Props:
The AU Blue Bell crew for coming out and showing some love.
Nick for coming 2nd in his first vintage event(what is it with my events and first timers????).
Tocco, for being nothing short of an all around good guy.
Seeley and Paul. They get the no frills shoutout since Mike Noble quit(that's how you shout out Mike Noble even he's out of vintage).
Adam Conn for taking down the side event and winning himself a savannah.
Newberger for unretiring from vintage!
Shawn Griffiths. Maybe he'll quit whining about not getting any props now that he's won.
Slops:
Seth Zulinski's car. Way to fail at your only purpose for existing.
PS:
INVITATIONAL INFO
I tried to make it simple as i possibly could......
If you have ever top 8'd one of my events, you're in.
If you have held the title belt from beginning to end of an event, you're in and you are in for free.
If you have won one of my events and did not split, you are in for free as well.
Info for the March event was announced and some revisions have been made upon suggestions from those that have Q'd for it already.
Top prize will still be an imperial seal(nm english) as planned unless a better idea comes along(i am all ears guys).
Feb. event will be the last chance to Q for the Invitational event.
Looking forward to seeing more newbs and some old faces in february.
Cheers,
Cal
