The only once a year tournament is natz I think the line should be state and higher, the one per location type tournaments.

I agree with the fairnesssoundingness of this post.

The new Haman state promo cannot be used at a state tournament this year. The other state promo cards may be used at any tournament - doesn't matter if you got the other five that day or at an earlier state tournament. Haman can be used at a Regional and Nationals.

The new Regional Promo cannot be used prior to Nationals this year. The other five - same as above.

It used to be as Kevin and Gabe described it. But, I thought better of it when people came up with ahem, what I will call "creative ways," to justify use of the new promo. The fair thing to do seemed to be just to draw a clear line.

Obviously some people knew and others didn't. I thought we added this to the tournament guide a few years ago. I just checked and didn't see it. Hopefully I didn't accidentally delete it when I made all my updates to the document last year. I was unaware of the confusion until I saw this thread.

I also appreciate the clarification Rob, as well as the decision to make the rule as fair for everyone as possible

Yey fairness!

Thanks, Rob.

Chalk this up as yet another point for Wild Bill. Next thing we know straw wrapper shooting will be an official Redemption tournament event.

Hasn't that been in the Tournament guide since '03?

There will be 2 official categories this year at North Central Regional’s.

Type 1 is shooting for distance and Type 2 is shooting for accuracy.

We hope to add a multi player event for 2010. The straw testers have done an excellent job this year and we will be using a new brand of straws. And yes they have foil wrappers.

Foil wrappers? the paper ones work much better.

TimMierz · « **Reply #34 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:19:20 PM »

But the foil ones are shiny! Who cares if they're less effective or even if they cost more, they're shiny, therefore everyone values them more.

everytribe · « **Reply #35 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:40:38 PM »

Again the straw testers did a super job. The new wrappers shot much farther and will make it easier for the new players to compete. Accuracy is a little more challenging with the foil wrappers, thats why we made it Type 2. There is still some randomness involved since your at the mercy of the luck of the draw. Not all wrappers are equal.

I just hope I don't get a recycled straw that just has new red stripes.

When will Cactus wake up and realize that gimmicks like this alienate the existing player base? This is terrible for long-time collectors and adding even more luck to the game is just ridiculous at this point. Come and get me in a year and we'll see if they've come up with a good idea yet.

I was going to announce that Tim had won the thread...

Then this happened.

So, YMT and Tim must split the prize of 1 interwebs.

We're already interwebbed.... we're both Tims. I'm older, so I am hereby referred to as I Timothy. Mierz is II Timothy. The other Tim (Nobody in particular) will have to be referred to as Titus.

TheMarti · « **Reply #42 on:** June 05, 2009, 06:31:34 PM »

LOL, nice.

TimMierz · « **Reply #43 on:** June 05, 2009, 06:41:36 PM »

Maly is a few years older than me, I believe, but I won't argue so I don't have to be Titus.

Does the fact that my grandmother in real life is named Lois factor into this at all? Sadly*, my mother is not named Eunice.
