NYSE XVI (same number again!) - July 30th - Prizes TBA

[Mr. Type 4]

Nick D. doesn't post here anymore, so I've taken it upon myself to post up the info for the next event at one of my favorite venues.  Right now prizes are TBA, but they've always been good, and I think this is the last weekend before Gencon so it would be a great time to tune up your deck for the big event.

From Facebook:

N.Y.S.E. XVI

Because counting is difficult.

The last N.Y.S.E. was announced as N.Y.S.E. XVI. After doing some very difficult counting that involved using multiple hands and a foot, I came to the conclusion that it was actually N.Y.S.E. XV. Which means that we get to do this all over again!
...
July 25th, 2009 was the date of the very first N.Y.S.E. event. In the two years that have come and gone we’ve seen everything from (multiple) tanker fires on the Long Island Expressway to 90 man events. The last two years have been great. Here’s hoping that the next two years are just as good…

When:

Saturday, July 30th, 2011
Registration will begin at 11:00 AM
First round will begin promptly at 12:00 PM

What:

$30, 15 proxy non-sanctioned Vintage tournament. Deck registration sheets will be in use. First place prize will be a piece of power, and it will be guaranteed. All additional prizes are guaranteed at 45 entrants.

The prize structure will be as follows:

1st: TBA
2nd: TBA
3rd/4th: $120 dealer credit
5th/8th: $60 dealer credit
9th: Mystery Prize, to be autographed by the top 8

As always, prizes will be scaled up with attendance.

Side Events/Player of the Year Race:

Side Events:

Eight man, single elimination, side events will be available throughout the day. Signups for the first event will begin after round four of the main event. Entry fee is $10, with the prize breakdown being $60 dealer credit to 1st, $20 dealer credit to 2nd.

Player of the Year Race:

Starting on 1/8 there will be a Player of the Year race. Points will be accumulated based on match wins (3 points) and draws (1 point.) The event will run from 1/8/11 - 12/31/11. The winner of the race wins free admission to all N.Y.S.E. tournaments for 2012. Updates will be posted in the tournament reports for the tournaments.

The point structure will be as follows:

1st: 12 points
2nd: 9 points
3rd: 6 points
4th: 6 points
5th: 3 points
6th: 3 points
7th: 3 points
8th: 3 points

May the best player win!

This event is also going to be the very last tune-up that all our GenCon attendees are going to have. If you plan on making the trip out to Indy, it would definitely help to get some last minute testing in.

The prize support for first and second at this event will be announced soon.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all on the 30th for another day of Vintage on Long Island!

I'm from out of state potentially thinking about trying to attend this.  Can someone from the area possibly inform me about any public transportation going near this?  Thanks.

[mikekilljoy]

The train is pretty good. Just need to get from Ronkonkama to Selden, which is about a 10 minute ride.

[Cruel Ultimatum]

In New York you either go big or go home. With that in mind, here's the prize payout on N.Y.S.E XVI:

1st place: Unlimited Ancestral Recall
2nd place: Unlimited Time Walk
3rd/4th place: $60 dealer credit
5th-8th place: $30 dealer credit

Paul, thank you for doing the announcement on this event.  I have put up another announcement for this event so that I could set the prize support and link to the calender.
