After a long time of doing things fairly unprofessionally I decided that Hadley tournaments needed to take a step up in legitimacy as the attendance and interest in vintage magic grew. Thus, I set out on Tuesday night to be the TO for Hadley's very first usage of deck reg sheets and labled tables. Much to my surprise, the attendance was very high for the insane short notice, and I ended up running around a large portion of the day, a wee bit stressed out from this being my first TO experience.
However, it all worked out for the best, and for the very first time, I present to you... The Hadley Top Eight Decklists.

The metagame was extremely rounded, with a showing from pretty much every major archetype except Landstill. Good thing the landstill players stayed away though, because 15% of the total attendance was of Big O, ready to smash their way through the puny manlands.
Like Ray, I encourage anyone who attended, successful or not, to write a report and post it here, or if you can't post here, in the open T1 forum. I would kick it off myself but I didn't play, so
here's a good place to begin.
