Below is the most recent tentative schedule for Redemption tournaments in the WA/OR/CA/NV area. I've taken into account feedback from each of the regular hosts in the northwest. I'll adjust the schedule as changes occur.
| DATE | LOCATION | LEVEL | STATUS |
| May 30 | Medford | Local | On Cactus schedule |
| June 13 | Medford | Local | On Cactus schedule |
| June 25 | Vancouver | WA State | On Cactus schedule |
| June 26-27 | Aumsville | NW Regional | On Cactus schedule |
| July 30 - Aug 1 | Newbury Park, CA | NATIONALS | On Cactus schedule |

This looks like a pretty good schedule so far. Sunday night I had a learning night to see if any youth would be interested and I had 5 players who know how to play come and 5 brand new players come. I also think there are 4 or 5 other players interested so my group has gone from 1 or 2 players to possibly 15 to 20.
-
Scott,
Did you have any ideas on dates for the NV State? and are you gonna plan on coming down again? I'll get my proposed dates worked out and sent to you to be posted.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Is June 5/6 a date that will work for the majority of people in the area? I'm pretty sure I'm free, just need to make sure we have people coming.
-
Wow, that's even more districts than locals... Bryon, we need more districts! ;)
-

Districts have been a draw to get our spread out players to travel long distances for the tournaments.
-
Mike, I seem to remember your boys having spring break sometime in April. Would that be a good time for NV State? Of course, the determining factor will be when the NV groups says the church is available. :)

And we don't always post our local tourneys because our local players know about the tourney and guys aren't going to drive 4 hours for a local.

Mar 28 Aumsville District Proposed
May 15-16 Aumsville OR State Proposed
I've already reserved the church for these days. I'll be sending in the District application really soon and if no other oregon players want the OR state tourney I'll send in that application probably in January. I believe that is when they usually start getting looked at by Rob. Mike and Scott would either of you two be trying to attend either of these two events? If so let me know. For OR State I'm sure I could convince my wife to take a weekend away and have the house open for people to sleep at.
Also I'm excited because I bought like 16 decks a few weeks ago and only have 3 left for my youth group. I've got over 15 players easily and more interested in playing. In a day or two I'm going to post on the trade pages my needs for the play group so if any of you have anything I need I like to work out trades with NW players first. Thanks everyone.
-
Well today at my little local we had 10 people and were missing atleast 5 others who were gone today.
-
Thanks for being willing to change that Scott. Does anyone know when the state and regional applications are being looked at? Also I'm going to try and plan some addictional districts up here but I'm not sure when just yet.
-
Scott,
I was thinking of have the NV State the weekend of April 17-18. I see you have a proposed tournament that weekend. Most of the schools in this area will be out that week and I shouldn't have any trouble getting that time off of work.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
And guys for regionals my wife will probably plan on going away for the weekend so the house will be open for people to come and stay.
-
:bump:
Updated top of thread. Rob has placed my tournaments on the Cactus schedule! :)
-
For WA state, would we need to do 2 days? I know it could be a long Saturday but with NV, CA, and OR state all happening I doubt we'll have a big turnout.
Opinions?
-
TJ, maybe Jake, and I will all be coming. I guess it will depend on turnout and what hours you have the church for? It's certainly okay by me.
-
I would be okay with a one day WA state tourney although Ben we may have a big group from here come up so having it be two days could be easier especially if we have like Type 2 events on Friday. My group will play both T1 events and there may be a couple of them who would do Booster or closed and if my main two events are out of the way I will be able to help judge and do stuff like that for the T1 events. I will want to do booster like normal of course. We could do type 2 friday at your house if you have space nad your parents don't mind.

