There hasnt been a SoCal tournament for months...any ideas on the next?

Ironica · « **Reply #1 on:** April 26, 2013, 10:26:09 AM »

Is Bryan still active? With the way things are going here, this might be my last time I can come down south for his tournaments (either state or regional). I hope he'll get them up soon.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #2 on:** April 26, 2013, 10:57:32 AM »

There hasnt been one in months, and havent heard from him recently

Ironica · « **Reply #3 on:** April 26, 2013, 03:13:33 PM »

He did post a day or two ago so there's hope

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #4 on:** April 26, 2013, 04:43:16 PM »

*Fingers Crossed* Hopefully! =D

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #5 on:** May 05, 2013, 07:09:56 PM »

Bryon?? Anything? ...

Isildur · « **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2013, 09:24:15 PM »

Nothing is planned. As far as I know there are intentions to do a State and a Regional tourney but nothing is set in stone.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #7 on:** May 06, 2013, 10:56:52 AM »

I would love to host state and regionals but ive never hosted a tournament before...I mean our church would prob love to host it although im the only one there currently playing

Ironica · « **Reply #8 on:** May 12, 2013, 12:58:40 AM »

I would host..but I doubt ya all are dedicated enough to drive four hours one way

.

Bryon · « **Reply #9 on:** May 12, 2013, 01:10:06 AM »

I will host 2 or 3 tournaments. State, Regionals, and maybe a district.

I just need to pick some dates. Put in your conflicts now and I'll see what I can do.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #10 on:** May 12, 2013, 02:49:42 PM »

Sweet!!! Let me know ASAP cause i need to get my deck re situated!!! What decks are good still? cause i have nooooo idea lol!

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2013, 03:20:24 PM »

Is there any possibility of doing a playgroup kind of thing pior to the tournament so that people that havent plated for months *cough* me *cough* could practice a bit? and if bryon cant do itthen we might be able to do it at my churxh or another ifvpeople are interesred

Bryon · « **Reply #12 on:** May 12, 2013, 03:44:07 PM »

I plan to have the tournaments as soon as the new cards are available. Before that point, several players here often meet for a few hours on Sunday afternoons to play a game or two.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2013, 05:07:25 PM »

What times? and next sunday too?

Bryon · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2013, 07:10:21 PM »

Not next Sunday. There is a preschool open house that day.

But probably the next Sunday. We usually meet from about 1:00 to about 4:00. Sometimes we it is more like 1:30 to 4:30. Contact me around the 24th and I'll let you know the schedule for the 26th.

Ironica · « **Reply #15 on:** May 12, 2013, 07:20:37 PM »

My July's booked. If you could possibly have one at the end of June, I might be able to come.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2013, 09:24:41 AM »

What day do the new cards officially come out? And if it is before the 26th, will you have them for sale when the playgroup starts? =D

Bryon · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2013, 10:22:29 AM »

I don't know when they will be available. I'm going to order them as soon as they are available. I should have them within a couple weeks of ordering them.

Last I heard was July 1, so I planned to have the tournaments starting then.

But if Chris wants to come to one of them, maybe we should have our first one at the end of June instead. We likely won't have the new cards by then, but we can hope.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2013, 10:47:48 AM »

Ok cause i havent been planning my decks based on the new cards so i dont mind competing before the sets come out. i would just like to buy them asap as well

And how m:uch will booster draft cost about? thanks

Bryon · « **Reply #19 on:** May 17, 2013, 01:32:53 PM »

I'm thinking about 15 or 17 for booster draft.

Maybe we'll do a Tin draft where everyone gets the new Tin? That could seem quite ... foreign.

The Wolfe pack will be looking forward to some tournaments.

Great! We look forward to seeing you.

We're looking forwards to seeing our Redemption friends too, now that school is out.

Bryon, let us know if the playgroup is next Sunday, too, we'd love to join you.

Also, aside from Field Day June 22-23, we expect weekends to be free this summer.

Please don't based your decision on me. If anything comes up that requires finances (e.g. car trouble (which we have been having lately)), I might not be able to come down at all. Nine hours of driving is a lot of gas

.

As of now, the July 4th weekend we are going camping and them my non-blood brother is coming home for a week from the military and he's not sure which week it will be.

