Hello,

How long do the sessions last? And does one haf to stay for it all? What incident are you talking about

God Bless,

Sadness

The sessions are pretty much morning (2-player) and afternoon (multi-player), with a break around lunch time in between. You don't have to stay for both sessions if you don't want to.

October 16th District Tournament results:

Type 2-2 Player 1st: Ben Shadrick
2nd: Marcus Parker

Type 2-Multi-Player 1st: Ben Shadrick
2nd: Marcus Parker
3rd: Terry Markoff

Type 2 went according to plan with Ben winning both events rather easily.

It was an interesting Closed Deck event with 6 relitively new players.
1st place was won by Noel Mendoza while the crowded field had 3 players tying for 2nd place. Alisha Rutledge, Noah Johnson and Chris Rutledge.

The Type 1-2 Player event was won by Jordan Drott. Jacob Martinez finished second and C.J. Jackson nabbed the 3rd spot.

Type 1-Multi-Player event went Jacob Martinez who is establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with. C.J. Jackson grabbed second place while Jordan Drott placed third.

The Booster Draft event went to Terry Markoff. Ben Shadrick rallied to win the 3rd game to place second. Jordan Drott placed third.

!4 participants played from 9 am to 5 pm. I believe a good time was had by all.

Next event will be the November 20th district Tournasment at the Life Church.. Hope to see a record number of players there.

I want to give a special welcome to long time collector and first time player Stephen. Thanks for joining our playgroup. We hope to see you at the next tournament. I am glad we were able to help you find so many of the cards you have been searching for to complete your collection. Thanks for driving all the way from Weatherford.

I also want to congratulate Jordan Drott for his first tournament victory since coming back to the game after a 3 year layoff. I also want to congratulate Noel Mendoza on his first tournament win and Noah for his first 2nd place finish. Both of these youngsters have been playing for one month. Of course, I want to congratulate Ben Shadrick for his 2 Type 2 event wins and Jacob Martinez for his Type 1-Multi-Player victory.

Hello, Guys and Lady, (Chris-no laughing)

I had a great time and want to think all y'all for showing my the ropes. To the black with purple streaks female, YOU WILL be defeated
next time. Hopefully, I'll remember what artifact to use. (Old testament blocks don't work on New testament Heroes) I appreciate all the
help I recieved from Marcus(RedemptionAggie) on identifying the cards I needed as what brigade they were, from Ben10

on trading for some
of the promos I needed and from Terry on the cards I purchased. (I do greatly appreicate the deal you made.) Looking forward to seeing y'all next time.

May God grant you peace in body and spirit though our Lord Jesus Christ,

Stephen

I just keep praising God for the play group we have. You are a very welcomed addition. By the way guys, Noah was so excited that he began teaching his cousin how to play, opened the practice game with prayer and gave his cousin lots of cards to start his own collection. Cool, huh. You all are such a good example to the little guy.

Sorry Couldn't make it last weekend. Had the in-laws in town for the weekend. Looks like I won't be able to make the next either. I'm doing Thanksgiving with the in-laws in Nov since we'll be in MI for Thanksgiving and I'm graduating in Dec. Hopefully you can do a better job scheduling them in the spring

Rangers Win! Rangers Win!

You are such a welcome addition to our playgroup Stephen. Looking forward to the next event

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #86 on:** October 23, 2010, 12:57:39 AM »

Jason, we are looking forward to you joining us whenever that might be. We are having a great time with a rejuvinated playgroup this year. We have someones old, someones new, someones borrowed (Jordan from Colorado), and someones blue (Sadness). We have the makings of the best year yet in Texas! GO RANGERS!

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #87 on:** October 27, 2010, 06:42:10 PM »

Hey, Texas. Check out those tournament rankings. Go Rangers

Hey everybody, I'm Justin Cannady! Just got back into the game!! I have been playing for years but have not playing for a long time. Need to figure out all the cards I need so I can build a tourny worthy deck. I know the tournaments are held in dallas, but are there any players in the Fort Worth area?? I live in Glen Rose and am about 1 hour from Ft Worth, 2 hours from Dallas. Would be great to have some players close to my area. Anyways can't wait to make it to a tournament!

