I don't know.  I was merely relaying the information and couldn't find it on any of their sites either.  I will try to find out this evening.

Some calls were made.  Apparently the store isn't sure what they'll be giving away either, which is unfortunate.  Prizes will scale based on attendance and will probably be "Vintage themed."  I assume that means Drain, Library, Bazaar-type stuff, but I don't know, so don't hold me to it.  The store hasn't held a Vintage event for more than a year, is just getting back into the format, and is testing the waters.  I'm sorry I can't give any more information than that.

I spoke to Tommy from Richmond Comix about this and he asked me to post the below message for him.  I, personally, would love to see a good turnout as it would mean more Vintage in my hometown.  

Hi there Vintage players,

My name is Tommy and I am the T.O. for the Richmond City Champs Type 1 Vintage tournament. I want to thank you guys for your interest and I need to apologize and explain a little bit here at the start. When I decided to run a “city champs” here in Richmond I decided to try running a different type of tournament every week in August. We’ve had Type 2, Booster Drafts and Elder Dragon Highlander and tomorrow is the last of these tournaments. I honestly didn’t expect the response from the Vintage community as this was a tournament in the middle of a series but I’m glad it happened.

For tomorrows tournament we will be giving the winner and box of M10 and second place will get an unlimited Berserk. My hope is that we can run a Vintage tournament every 4 to 6 weeks with more appropriate prize support to the format. Our response tomorrow will determine the feasibility of my Type 1 plan so I hope to see a lot of you in the morning.