If we laminate our cards we could do a pool party competition! :D
-
Haha, we could play pool Redemption. I'll talk to my youth pastor and see what he thinks.
-
Scott what is the promo for your district in Feb? I may come down.
-
Rob is sending me the new teal hero. :)
-
Haha, we could play pool Redemption. I'll talk to my youth pastor and see what he thinks.
Underwater Redemption!
(not sure how I found myself in here... :P)
-
It's ok, lots of people read our threads. Last year it got out of hand with some comments from some people but as long as we're all having fun you can read them. ;)
-
I'm not sure whats harder, trying to get tourneys all lined up and hosting them or building decks to play with at tourneys. I see that you already have teh OR state application done and approved so I guess I can probably send in the regional one soon. I'm excited that my group is growing as fast as it is and that having regionals here gives them a chance to get alot of cool cards.
-
Scott will there be "lodging" at your district in Feb? Ben may come down with me also.
-
I am pretty sure. I haven't cleared it yet with Dana but I don't believe it will be a problem. I'll PM you both later today.
-
Okay the regional application was sent in yesterday. As well as the district I will run in march. As for this months district in Feb. in medford Ben do you still want to go. I'm planning on going Friday and coming back saturday night. If you want we can split the cost of a motel room or something.
-
I think you two can stay with us. I'll get back to you.
-
Either way Scott its not a big deal, motel rooms aren't that expensive for one night
-
That's true...especially during the winter. I've noticed the rates are lower on some of the local hotels.
But I'll keep you posted...
-
The march district and the regionals are on teh official tourney listings. Regionals does have a small mistake, the dates are June 26th and 27th not March. One of the things I'm going to do for Booster draft for both of these is if someone has an unopened tin (foof or RoA I don't care) you can bring it and put it into "the pot" instead of paying a fee to play. You wont get the tin you bring unless you draw it out but I know that some of us have tins unopened laying around or can get a tin cheaper then the $12 fee.
I don't know the schedule yet for the tourneys. It really is going to depend on what events my group wants to play the most. I'm sure both T1 events will be on saturday but I'm not sure what the other two events will be, or what events will happen on Friday night.
-
Everything is just about set! We just need Ben to send in for a WA State and our schedule is complete...right up to Nationals!
-
Ya if he weren't off running around doing college visits I would call him lazy, but since he is probably down in warmer climates then I am in I can't say anything.
-
I am pretty lazy. I could tell you about all the stuff I have going on but the reality is that if I woke up before 10AM everyday and didn't waste 1-2 hours playing wii sports I would probably have everything done that I need to.
I visited with the Wolfe's on my trip to CA and they're excited for nationals. Hopefully we can caravan as many people as possible down to make it a good experience for Rob and everybody else that comes across the mountains.
-
Just so you all know, incase you don't glance at the prayer forum, my wife is having a miscarriage. I am still coming to the tourney this weekend. Shawnee's mom is coming down and shawnee wants me to get away a little so I am coming down still. We are doing ok, we just go tot get through this and move on.
-
Ben can't make it down so I am on my way. See you all tonight
-
Yeah, sorry I can't come. Maybe another time.
-
We'll miss you!
-
How did the District go? We missed out and we know it. :(
Godspeed,
Mike
-
We had a blast! Jake won TWO categories!! :o Josh won two categories, too, but neither was Type 2!! :o :o
But the best moment came when Jon redeemed his 3rd place winnings ($3 Redemption cash) for one of only two Apostles booster packs I had left. He pulled a GUARDIAN OF YOUR SOULS!!! He had been trying to trade for one for the past four tournaments. That was awesome! :thumbup:
-
Sweet pull on the GoyS. A 50-50 chance in picking the right pack and he gets it. Awesome. We are glad to hear of the great success and look forward to the NV State and trying make it to the OR State and NW Regionals.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
I've been thinking about not hosting a WA state tournament this year. Would that severly upset anybody?
-
Okay by me. I'll be helping out at NV State and hosting OR State. If you don't do WA State, maybe we can slide the OR State to that weekend. What's everyone think?
-
I think Ben needs to slide to the NV State. ;D
I have a feeling that TJ might be there justa hankering for a T2 game. ::)
Godspeed,
Mike
-
I don't mind when the other tournaments happen, thats up to you guys.
777, I would go to NV state if I could buy a plane ticket or gas for my car with Redemption Cash...

