Thanks to all who attended our Challenge for a Mox Pearl on Saturday, January 24th 2009!  This tournament was 26 players, the largest vintage event we've had since we started running these tournaments just shy of a year ago. 

I am glad to see the New England and Boston community growing at a healthy rate.  I look forward to hosting the next tournament.
