Events during Eternal Weekend will be streamed online at Twitch.tv/AtomicEmpire, players in our events will be asked to sign a waiver before being allowed to play in streamed feature matches.

Once again we will have plenty of beer on tap as well as a massive in store stock of Magic cards!

A small suggestion, I attended one eternal weekend in the Spring. It was fun, I had a good time attendance for the Saturday Vintage was pretty good. I think to draw the out of towners (Atlanta) putting the Vintage on Saturday makes a bit more sense, we can all play Legacy 2-3 times a week in our respective home towns (Atlanta, Reston, Roanoke, Charlotte) -- making a minor road trip out of it means probably leaving Sunday and now the Vintage is on Sunday.

Also, the streaming is a great idea and the setup in the store is great but the requirements around proxies make it almost unwatchable. Peoples proxies are so awful and unrecognizable in some of the matches. It's a tough thing to enforce and in person you can work through it, but on the streams it's pretty tough to follow.

I have brought up the scheduling multiple times to the owners/organizers.  I'm not sure where we currently stand so I will bring it up again.

As for the proxies, there isn't much that can be done unless we simply do not allow any (and there are only 5-10 people that even have the ability to run no proxy at the moment).  I will try to see if they can make stream choices based on who has the fewest though.

The only other though I have to that is to make a set of store proxies for use on the stream, but I will have to do some research and talking to see if that is even possible, so it probably won't be a thing for this tournament.
