10 proxies, a good group of 27 players (about par for the course, GP was only ~660 players). TO upheld her prize structure, so for $25 entry fee (total $675) gave out:
1st - Nice Ancestral
2nd - Nice Bazaar
3/4th - Drain, fairly good condition
5-8th - FoW
So around $1100 in prizes at dealer prices...
GGs were given the top 8 decklists, not sure what they did with them. Also unsure what my floor judge did with the metagame breakdown he did.
Top 8:
David Ho (2 card Monte) beat Robert Gault (Shop Aggro) (by default - Robert won the power ticket raffle into the 'goyf draft and opted to play that instead)
Eric Froehlich (Oath) beat Matt Marr (Tezz)
LSV (Oath) beat Michael Speriosu (Noble Fish)
David Williams (Oath) beat Brad Barnett (Merfolk, looked like legacy plus some proxies)
Top 4:
LSV beat David Williams
Eric Froehlich beat David Ho
Final:
LSV dropped to give Eric the win.
Great event, shame about the numbers, wouldn't have hurt a bit just to stick Bazaar and Ancestral up, but TO bought all the cards in advance. Hope it doesn't discourage future events.
