Congratualtions to Aaron Burt for winning the Ironman Competition.
Congratulations to the 16 Texas National Championship participants.

My personal favorite memory was the first day during Closed Deck when we were about to start round 7 after I looked at the rankings. There were 6 members of our little play group in the top 10. Cool.

Post by: RedemptionAggie on August 05, 2007, 10:45:25 PM: What's the promo at the tournament?
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on August 06, 2007, 07:46:05 AM: Sorry, Marcus. The promo is the new Captured Ark. Looking forward to seeing how many new Faith of Our Fathers make it into Type 1 and 2 decks this year.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on August 06, 2007, 09:35:11 AM: I've got a Blue/Silver type-1 deck with a Gold/Gray Emperor defense that looks pretty good.

I haven't quite gotten all the cards I need for type-2 though.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on August 06, 2007, 11:36:08 AM: That's comforting, Ben.
September 22nd. Be there.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on August 11, 2007, 04:27:34 PM: 2 Questions Terry,

1. Are you going to add Patriarchs and Angel Wars to the Booster Draft? Or just use the FooF Tin and what comes in it.

2. Are there going to be FooF Tins for sale at the tournament? If there are, I'm sure I will buy 2 or 3 and other people would too.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on August 14, 2007, 12:28:20 PM: Ben,

Good questions. I am thinking about adding Angel Wars and Patriarchs but the cost may be prohibitive. It will cost me $300 for the tins (20 tins-enough for the booster draft and then some left for sale, I'm thinking) and another $50 or so for the extra packs (Angel W and Pat.). I would have to charge $20 for Booster Draft to do that. If you guys are alright with that, I'll place the order. Let me know what you all are thinking.

Terry
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on August 14, 2007, 01:31:43 PM: You could order 2 complete sets of tins from Covenant Games for $270. That would save a little.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on August 14, 2007, 03:14:19 PM: Thanks, Marcus.
I will
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on August 14, 2007, 08:40:50 PM: Terry,

Nah, $20 is a little too much for booster. I'm not even playing Booster Draft this year, I was just curious.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: The ARk on August 15, 2007, 04:24:30 AM: I apologize for not finding you ar nationals. I intended to try and meet you.

I hear you met some of my guys. Silas at least. He said your style of silver was powerful.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: casponos_the_great on August 28, 2007, 09:24:42 PM: Congrats Ben, Chad. I hope to see all of you on the 22nd...but who knows what mysterious wanderings lie beyond the foggy path of schoolwork?

:P Don't ask...the point was I don't know my schedule this fall yet, but I hope to see you guys on the 22nd. :D
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on September 09, 2007, 03:15:13 PM: Hey Terry,

I had a quick question I need to run by you. I might be getting a good amount of Warriors and Womens packs, and thought about holding a side event during the lunch hour. It would be something like this...

X-TREME BOOSTER
Come and enjoy all the fun of Booster Draft, but with a slight twist!
Each player will get the following:
Unlimited Booster Pack
Prophets Booster Pack
Womens Booster Pack
Warriors Booster Pack
Patriarchs Booster Pack
Apostles Booster Pack
Kings Booster Pack
Angel Wars Booster Pack
Priest Booster Pack
(Possibly 10 FoOF cards also)

You're probably thinking "WOW! Warriors Packs! How much is this gonna cost me?"
It will only cost you $25! (Unless I add 10 FoOF cards, then $30)

This event will be held in the lunch hour of the September 22nd Tournament, and possible a little extra time to get 2 or 3 games in.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: casponos_the_great on September 09, 2007, 05:05:48 PM: I wish I could come; but I have complicated plans the night before. If there's anyone from Gateway that wouldn't mind me spending the night and are going to the Live Worship Recording, tell me! :D
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on September 10, 2007, 03:51:53 PM: Hey, Ben. If you can swing that, we'll do it. It will be fun to play that format.
Terry
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on September 18, 2007, 12:08:54 PM: Yes! We are still alive and well in Texas. We will meet Saturday, Sept. 22nd, at 9 am at the church. We will do the multi player games in the mornging and the 2 player games after the lunch break.

