To be honest.... New to vintage players have done well at my events.... Out of the 12 events I ran... I believe 3 were all first vintage tournament winners. Hope you make it, and good luck.
And to think I was only 1 match away from becoming the fourth rookie-winner. Unfortunately, I'll have to try and catch the next TPG event, as I have a prior engagement tomorrow (so no Robocats for me!). Good luck to everybody that does attend, though.
