copy. PM Sent
-
Looking forward to seeing all my No CA/NV friends! :)
-
NV and North CA players, earlier when it was announced taht Nats was in CA it was mentioned that I may be able to use my church van and meet players some where and give them rides the rest of the way to Nats. At this point there is an okay chance I can do this but I need to know how many would want to go and how likely it is that you would go. I can't have you telling me yes you are going then the day before I leave find out you aren't going. If I don't know some what soon who all needs rides I may not reserve teh van and just take a car with the people from here that are going with me.
-
Josh,
Are you thinking about coming down to the 2nd Annual Nevada State Tournament?
Godspeed,
Mike
-
No I will not be able to make it down.
-
No I will not be able to make it down.
Cries of anguish are heard at being deprived of a T2 Legend for the 2nd Annual NV State Tournament. ;D Guess we will have to settle for TJ this time. :scratch: :rollin:
Godspeed,
Mike
btw, do you think TJ will see this?
-
TJ is a legend in his own mind. ;)
But he is 1st in RNRS for T1-multi! :o
-
I saw TJ's ranking and almost laughed, I couldn't believe it but thats cool especially with Nats here on teh west coast this year.
-
Alright everyone.....We are on the countdown to the 2nd Annual Nevada State Tournament. Woot. :o
The RoAkster Draft has been lowered to $20.00 (that way I don't have to make change....lol) but the draft remains the same. 94 cards for drafting, covering 14 years of Redemption history.
I look forward to seeing everyone there and hopefully some new players.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Double postage. The Nevada State is just around the corner. Are we using the same play schedule as the District? That seemed to work out quite well. Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Godspeed,
Mike
-
sounds fine to me :)
-
Double postage.
Yes, TJ and I are planning on attending still. ;)
-
Schweet...........T2 multi is a go
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Just to organize everything (using last tourny's schedule).....
Fri Night, starting at 3:30 pm
T1 multi - T2 multi
Sat, starting at 9:00 am
Booster Draft
T1 2player
T2 2player - Closed Deck (for those who don't want to play either, like possibly me, pickup T1 games too?)
If we wanted to consolidate Saturday, we could also do something like this:
Booster Draft - T2 2player
T1 2player - Closed Deck
How does this look to everyone?
Cameron
-
Cameron,
That looks good. Everyone gets to play what they like without much conflict between categories. We will definately play RoAkster Draft as a standalone. With such a large draft we will need more time for it and I thnk just about everyone is gonna play also. I like the idea of pairing T2 2 player and Closed Deck. Like you said, it allows those who don't want to player either to get in some pickup games.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
The 2nd Annual Nevada State Tournament is tomorrow and we are excited about it. We will be using the Youth Modular Building on the church grounds, so be sure to pass the word to everyone. See you there.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
It's today! Yippee =D
-
What is your weather like Cameron. We haves steady rains for the past couple hours. Airsoft might be a muddy mess.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Right now, it is a bit windy with dark clouds. However, the weather shows possible rain right around 1. :P
Well, I'm not sure what to do. I'll get back to ya in a few. When do you need to know so that you can leave on time?
-
If it is game on, then I'll need to know by 11:30, but we will probably head over anyway at that time. If the boys don't play we will go to the church and set up early.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
ok, I'll post on the weather by then. That will give us enough time to get an idea on the weather for the rest of the day. The weather channel shows about a 40% chance of rain, but Reno weather is so weird we might have a beautiful sunny day. :-)
Cameron
-
UPDATE 9:11: Windy, but no rain. Clouds are dark, but the weather is still fine to do it. I would wear a hoodie or long sleeves, but it is still on as of now. I'll try to post around 11:00.
-
UPDATE 11:00. Unfortunately, it is not raining and is quite windy. I'm not sure whatwe should do. It isn't that nice out now. :(
-
We are getting ready to leave regardless. It will just give us some time to get there to play Airsoft or set up early. YeeeHaaaaaaa.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
We are a go. Can't wait!
-
Tournament Results Posted. I think there are 2 players that need to be toppled next year. ;)
Awesome job everyone.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Thank you so much for doing that tournament for us!
Maybe we should handicap Cameron. lol
Next tourney Cameron can't have SOG. Wait, he'd still probably win anyway :P
-
I guess next year maybe Cameron and I should switch categories for a handicap. :D
Thanks all for the warm welcome and fun times in Reno! Driving through that blizzard was worth it!
-
Handicap for me =D
I'm so glad you could make it. I wish we could make it to the OR State..... When is it BTW?
-
I was trying to keep track but may have missed it. Were any demons redeemed at NV state tournament? There weren't any in the games I played or closed deck.
-
Cameron OR state is May 15 and 16 and then NW Regionals is June 26 and 27. There is free housing offered at both.