Booster Draft will be $12 to enter. Closed deck $10 with a $5 buyback for the complete G or H set returned in playable condition. Unwanted drafted cards, lost souls and other doubles you have no use for will be appreciated and redistributed to new players.

Bring a friend who has never attended a Dallas tournament and receive a free pack for each registered new player you brang.

Looking forward to Saturday. See you then.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on September 18, 2007, 06:53:24 PM: Looking forward to it!

I have some bad news though, Jordan Drott is moving to Colorado in November so he will only be attending the next couple tournaments. :'(

Is this a change, or a typo? It was the other way around in the original post.

Booster Draft will be $12 to enter.

Does this include Patriarchs packs, or just the FoOF tins?

I have the same question as Marcus, but it could also be that Angel Wars could be added in.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on September 20, 2007, 06:12:21 AM: I switched the events to accomodate a player who would like to play Booster but cannot stay for the afternoon session. I will consider adding both Patriarchs and Angel Wars. Probably at least one of the 2.

See you guys on Saturday.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on September 20, 2007, 12:32:34 PM: Okay, then I'll be playing Booster, since I can't stay for the afternoon session. Neeka's not coming, since it's the school year and she has band.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on September 20, 2007, 04:24:32 PM: Aww Marcus isn't playing Type-2 Multi :(

Well, hopefully Buddy and Bethany will :-\
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on September 24, 2007, 12:03:31 PM: I am hoping to host a Closed Local on Friday evening, November 2nd, and a District Tournament on Saturday, November 3rd. Stayed tuned for details and confirmation.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on November 05, 2007, 04:37:32 PM: Just a reminder about this weekend's tournaments. A local at my house Friday evening starting around 7 pm. I am expected (counting me) between 5-7 players.
There will be 2 events offered. Closed Deck is free if the player returns the G/H deck in playing excellent condition. The other event will be determined that evening.

Saturday (at the church) we will continue the weekend festivities with a District Tournament. The start time is 10:30 am. It will run until 5 or 6 pm.
I expect between 10-15 players to attend.

Terry
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on November 08, 2007, 07:11:02 PM: Terry,

Just an update about me and the group that tags along. Me, Jordan, and Chad will most likely attend the local tournament (there's a good 90% we'll be there, and will definately be at the District.) but Aaron cannot attend the Local, he can go to the district though.

Thanks,
Ben
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on November 08, 2007, 10:50:17 PM: Cool. Brett cannot make it. The kids from church might go to the district. Not sure about Marcus. Probably just you guys. If you cannot attend Friday evening then no one will be there but me. I might then try to run it after the District on Saturday.
Terry
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on November 08, 2007, 11:28:19 PM: I'm presently too busy/lazy to build decks, so I'd be limited to closed deck/BD, which I don't currently have the cash for. I may come Saturday afternoon for Booster, but probably not tomorrow night.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on January 06, 2008, 10:33:39 AM: Happy New Year!

With our first Texas District Tournament of the new year behind us, we look forward to the challenges ahead. Sadly we face this year without 2 members of our playgroup.

Chad Soderstrom has decided to join the circus. He will be billed as Jo Jo the Dogfaced boy and Mimi, the Bearded Woman. Actually Chad sold most of his collection and is looking forward to purchasing his first car. We will miss him but wish nothing but blessings upon his life.

We also congratulate the Denver Redemption area as Jordan Drott's family has moved to Colorodo Springs. Your gain is our loss. (Don't let him eat or drink anything with sugar in it).

