Sounds good folks, on my way to the store now, sure to be a good time.

If people are interested in side events I am bringing some extra Vintage stuff to give away for side events.

Will post Top 8 Lists and post tournament info this week.

Just a reminder this is tomorrow, looking forward to it!!

If anyone has any questions feel free to post them or email me Ben@Newenglandmagicgroup.com

I will check the forums tonight and again tomorrow morning before I leave for the store.

Regardless of attendance the 1st place Mox Ruby is GUARANTEED to be given out.

We have had solid results in the past, so I am really not worried about the attendance numbers, so no matter the players, the Ruby will be given out   

Also, those who know me, know that we stand behind our prize support no matter the format, this is no different with Vintage events for us.  Those who attended any of the 400.00 cash tournaments know that with numbers like 26 players I still gave away 400.00 CASH plus a playset of Force of Wills, Dual Lands and cool prizes to the top 8.

Any questions, comments or suggestions, post them here or shoot me an email, I will try and check the thread once a day or so.

First let me apologize for the extremely late response to this thread as well as apologize for not posting the night before that due to weather this should have been canceled.  Moving on to future events, we will make sure to keep a better eye on the forums and keep the community updated.
 
That said, I want to clear up that at the start time, there was no tournament to be had as there were no players.
 
We waited in the store instead of closing in case people did show up, which when we did have people show up I talked to the group which led to a reduced cost tournament with all of the entry fees going back out in prizes.
 
I understand that perhaps we should add a "weather permitting" stipulation to our events.  Being new to the Vintage scene, I have never dealt with something like this before.  So again, my apologies.
 
I do feel we run solid events with the players in mind, the first 2 events we held went over very well and the 3rd was a mess but we learn from our mistakes.
 
I am open to any and all comments as my goal here is to run a better tournament and offer something fun and competitive to the Vintage community. 
 
We will be announcing another event shortly and will be taking all comments into consideration.
 
I appreciate all the support and comments posted as I appreciate the 9 people that did brave the storm to come out to the store.
 
Rest assured those who have any questions,  this was a learning experience for me and while I have been running DCI events for years on end, we have only run 3 vintage events.  I am sure the next one we host will be a much better experience as we learn from our mistakes.
 
I will be reviewing all posts before announcing our next event and will be checking in with ELD before hand to ensure we run the best event possible.  We want to gain the trust of the community and become a venue where players want to come and play as well as a venue that players can expect to have a good time.

If anyone would like to contact me directly rather then through the forums, my email is Ben@NewEnglandMagicGroup.com  Again I am open to all comments and suggestions.

Hope to see you all this weekend
