First of all, sorry for taking longer the usual getting this report up. Normally I try to post them next day, but I couldn't do that this time. This past Blue Bell was not the best showing. Only 27 players were able to come and play vintage, but let me tell you, I think if you ask anyone who went it was still a lot of fun, and isn't an event to be missed! I talked to everyone beforehand, and asked if a change in the prize structure was OK. While taking $650 in entry fees I ended up giving out the following as prizes:
1st: $350 in credit (or UL Mox Sapphire)
2nd: $150 in credit
3rd/4th: $50 in credit
5th-8th: $25 in credit
9th: Wolf Shirt (yea MIKE NOBLE!)
The highest player with no proxies got $25 in credit. Both players in the finals had no proxies, and ended up playing for this after splitting 1st/2nd place.
Here was the Metagame Breakdown: There was 1 decklist harmed in the making of this breakdown, no idea where it went.