God Bless

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #89 on:** November 01, 2010, 01:18:00 AM »

Great, Justin. We have a number of people here that could help you with the cards. Many for free. We meet about once a month for tournaments. Our next tournament is a district on November 20th. It will start at approx 9 am. Location: The Life Church at the intersection of Hillcrest and Alpha roads.

We have a player from weatherford and another from Tyler, but most of our playgroup live in the Dallas area. Hope to see you soon. My cell is 972 948 2304. Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions. My name is Terry.

Justicewarrior88 · « **Reply #90 on:** November 01, 2010, 05:08:08 AM »

That's great I can't wait to make it to a tournament! Do y'all ever meet up and play when it's not a tournament??

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #91 on:** November 01, 2010, 07:50:11 AM »

Some of the guys might, but I don't think they have recently. Ben would for sure. He's already been quoted as saying that he'd play every weekend if he could. He is part of a group of four players that come regularly to our tournaments. Best thing to do is to ask them yourself when you see us.

Looking forward to meeting you in person.
Terry

Sadness · « **Reply #92 on:** November 02, 2010, 09:37:49 PM »

Terry,

How many cards do you allow in type 1 and type 2?

Thanks, Stephen

RedemptionAggie · « **Reply #93 on:** November 03, 2010, 12:35:17 AM »

By rule, Type 1 decks have to be between 50-154 cards. Type 2 decks can be between 100-252 cards. Terry probably doesn't (and can't) enforce other limits.

For deck checking, T2 decks need to be organized (all copies of the same card together, all cards of the same alignment together - good/evil/neutral) to be able to check it in any decent amount of time. It's probably also a good idea to organize T1 decks over probably 70 cards, so it's easier to catch duplicate cards that aren't supposed to be there. (Technically, all decks are supposed to be organized, but it's easier to remember/catch mistakes in the usual 50/56/63 card decks than larger decks.)

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #94 on:** November 03, 2010, 06:35:51 PM »

Thanks, Marcus. November 20th! Be there.

Three more brand new players were introduced to the game last Sunday. Cheyenne and Taylor, brother sister and another adult, David, were excited about the game and will probably try to make it to the next tournament.

Hope to see close to 20 players at next tournament.

Sadness · « **Reply #95 on:** November 03, 2010, 10:09:18 PM »

Guys,

Hate to ask this,sure I'll get some kidding on this

What is the tournament schedule again?
Correct me if I'm wrong

Closed deck
Type 1 (50-100 cards)
Type 2 (100-252 cards)
Booster-by the way,what is a booster

Sadness

May God bless us and Christ shower us with His Love and Mercy

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #96 on:** November 03, 2010, 10:25:31 PM »

We have 2 tournaments coming up. Both are District. November 20th six events will be offered. Closed Deck, Both type 1 and Type 2 events, and Booster Draft will be offered.
In Booster Draft you get six or seven packs, each from a different set. You open one pack at a time, take a card, pass it to the player to the right or left of you, look at the cards passed to you and take one card, then pass those cards to the person you passed to a few moments before and repeat until all the cards from everyone's first pack are taken. Then you open a second pack from the 6 or 7 you originnally received and start the same process over. You do that for each pack. Then when all the packs have been opened and passed around, you have about 15 minutes to create a deck using the cards you chose. It's pretty simple. It is like no other type of game either. Attack, attack, attack often wins, so draft Good Characters and some enhancements to aid them. I am sure others can explain its intricacies better than I. It is the most costly to play, though. Roughly $20 because of the number of packs you receive.

I will not be there, sadly.

Senior class hunting trip that day.

Terry Markoff · « **Reply #98 on:** November 15, 2010, 10:18:03 PM »

I am sorry to hear that Ben. Stay safe. See you in December.

Lawfuldog · « **Reply #99 on:** November 18, 2010, 08:12:56 PM »

Actually there's a change in plans and hunting will be the following weekend, so I will be there at the tournament this weekend.