Ben, did you see the new member, mADcivet, from Gresham? You might want to reconsider a WA state if you are able. Sounds like your attendance could be higher this year.

if something were in my area i'd deff try and be there ;D even if I had no chance of winning lol. if anybody hosts something near the portland area let me know via PM or hamachi! thanks!
-
Ben if you run a WA state I will help you out. I know I will be able to bring up atleast a handful of youth with me so it wont be too bad attendance wise. Just let me know what you want to do.
-
Ben have you made any progress on the WA state application and my order? Just wondering
-
No, I stopped thinking about it after my parents said the first/second weeks of June wouldn't work. I'm not real particular on the dates, what would you suggest?
-
I don't know that I can do it any other weekends so I wouldn't worry about it at all.
-
Alright, that's what I figured. Are you taking some kids down for OR state? Do you still want me to place the order?
-
no I will not be taking any with me to Oregon state in fact if its in medford I wont be going either
-
no I will not be taking any with me to Oregon state in fact if its in medford I wont be going either
So that means you wouldn't be interested in driving down with me?
-
I may consider it, but I'm not sure what all I will be able to do. I'll let you know later on
-
Josh, remember we're moving state to your church. Same weekend. I just need to inform Rob. With what happened with Sam I was going to keep it here. But with your big playgroup I can probably make enough to cover the cost of the trip.

That's good news. I think Josh's new playgroup has a lot of potential and probably some players that will place in the tournament.
-
what happened with Sam? Okay I wasn't sure if you were going to move it up here or not. Lodgeing is free Scott up here and it sounds like breakfast on saturday may be free. (WAFFLES) And Ben you can stay the night here too, and YES i still need that order for Regionals.
-
Yeah and I think a few will place especially if I pump up some of their decks.
-
Schedule has been updated with highlighted changes. :)
-
You can take WA state off the list. I can't do it the weekend Josh could come up so we aren't going to bother with it.
-
Ben I do have one idea. First question is are you getting a job this summer? If not what if we didn't do WA state on a weekend. Of all the people that would come to WA state if we had it, I may be one of only a couple people who have jobs. The rest of the players, especially my group, all are students who have hte summer off. What if we were to do it on a Monday? This just came to my mind and I thought it would be interesting. I'm not saying we should run a WA state but I'm not saying we shouldn't. A WA state would give those of us wanting to go to Nats another chance to earn RNRS points as well as giving the guys who might go with me to Nats some much needed experience. Plus it gives the NW playgroup more cards to us for deck building and bringing in newer players.
-
And some of us who have full-time jobs can take vacation! :)
I'll put my vote in for a Monday tournament.
-
Or what if WA state was Thursday June 25 and then Friday 26th and Saturday 27th was Regionals. It would get us ready for the 3 day Nats schedule. :) Then Scott would only have to make one trip up to this area. Just thinking out loud. Heck I know a few of my youth would love 3 days of redemption. Plus on Friday I don't plan on starting until evening time for the events played then so friday would be a day to relax or do whatever. My personal preference for Friday would be us sitting down and discussion deck ideas for Nats and then building decks. I know one of the guys who might go with me will play both T1 events and I can't build a T1 deck to save my life.
Also I just thought of this, if Gerry wanted to come across for Regionals doing a thursday WA state tourney might be a really nice bonus for him and his boys. That way they wouldn't have to come to OR state and then back for Regionals to get all the promos but just a four day weekend or so and could get all the promos and play alot of games.
-
Wow! That's actually a pretty good idea, especially here in the NW since you mentioned our most common obstacle, long trips over lots of mountains. And it definitely would prepare us for 3 days of Nats.
-
See I can have good ideas. What do you say Ben? Think about its packs flowing down like rain, RNRS points building like towers, and Mt. Dew (not for me I can't stand it). Could be lots of fun and I will cover the application fee for WA state if you do supplies and any extra supplies I'll probably buy from you in case I need extra the next day at Regionals.
-
Let me double check with my parents. If they're alright with it then that should probably work.
-
If your parents say no I'll have to use my super amazing back up plan and play at my parents house in the game room in Longview. But thats a long drive only to drive back for regionals the next day. :)
-
Exactly! And we're trying to cut down on driving. ;)
-
Wow! Having WA State and Regionals on the same weekend is a great idea Josh. It would be like our very own Nationals, and it would save us alot of driving. ;D
-
Let me double check with my parents. If they're alright with it then that should probably work.
Any news on WA state?

Just waiting for church approval before sending in the application.