Back to the tournament results.
Booster Draft: Buddy Dunn took first place for the second time in a row.
Ben Shadrick took second and Terry Markoff, third. Lots of laughter as Ben was stuck with orange and failed to see anything helpful during the draft.
Closed Deck: Terry Markoff took first place while newcommer Daniel Burt took second and Buddy Dunn, third.
Type 2-2 Player: A bit of a surprise as Aaron Burt took first place, Bethany Dunn took second place and Ben Shadrick, third.
Type 2-Multi: Ben Shadrick came roaring back and took first place honors in the multi event. Buddy Dunn took second place and Bethany Dunn, third.
There was a blow out as Aaron Burt won all three of his Type 1-2 Player games. Jonathan Myers placed second.
Type1-Multi was also won by Aaron Burt. Terry Markoff and Daniel Burt tied for 2nd place.

We hope to see our Waco and East Tx friends March 1st, when we will play again.

Sorry Terry but you haven't gotten rid of me yet. lol I have come to far in this game to quit now. ;) I hope to be at all the remaining tournaments. Hope to see you next time, and I hope to see everyone at natz this year. Can't wait already!

Post by: Terry Markoff on April 02, 2008, 02:35:17 PM: "Players! Sleeve and shuffle your cards, please." Our first Texas Tournament since...hmm. Well, we are back. My son just got married. Wedding planning and preparations no longer take up my weekends. We are reafdy to go. Please join us this Saturday, April 5th, at 9:00 am at The Life Church in Dallas, TX (on the NorthWest corner of Alpha and hillcrest roads).

Out of state guests are welcome. Looking for the Waco, East Texas, and a new Dallas church group to participate. Ben, Aaron and Circus boy Chad Soderstrom will be attending.

Hope to see 20+ at this event.

I hope to host States in late May and Regionals in July.

Call or e-mail me if you have any questions. (972)948 2304.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on April 03, 2008, 12:45:33 PM: Please let me know if you plan to attend the District Tournament this Saturday.

I believe that the following probably will be attending:

East Texas: Jason plus 3 or 4 from his play group
Waco: Blake and several of his family and friends may join us
DallasFt. Worth: Aaron, Ben, Chad, Sheika, Jonathan, Rohan, Terry, Buddy, a small? playgroup from an area church
Unsure: Marcus and his sister Nika, Bethany

$2 will cover cost of pizza (lunch)

Should be exciting if everyone shows.

Stay tuned for news about the Texas State tournament coming in late May or early June.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on April 06, 2008, 12:08:48 AM: Today's tournament was fantastic. Four players new to our group joined us today. Thank you Cactus website and message boards.

Results in the morning session included a first place finish for Aaron Burt in Type 1-2 Player, a second place finish by Buddy Dunn and a third place finish by newcommer and first time tournament player, Isaac Aldana.

Closed Deck results showed Jason Litchfield easily beating the field and Terry Markoff grabbing second place (only because only 2 players participated in this event.

Type 2-2 Player results included another win by Ben shaddrick and a second place finish by Bethany Dunn.

Six boxes of pizza were consumed in about 15 minutes during the lunch break. A new record for pizzas and time taken to devour them.

The afternoon session provided some interesting matchups. Four members of a south Dallas church battled for 3 rounds in the Type1-Multi-Player event. When the dust cleared, Marcus Rutledge and Jhovanny Aldana shared first place while John Jacob Martinez finished third, just 1/6th of a point behind his friends. All three young men were playing in their first sanctioned tournament.

Ben Shadrick once again won Booster Draft while Sheika Dammala place second and Terry Markoff just beat out Rohan Dammala for third place.

Finally, Aaron Burt won a grueling battle with 3 other players in the Type 2-Multi-Player event. Buddy Dunn placed second while Jason Litchfield took third place.

We are hoping to host the Texas State Tournament at The Life Church in late May or early June and the South Central Regionals in July. Stay tuned for more information. Out of state players are cordially invited to join us.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on April 22, 2008, 10:32:06 AM: I sent in a request to host the Texas State Tournament which if approved, it will be a one day event at The Life Church in Dallas, TX (located at the NW corner of Hillcrest and Alpha roads) starting bright and early with players having two choices. They may participate in Closed Deck ($10 entry fee) or Booster Draft Player (for $12) to begin at 8:00 am Saturday, June 2nd. Participants, there will be a $5 Registration fee to help the host defray the cost of the product used.