Bryon · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2013, 10:29:01 AM »

We're meeting this Saturday! Chris Bany is visiting. We will probably start at about 9am and go through the evening. We might start later and begin the day with a little hike. Plan on a dinner break for In-n-Out.

I may put together an impromptu local tournament if interest is high. Otherwise it will be Redemption and board games for most of the day.

We can discuss major tournament dates at that meeting. See you Saturday!

sk · « **Reply #25 on:** May 21, 2013, 12:55:00 AM »

Sounds great!

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #26 on:** May 21, 2013, 02:28:15 AM »

I am quite sad...i just realized that im in a wedding in june and i have to go the wedding party on saturday...

Let me know when the next one is though! i think my deck is still decent soooo we will see

mjwolfe · « **Reply #27 on:** May 25, 2013, 01:44:33 AM »

Eric, Luke and I should be able to make it. We'll probably get there close to 11AM. Is that an OK time? I'm going to the first game of our girl's soccer tournament at 8AM.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone.

Mike

Bryon · « **Reply #28 on:** May 25, 2013, 02:29:58 AM »

That should be great. See you there!

Also, current plan is to get lunch at Subway (some of us may walk) and dinner at In-n-Out.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #29 on:** May 30, 2013, 03:22:40 AM »

Whens the next tournament or playgroup?

Bryon · « **Reply #30 on:** May 30, 2013, 10:27:31 AM »

The State tournament is tentatively planned for June 29. The new cards will be used for Sealed Deck.

The Regional will be after July 4. The new set will be legal for all events.

We will probably be having a playgroup meeting on a Sunday afternoon before June 29. I'll try to keep you updated on this thread.

cooldudejsw · « **Reply #31 on:** June 02, 2013, 02:49:14 AM »

Of course...june 29th is the day of a wedding i am in...hmmm....god doesnt wamt me playing ehh? Grrrr

Will State be on June 29th? I am planning on coming down that day so I hope there's a tournament to play in

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #33 on:** June 17, 2013, 02:23:10 AM »

Remnants of Marcus' group will be coming (aka me) for State and my brothers and I will all be trying for Regionals.

Looking on Bryon's website I could not help but notice that the schedule has both the booster draft and the sealed decks at the same time. Is this true for State or for Regional or for both? Just wondering if that is the tentative schedule because then I will have to make the hard decision of choosing between which new cards I want to play with first!

Thanks!

Possible schedule

BLOCK 1: Saturday 9 am - 2 pm
Type 2 2-player
Type 1 multi-player

BLOCK 2: Saturday 2 am - 5 pm
Type 1 2-player
Type 2 multi-player

BLOCK 3: Saturday 5 pm - 8 pm
Sealed Deck 2-player OR Teams
Booster Draft multi-player

sk · « **Reply #34 on:** June 17, 2013, 03:52:16 AM »

It'll be great to see some of you again.

That schedule hasn't been used in some time. Since most players will want to play both sealed categories, I expect Bryon won't have them conflict.

Bryon · « **Reply #35 on:** June 17, 2013, 09:02:38 AM »

sk is correct. That is an old schedule. In fact, we are only playing 5 categories this year.

Booster Draft and Sealed Deck will be held at different times, since I expec those to be very popular categories. The other 3 categories are Type 1 2-player, Type 2 2-player, and Teams.

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #36 on:** June 17, 2013, 02:53:42 PM »

Alright, that's great! Good to know! Is there going to be an officaial posted schedule anytime soon?

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #37 on:** June 25, 2013, 01:09:36 PM »

When is TEAMS going to be? I would like to know because I need to know if I have to have a TEAMS deck or a T2 2P deck in case those are scheduled to be at the same time, and I would also need a partner for TEAMS!

Bryon · « **Reply #38 on:** June 26, 2013, 09:34:20 AM »

Since there are 5 categories and we have a hard end time, I'm going to set up the schedule on the day of the event. Most likely, everyone will get to register for 2 events on Saturday am, and then I'll put the schedule together so that everyone is gets to do what they want.

So, assume you will get to do the two categories you care the most about, and I'll do my best to make that happen.

Kyp Henderson · « **Reply #39 on:** June 26, 2013, 01:04:34 PM »

Alright thanks!

Isildur · « **Reply #40 on:** June 27, 2013, 08:35:52 PM »

Hey Bryon is there any particular reason the new cards wont be legal at the State tourney? I see no reason why we cant use them... I dont think any of us in attendance would really mind.
