Getting closer to the event, clear your calendar and plan on attending! Hope everyone is having a great summer. See you in August.

Just thought that I would mention that the date of this event is the same time as a PTQ.  This isn't relevant for the majority of T1 players but it is harsh on those of us have to decide between two events that both seem great.  It also may have an adverse effect on the turn out for the Type 2 tournament as more players in that format participate in PTQs.  I know it's asking a lot to change the date of the event but a few people I know from NJ would definitely go to the event if it wasn't happening at the same time as a PTQ.  Thanks.

[TD]

I kind of agree with Jeff. Bumping this up a week would be great.

[RitNecroWin]

I know for a fact that if this was bumped a week, the entire PGH crew would be in attendance. We planned a tournament before this was posted and commited to the other.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

This is kinda random and not much of my business... but there is a reasonable chance I could attend this if it were the next weekend as I was planning on being in that area that weekend.

[MISTERTREK]

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll check with Mike to see if the store is available that day.

[MISTERTREK]

Ok, you asked and we listened! There was originally an event scheduled for the store on that day, but it's been changed, so the 23rd is now our new date!! Hope all our Jersey PTQers and the Pittsburgh gang can now attended our event & free up the rest of us to attend their events as well. I'll keep you all up to speed with additional info as we get closer to the event. I should have the prereg site available soon. Thanks Mike

[Gekoratel]

Thanks for listening to your community it really says a lot about you as a TO.  I'll definitely be at this event and will try to bring as many friends from NJ that I can muster up.  Thanks again.

This tournament is going to kick so much ass. I can't wait 'til I have my new Lotus. It's the only thing I need to finish an extra set of power. (Besides Twister, but who really counts that anyway?)

I guess you do have a legitimate shot at the lotus since it looks like I wont be able to make this event after all.

[MISTERTREK]

Well less than a month to go until our big event. Don't forget to preregister. See you all soon!

[XxtSundaybxX]

Well im pretty psyched myself for this tourney. Since AJ is not attending i guess i will be seeing you in the finals Joe, I'll be the guy taking that lotus from you 

[MISTERTREK]

Three weeks left until the Black Lotus event. Should have a great showing for all the mid-atlantic Vintage players. Hope to see you there!

[MISTERTREK]

Hey all. Only 2 weeks left until the event. Looks like we will have good turnout. We will be having players come from Pittsburgh, Baltimore, NY, plus our regular Mid-atlantic gang. Hope we will see YOU there too!.

The Champions Award points have been updated on our web site, so be sure to check them out.

I have also confirmed today that this will be a judged event, with our old friend Nick fresh back from Nationals, taking care of all the rules questions and deck checks. Please remember to indicate your proxied cards on your decklist, and to give your deck some kind of a name/variant.

[desolutionist]

I'll be there.

[Seismic Assault]

I heard a rumor that the 2008 Vintage Champ might be there.....  (Ok I lied, barring the unforseen, we're coming in from Pittsburgh fo sho!)

[MISTERTREK]

Only 1 week away. Shawn, Assault see you guys there! Should be a great turn out and a fun and competative event.

[John Jones]

There will also be a 5-color (5-color.com) event at (hopefully three) for an unlimited sapphire.
Make sure that when you guys do bad you have a 250 card deck together. There will also be a few decks for loan.

[MISTERTREK]

Tomorrow is the day! We should have a great turn out. Hope you're joining us for the fun!!

[ashiXIII]
