Pre-Cactus-Application Sanctioned Official Local Tournaments

MrMiYoda:
Below's a link to an official announcement by Rob:
http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=17895.msg284286#msg284286

Rob may revise the rules as he wishes based on further valid suggestions, and so always stay in touch.

THE RULES FOR PRE-CACTUS-APPROVED SANCTIONED TOURNEYS (thus far):

1. Only Local tournaments are eligible for the Pre-Cactus-Approved tourney program.
2. Pre-Cactus-Approved tourneys are limited to 1 per month per group.
3. All paperwork/payments for previous Pre-Cactus-Approved tourneys must be resolved before the next one is allowed.
4. A maximun number of Pre-Cactus-Approved tournaments is 6 per season/per playgroup.
5. Pre-Cactus-Approved tournaments done between May 1st and Nationals are not cosidered sanctioned and official, thus no retroactive promo or prize support.
6. All Pre-Cactus-Approved tourney paperwork must be turned in by May 15th at the latest or else they are not eligible for promos, prize support and RNRS points.
7. Hosts must print their own forms (winner list, sign in sheet, tournament application) and mail these back with check or money order.  No faxes, e-mails or credit cards.
8. Hosts must have already hosted at least 2 sanctioned Locals and 1 sanctioned District to be eligible for the Pre-Cactus-Approved tourney program.

May I add, therefore, that hosts can advance any promos, winner cards, and prizes (i.e. booster packs and/or Redemption cash) as they are available.  Cactus will, after Pre-Cactus-Approved tourney are approved, mail hosts their retroactive promos and prize support.

GODBLESS ALL!

NWJosh:
The biggest bonus is Cactus would know exactly how many cards to send for promos.  Many times I've had a weekend that was available for many players but I didn't know it until the week before.  Doing a tourney then getting the rest of the paper work done later would be nice at times.

Prof Underwood:
I'm all for this if it could work out for Rob.  There are a lot of times that I could host a tournament if I didn't have to send in notice many weeks in advance.  Being at a school, I have students often that would love to play.  But working around their schedules for everything else makes it quite tricky to plan far enough out.

I definitely think that the big summer tourneys (State, Regional, and Nationals) should have to be announced far in advance.  However, I'm not sure that it is as important for local and district level events.

uthminister [BR]:
I agree this would be a nice alternative. Being involved in a card store weekly, we have times when we could host a tournament when other games are taking the week off (i.e. Friday nights, Saturday and Sundays). This would be a great way to let established hosts hold more tournaments when time allows rather than planning out six weeks in advance.

Cameron the Conqueror:
I think this is an amazing idea.  I totally support it.