At approximately (no sooner) 11:00 am two more events will be offered. Type 1-2 Player ($2) and Type 2-2 Player ($2) will be held. A lunch break of approximately 1 hour will be inserted some time during these two events. As usual, we will send out for pizza. A donation of $2 a player will allow you all the pizza you can eat.

The final two catergories will be held within 20 minutes of the final Type 1 and 2 games. Players may choose between Type 1-Multi-Player ($2) or Type 2-Multi-Player ($2). These events might continue well into the evening (probably after 8 pm) so please communicate this to loved ones and/or friends who will be providing you a ride home.

I am looking forward to a record number of players joining us this year. For you out of staters, know that the competition will be stiff as Ben Shadrick, Chad Soderstrom and Aaron Burt all plan to attend. State promos will be given to all paid participants.

Please let me know if you plan to attend and (if you know) what events you will be playing so I may have plenty of product available.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on May 13, 2008, 10:38:26 PM: ATTENTION ALL TEXAS REDEMPTION PLAYERS!

I am truly sorry for the lack of communication and the delays in posting the Texas State and South Central Regional Tournaments.

I hope I have met with my final obstacles. I posted the Texas State Tournament for June 13th and Saturday, June 14th. Closed Deck and Booster will be on the Friday. Closed Deck will begin at approximately 10:30 am. Booster will start at the conclusion of the Closed Deck final round. Please let me know, if you can, whether you will be attending either event. I need to purchase the materials this week for both Closed Deck and Booster Draft. Closed Deck will be $10 and Booster $12 to register. There will also be a one time $5 registration fee to participate in this tournament.

Saturday will kick off with Type-1 and Type 2 2 Player events. They will be followed by the multi-player events in the late afternoon (probably around 4 pm).

There will be a lunch break each day. Everyone is on their own, but if you want I can provide all the pizza and cold drinks for a nominal $2 charge.

We have around 30 potential players. I hope to see the folks from South Dallas, Dallas, the surrounding suburbs, Waco and East Texas. A hearty Howdy to our Arkansas neighbors. I hope you can attend, too.

I will be posting more information as I am able.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on May 14, 2008, 10:43:41 AM: Hey Terry,

I'll be going both days and be playing Closed Deck, Booster Draft, Type-2 2 player, and Type-2 multi-player.

I'm not 100% sure that Aaron will be able to go, he is leaving June 7th to go out of town and I'm not sure when he's coming back.

If he is back in time, he'll probably play Closed Deck, Booster Draft, Type-1 2 player, and Type-1 multi-player. (not sure about type-1 2 player though.)

Looking forward to it!
Ben

I do believe that I will be able to offer lodgings in the church for those that might need that type of assistance. Please let me know if you plan to attend, the categories you will be playing and if you will need a place to stay (the church).

Attention all out of towners and out of staters. I do believe that I will be able to offer lodgings in the church for those that might need that type of assistance. Please let me know if you plan to attend, the categories you will be playing and if you will need a place to stay (the church).

My mom really doesn't want to pick me up and drive back the next morning. So if there are others planning on lodging, I'd like to just bring a sleeping bag and stay at the church.

If there isn't anyone else staying at the church, my mom said she'd come pick me and Jordan up. (99% sure Jordan is coming, unless something drastic happend and his family reunion gets canceled.)

CAN'T WAIT 'TIL THE TOURNAMENT!

Thanks,
Ben

Post by: imc4j on May 30, 2008, 01:00:15 AM: I'm 95% sure that I'm staying the night at the church. I'm not sure about the rest of my group. I think half might come both days and others just Saturday. I'm giving them info this next week and should have an estiment by Tueday night.

btw I'm doing both Booster and Closed and probably both type-2 but I'm not sure yet for the saturday stuff.

Post by: Lawfuldog on June 02, 2008, 01:01:25 PM: It's official.

