That was a great tournament man even though Chad messed my 1st place (5 in a row i think) streak in multiplayer! Like the wise Ricky Bobby quote "if u ain't first, you're last". Lol I'm playing I love the competition. My first booster draft was embarrassing tho. I might not make the next one tho.

Congratulations, again, Jacob on your Type 1-2 Player streak. I find it absolutely amazing that you prevent your opponents from winning Lost Souls when time after time it seems like they are saying, ", O.K. Stop that," knowing you can't and then you do! I appreciate the efforts your playgroup make to get to each tournament, your play styles, and character and integrity.

See you mid-October.

Chad, I never underestitmate you. I love your competitive spirit and value your friendship and look forward to beating you next time around with my Type 1 (no EC) multi-player deck.

Jon, I have a free Haaman's Plot for you next time I see you. You are the first player I've seen rip one of those babies, since my son would do it regularly several years ago.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #55 on:** September 25, 2010, 09:53:59 AM »

Ben, you get free admission to the next 4 tournament events (and free pizza to the next 2 tournaments) of your choice. I appreciate what your presence has meant to our playgroup.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #56 on:** September 25, 2010, 09:57:05 AM »

7 days until the next Texas tournament. It's a Local. I sent in the results earlier in the week to our last District Tournament, and I placed an order for Disciples packs. Now, just pray that I don't open just 1 pack......when I get them.

Thanks Terry you are the reason I'm still playing today. That Chad battle was epic, watching Jon rip a hamans plot cus he thought he had hamans gallows was hard to watch, Chad coming up on top in multiplayer with a deck he wasn't familiar with was nothing short of amazing, Ben giving away literally thousands of cards to the new generation was everything this game is all about, my beautiful girl Luz managed to get second a third time in a row (I created a monster!) Can't wait for the next.

Amen, Brother! Your creative ability to build decks for your friends has helped create such a wonderful and healthy competitive environment. We will miss you next weekend but that will give others 2 more chances to win, place or show. I am looking forward to your rivalry with Chad.

The saga continues October 16th.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #59 on:** September 26, 2010, 02:20:44 PM »

Two more first time players will join us this weekend, Noah and Drake. We also hope to welcome Sadness to our playgroup.

Terry, I plan to be around for awhile! My life and the lives of my friends have been impacted by the tournaments you've been hosting for years. Also, if you would like to give me some dates your church is available I wouldn't mind hosting a few tournaments to relieve you from some of the burden. I am also talking with Ben about finding somewhere capable of holding tournaments. I love the new competition! I haven't come up with the deck I am going to be playing in T1 2p this year yet, but I'm diligently working on my next masterpiece!

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #61 on:** September 27, 2010, 07:57:37 AM »

Thanks, Chad.

Just keep your eyes on Him. He is the one who has been blessing you guys, and blessing us through you, too. I will let you and Ben know of some dates that the church will be available. I was thinking about sending an application for a District Tournament on November 6th and December 18th.

I also spoke to some fairly influential people in the Dallas area about doing some advertising for Redemption among a group of pastors and youth leaders. That could prove to be quite interesting.

See you on Saturday.

Thanks, Terry!

This Saturday, Chad and I will hopefully be bringing two of our friends to the tournament, and both of them know how to play.

Hey all. I'm hoping to come to the district on the 16th, but no promises.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #64 on:** September 28, 2010, 12:44:15 PM »

That would be great. If you can, spread the word to anyone else that might like to join us. There will be at least 4 kids with very little to no game playing time.

dallas tx Jacob · « **Reply #65 on:** September 29, 2010, 01:46:39 AM »

good news, im gonna make it to the next one this saturday. the deck i made for luz is looking like it can really cause me (mainly me) and everybody some trouble so dnt focus too much on me cus she is definetly a beast. i also got a lampstand for trade, so ben hit me up!

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #66 on:** September 29, 2010, 07:34:04 AM »

Fantastic. Now I will work on a Type 2 deck. See you guys Saturday. Again, we may hit 20 players. Havent done that in years.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #67 on:** September 29, 2010, 10:28:03 PM »

I am sorry to report that one of our church members mothers has passed away. Her service will be at the Life Church.

We will need to make sure we wrap things up by 2 pm. I will try to get everything going by 9:15 am and play 2 rounds of each type of gm. I want to thank you all in advance for your understanding.
We will have a full schedule will multiple rounds on the 16thth of October.

See you Saturday. I think we will have 17-20 players. Wow.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #68 on:** October 02, 2010, 07:24:58 PM »

Great tournament. 13 players participated in our local.

It was great to see Aaron Burt and Jordan Drott retrurn to the Redemption scene. Each of them had successful comebacks. Jordan came in 1st in Type 1-Multi Player and 2nd in Type 1-2 Player, while Aaron finished 2nd and 3rd in those events.

Chad Soderstrom continued his successful return with a 1st place finish in Type 1-2 Player. Alas, multi-player seemed to confound the poor lad.

Ben Shadrick continued to dominate Type 2 scoring victories in both the 2 player and multi-player events. Newcomer Xavier Mendoza scored a victory in Closed Deck and his broth Noel placed 2nd. Noah Johnson a first time player took 3rd place honors. Marcus Rutledge placed 3rd in T1-multi-player

Marcus Parker took 2nd place in both of the Type 2 events while Terry Markoff finished 3rd in the T2-Multi-Player event.

We are looking for a record number of participants for the next district tournament in 2 weeks (10/16).

I agree great tournament. I talked to Ben,Chad,Aaron nd Jordan and they said they will play booster draft so I will too. I'm sure I can convince cj and Marcus to play it too so the next tournament will be better Im sure. this was the first time in my redemption career I didn't place in either category but I love the return of the veterans.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #70 on:** October 03, 2010, 08:24:28 AM »

Well said. I hope Luz and Miguel will be able to make it to the tournament.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #71 on:** October 03, 2010, 06:47:27 PM »

I am going to fax applications for 2 more District Tournaments tomorrow. They will be Saturday 11/20 and Saturday December 18.

Hope to see you all in 2 weeks for the Oct 16th District Tournament. I will be faxing a request for a local sometime between the beginning of November and Dec 19th. It will be at the Life Church on a Sunday with a start time at about 10:45 am. Type 1-2 Player will be offered.

Jonathan, Son of Joiada will be the next promo.

The Nov 20th and Dec 18th District Tournaments were faxed this morning.

Whew, the Life Church is going to need to replace its floors with all the foot traffic its getting.
Be advised guys(and girls),the closer we get to major holidays,the more than likely, folks will be paying less attention to their driving and more to the cellphones,shopping lists,etc. Also,police will be out in force. So,watch your driving as well as your speeding. We don't want people telling saint peter,"we were on our way to a redemption tournament when THAT happened!" Drive safe and looking forward to seeing you there.

God Bless you and keep you safe,

Sadness
