The Cary Cup: 2008 Vintage Series in Cary, NC
Here's the deal... I may or may not be in NC next year depending on where I go to graduate school. If I move somewhere without a Vintage tourney scene, I don't want to continue playing. If that's the case, I'd really like to distribute my cards as prizes to the people who come to events in NC. If I end up staying here, I do plan on continuing to play. A list of all my cards can be found here:
http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=34960.0What's the Cary Cup? Something I made up 2 mins ago purely because of alliteration. But then I got some ideas... There actually will be a "Cary Cup." I don't have it yet... but it will be ready in time for this event. At the conclusion of each event, the "winner" of that event will have his/her name inscribed on the Cary Cup. I say "winner" because if there is a split... the highest ranked splitter after swiss will be the "winner." No exceptions (as in working out who is the "winner" in the split). Additionally, I will personally put $1 in the Cary Cup for each person who attends each Cary Cup event before the final one. The money from ALL previous Cary Cup events will remain in the Cary Cup until the LAST event (tba), at which point the winner of the last Cary Cup event gets the first place prize for that event, the actual Cary Cup with his/her name on it as the overall winner AND all of the money inside of it. Finally, any person with their name inscribed on the Cary Cup gets FREE entry to ALL subsequent Cary Cup events. HOLY SHIT!
I will keep the Cary Cup on me (not at the store), but it will be at each event for all to see and worship.
If anyone would like to donate any cards to put inside the Cary Cup, message me or just let me know at one of the events.
I may be over the proxy limit in these events considering I'm getting rid of my collection. It's a small price to pay for having these great events