Jordan will be at State! He will be playing Closed Deck, Booster Draft, Type-1 2 player, and Type-1 multi-player.

We will be spending the night at the church Friday.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on June 03, 2008, 10:15:12 AM: Thanks for the heads up Ben.

Buddy, I'll judge booster. Thanks for judging closed Deck. Play whatever you like saturday and I'll switch off withv u judging.

We will be sharing the church on saturday. Men's breakfast will go from 8:30 am to about 10 am. Then we will play the tournament in the main meeting area as you enter the building. The women of the life Church will be having a meeting most of the day in the sanctuary and the upstairs classrooms.

Counting down to 6/13. Only 10 more days.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on June 03, 2008, 11:41:38 AM: Sorry for all this back and forth on who's coming. But, Aaron's parents might let him fly back early and stay with me so he'll be able to go to State.

So Aaron, might be there.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on June 03, 2008, 02:57:31 PM: I can judge multi on Saturday, if both of you would like to play.

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on June 04, 2008, 11:31:40 PM: Ben, any word on whether or not Chad will be playing?
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: imc4j on June 05, 2008, 02:01:21 PM: So Tuesday I had one of my guys show up and the parents for one other. I think that Vincent, the one that showed up, will only be there Friday morning. His family is spending that weekend in Dallas but seeing how he has to do stuff with his is family he can't be there the whole time. There was talk he may be there Saturday but I think it was finalized for just Friday morning Closed Deck. I didn't get confermations from Jose's mom on what he's doing but I wouldn't be surpised if he came both days mostly because I may be the only way he can get out there. I'm going to make a few phone calls to see it I can set some more names.

To those staying at the church: I'm bringing a few board games for that evening. On the list right now is Risk, Star Wars Risk, Pirate of the Caribbean Life, Settlers of Canaan, and possibly Settlers of Catan (it's not mine so I'm not sure yet) and around two dozen decks of playing cards so we could play any card game you can think of. We don't have to play any of them I just though it would be nice to have a few options.

Post by: Terry Markoff on June 10, 2008, 11:47:09 PM: Remember, both days will be long. Bring snacks, sleeping bags if you are staying at the church, money for lunches, dinner, etc. Saturday morning a hot breakfast, compliments of the men of The Life Church, will be provided.

3 days to go.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on June 11, 2008, 11:33:42 AM: 2 DAYS TO GO

Buddy, will you and Bethany be playing Type-2 on saturday?
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Blood Bought Believer on June 11, 2008, 06:58:36 PM: Ben,

That is the plan at this point. Bethany will not be there Friday (she has a summer semester class at Eastfield), but she is planning to play Saturday (she prefers Type 2 anyway). If Marcus judges multi on Saturday, I should be available to play both categories of Type 2.

Judging from responses, I would think Marcus (except for multi) and Neeka will be playing Type 2, along with Jason, Bethany, you and me (and possibly Aaron)...we should have a good group for Type 2.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on June 11, 2008, 07:06:01 PM: Aaron will be playing Type-1.

So thats a nice even number, 6.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: imc4j on June 11, 2008, 07:07:02 PM: I was wondering if we have a count on people staying at the church and how many of those people have cars. I'm mostly wondering for dinner Friday night. Are we going to have room to car pool somewhere or just send a couple people to pick something up? I doubt we want to have pizza for 3 meals in the weekend.

Is there a Chinese place that delivers in the area? I'm just thinking through options.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Blood Bought Believer on June 11, 2008, 07:10:57 PM: Jason...I don't know if I will be staying the night Friday, but I'll probably stay late if I don't (and I will have a vehicle). I would think that Terry would be staying around, as well, so there should be some kind of transportation available...besides WHAT"S WRONG WITH PIZZA? ;)

Ben...Yeah, but if Marcus judges during multi that leaves FIVE.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on June 11, 2008, 07:12:13 PM: The plan wasn't for more than 1 of Neeka and I to play T2, at least now that I've looked into building decks. Neither of us has really played since Nationals, so accounting for FoOF in a T2 deck would take some time.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Blood Bought Believer on June 11, 2008, 07:13:29 PM: ...and the count dwindles...

