2. Martin Miller MN
3. Chris Bany MN

Results for Type 2 Two Player 3 rounds
1. Justin Alstad MN
2. Bill Voigt MN
3. Jayden Alstad MN

Results Type 1 Multi-Player 4 rounds
1. Justin Alstad MN
2. Chris Bany MN
3. Isabelle Reuter MN

Results for Type 2 Multi-Player 3 rounds
1. Justin Alstad MN
2. James Roepke MN
3. Chris Bany MN

We had 12 Players participate in Type-A.

We also had an excellent turn out for Type-S, a new multi-player category created by Bill Voigt. In honor of Chris Bany and other old-school players in attendance I opened a case of Warriors specifically for this event. Type-S was such a hit that Bill is planning on including it in the NC Regionals.

The winner of Type-S was Jonathon Hanson.

Some of the younger players used their time between rounds to play one of those new-fangled ee-lectronic games--Smashing the Mario Super Brothers or somesuch. As a cantankerous curmudgeon, I took great joy in interrupting their little whoop-de-doo to start announcing the pairings for the next round.

He timed out against a site deck because of a rare mistake.... I should mention the site deck was mine. Oh also losing to Chris in the first round helped....

It's all part of my master plan to dominate T1-MP in 2011. The first step of the plan (which I'm currently working on) is to do a lot of losing in the 2009 and 2010 tournament seasons so that players will begin to view me as the old guy that can't hang with the young guns anymore and thus not view me as a threat in T1-MP.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

Tim, now you've spoiled your pl-Hey, Tim did so horrible this year that I bet I could probably beat him next year!

I notice that one of the youngest Alstads took third in Type 2!

~Jake of the Wolves~ · « **Reply #8 on:** June 21, 2009, 05:03:14 PM »

Personally I noted the large number of Alstads in general. And there were only three of them playing. Well, officially. Out of the eighteen places, four of them were Alstad, three of those were first place winners. I'm sure there's something wrong with that.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #9 on:** June 21, 2009, 05:28:36 PM »

Hedge - It could be because there was only 4 people playing type two

. Oh well, I'm sure hes better than me at t2

.

Props to Scott and Bell for representing!

Great Tournament Matt. Excellent competition. When you have the Twin Cities, Rochester and Austin play groups all at the same tournament its awful hard for an out of stater to win.

Although I do think the Type S competition was fixed.

The youngest Alstad as a matter of fact. While there were only 4 players, he did beat out a very experienced adult to grab 3rd. He also rescued as many LS against Bill as I did (3). The difference was that I held Bill to just 2 LS.

We had 20 people play T2 MP on Friday night...but everyone wanted to play T1 2P I guess... $:-\$

Hanno102 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 21, 2009, 09:43:31 PM »

Personally, I would much rather have played T2 2P. However, given I was traveling for the two weeks prior to the tournament, I simply didn't have a deck ready.

Oh well, all in all, it was a very good tournament.

Everyone was afraid of Guardian I guess. Although us three brave souls gave it our best. I had a timed out lose, Pat was ahead 5-2 but just could not close the deal, and I think Jayden got 6 lost souls.

I do commend your efforts gentlemen, better luck at regionals. The real question is, how many Plots did you rip against Justin, Bill?

Excuses, excuses...

The 2008 MN State champ was unable to attend due to a conflict with school.
The son of the 2008 MN State champ was unable to attend due to his father not being able to attend.
I (who took third at the 2008 MN State tournament) was unable to play because I was hosting.
One player--who had an hour-plus drive home after T2-MP which ended at 11:35 on Friday evening--slept through his alarm.
Hanno102 was out of town for a couple weeks prior to the event so he had no time to build a T2 deck.

So, just adding people who are definitely planning on playing T2 at the NC regional--we would have had nine. Notice also that (unlike Ohio) we didn't accept carpet-baggers from Arkansas just to bump up our numbers.

Bill ripped 2 Plots against me, (in a side battle no less...) which definitely was the reason our game timed out. I ripped 1 against him in an effort to knock out his defense, but it was too late.

It's even harder for out of staters to place when Nobody from out of state is in attendance.

They are indeed. If the eight or so of you decided to make the trip to the North Central Regional on July 17-18, I'm fairly certain you would be able to force me to eat those words.

You could also try out Type-S.

What does Type-S exactly entail?

It's pretty much indescribable...so you'll just have to come to North Central Regionals to see for yourself...

I'm working on "tweaking" RTS a little bit, so it would be possible to play online.

I hope the "New and Improved RTS(tm)" makes such tweaking easier.

We will be using foils at North Central Regionals so game play will be a little different than MN State.

Could someone please explain what Type-S actually is? Different deck-building rules? or different play rules? or what?

Type S is a straw wrapper shooting contest. It started out goofing around in a restaurant after a redemption tournament.

This year at MN state we had an official Type S tournament with prizes for the winner. At North Central Regionals we will have 2 catagories. One for distance and one for accuracy. We will be using foil wrappers for the distance catagory.
Prizes for Type S will be a Angel Wars Action Figure plus an uncut sheet. Both catagories will be run at the same time so you can only compete in one catagory.

Hopefully some year we will run type S at Nationals.

It actually started before that. After a regional tournament. I always get yelled at by the other adults for shooting straw wrappers so I thought might as well make it an official catagory. Then I wouldn't get yelled at.

IHOP was probably the place with the most witnesses. It actually started back in my college days at Winona State. I was eating ice cream with some buddies at a Bridgman’s Restaurant when a waitress bent over to wipe off a table. It was a direct hit!

It and alot of other things are well documented in my new book coming out after Nationals, "The Legend of Wild Bill".