If we end up on an odd number, I can play something else...or judge so Terry can play.

Marcus...you mean you're not going to play the same deck you have played for the last two years? :D
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: imc4j on June 11, 2008, 07:20:39 PM: Cool thing Buddy I just want to have some idea.

With Type 2 I'm flexible also.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on June 11, 2008, 07:22:06 PM: I've been playing it longer than that, and Orange and Jacob/RTC cause some issues with that deck. If one of us plays T2, that will be offense, for the most part, I think.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on June 12, 2008, 12:09:48 AM: Jason, I will be staying at the church as will Aaron, Ben, and Jordan. Add to that the folks you are coming with. There are alot of fast food options. I am sure there is Chinese in the area. Many places deliver.

I appreciate Buddy and Marcus for volunteering to judge. At the moment I beleive Buddy is judging Closed Deck on Friday. I will be judging Booster in the afternoon-evening.

Saturday, I figured I would judge the Type 1 and Type2 2 Player events while Marcus judges the evening multi events.

2 days to go.

As things are looking I'm the only one staying the night. Several people haven't come for the last 2 weeks so I wasn't able to spread the word that well. One of my guys is coming Friday for closed deck in the morning, but he's spending the rest of the weekend with his family. Hopefully we can get more for Regionals.

See ya tomorrow.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on June 13, 2008, 01:32:16 AM: This is a change from earlier in the week, but Neeka and I may both play T2 - either way, I'll try to bring a T1 deck so we can be flexible.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on June 14, 2008, 11:56:58 PM: The Texas State results.

Closed Deck: First Place: Aaron Burt
Second: John Jacob Martinez
Third: Isaac Aldana
Booster Draft: First Place: Jordan Drott
Second: Aaron Burt
Third: Neeka Parker
Type 1-2 Player: First Place: Aaron Burt
Second: Jordan Drott
Third: Isaac Aldana
Type 2-Multi: First Place: Jordan Drott
Second: John Jacob Martinez, Buddy Dunn (tie)
Type 2-2 Player: First Place: Ben Shadrick
Second: Marcus Parker
Third: Buddy Dunn
Type 2-Multi: First Place: Jason Litchfield
Second: Bethany Dunn
Third: Ben Shadrick

Nine different players placed. We had several new players. Watch out for Isaac Aldana and John Jacob Martinez. They shined.

Not surprisingly Jordan Drott, Ben Shadrick and Aaron Burt won 5 of the 6 events. They are good!

A great time was had by all, even newcommers Marcus Rutledge, Zack Reynolds, Jhovanny Aldana, Vincent Villalobos and I had a good time, even though we were not able to place.

We are all looking forward to Regionals on Friday and Saturday (July 18th and 19th).

Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on June 28, 2008, 10:22:14 AM: Dallas, TX is proud to host this year's South Central Regional Tournament this year. The fun begins at 10 am Friday, July 18th with Closed Deck. There will be a $5 one time registration fee to play this tournament to help defray the cost of hosting this event. Ben Shadrick, your fee is waived because you returned a complete G/H boxed set in mintlike condition. We will play 5 rounds. Sometime during this event, there will be a lunch break. Players can order pizza (all you can eat) for $2 or go to one of the many fine restuarants (fastfood places) in the area. Around 3:30ish we will begin Booster Draft. If you return a complete set (one of your doubles, I would presume) of one of the Faith of Our Fathers sets before we start this event, you will receive a free pack of cards (your choice) and an 8" by 11" glossy photo of Brett ripping a Haman's Plot against Chad, or $5.

Closed Deck: $10
Booster Draft: $12

Saturday, July 19th will open with Type 1-2 Player and Type 2-2 Player events beginning with Deck Registration at about 8:30 am. We will play 5 or 6 rounds of Type 1 and 3 or 4 rounds of Type 2. We will take a lunch break around 12 noon. At about 3:30 ish, we will play the Type 2 events. 3 rounds of multi, Type 1 and 2 rounds of multi, Type 2.
Out of town, out of state, out of mind players welcome. Bring a first time player to a Dallas tournament and both the new player and the bringer will receive a free pack of Priests (one per player limit). The count down has begun. There are only 20 days left.

Type 1 and Type 2: $2 per event.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Terry Markoff on July 03, 2008, 10:26:47 PM: Two Weeks to go. Please let me know if you plan on playing Booster Draft as I have a limited number of tins avaiable. I ordered 10 from Three Lions two weeks ago but have not received them yet.

Buddy, do you have any extras?
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: Lawfuldog on July 03, 2008, 10:40:17 PM: I will be playing Sealed Deck and Booster Draft, as will Aaron. I'm not sure on the open categories yet.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: RedemptionAggie on July 03, 2008, 10:58:39 PM: IF Neeka comes on Friday, she'll play Booster. She's got orientation up at UNT from Wednesday until Friday morning, so she doesn't even know if she'll feel like coming Friday afternoon.

I'll play T22P on Saturday and can judge multi. Neeka would probably prefer to play T2 on Saturday, although that's flexible.
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: imc4j on July 07, 2008, 04:28:28 PM: I plan on playing Sealed, booster, Type 2 multi, but I can do either for 2 player. I know that one of my guys is coming but he is only playing Saturday, Type 1.

Terry If you don't get your tins by midday on the thursday before give me a call and I can buy some out here and bring them. I think our store only has 5 or 6 of them but if you need them i can get them. btw the got a new cell number I emailed it to you but if you didn't get it PM me and I send it again.

Closed Deck: 1st: Ben Shadrick; 2nd: Jason Litchfield; 3rd: Chad Soderstrom
Booster: 1st: Chad Soderstrom; 2nd: Ben Shadrick; 3rd: Aaron Burt

The question is: How did Jason squeak in there?

Type 1-2Player: 1st: Aaron Burt; 2nd: Joseph Shaefer; 3rd: Jose Rios

Notice Chad did not win a single game.

Type 1-Multi: 1st: Ben Shadrick; 2nd: Terry Markoff; 3rd: Joseph Schaefer

Type 2-2 Player: 1st: Ben Shadrick; 2nd: Marcus Parker; 3rd: Buddy Dunn

Type 2-Multi: 1st: Chad Soderstrom; 2nd: Aaron Burt; 3rd: Jason Litchfield

A great time was had by all. A special thanks to Marcus and Buddy for helping me with the judging. A special thanks to the East Texas playgroup for driving several hours top participate.

Next tournament will be in September, probably a local and a District. You all have a great time at Nationals.

Type-1 2player
1st Jason Litchfield
2nd Jose Rios

Type-1 Multi

2nd David Lutmer (hasn't been to any Dallas torments yet)

I will say they weren't making it easy on me. Amd starting in the fall I will be hosting Type 2 at my tournments as well so all you Type 2 players need to come out here so I'm not winning all the time.

Post by: Blood Bought Believer on January 29, 2009, 06:27:26 PM: Anybody heard from Terry lately?
Title: Re: Texas Tournament News
Post by: imc4j on February 02, 2009, 06:30:29 PM: Nope.

Oh and I would really like some prayers for my group out here. At the beginning of this semester, I had to stop leading it because I had a class during the at time and I don't have any evenings free to move it. As far as I know, they are still meeting and I still have contact info for most of them, so if there is a tourniment, I may still be able to bring some folks out.

Now time to hunt those Texans on hiatus!!! Chad S. (then just 14) was Nats 2006 champ, Ben S. (then just 13) was also 2006 Nats ranked for Sealed Deck. And Marcus P did not even imagine that time that he would one day become Redemption rules guru!!!

GOD IS GOOD!!!
