DUELING GROUNDS PRESENTS:

Ontario Vintage Championship IV – December 3rd, 2005

Ravnica has shaken up Legacy. Will the Vintage metagame feel anything at all? Will the U.S. or Quebec players finally take away the championship from Ontario? This is the largest sanctioned Vintage event in Canada. Held only twice a year (spring and fall), the 4th Ontario Vintage Championship is ready to crown a new champion!

START TIME
Doors open at 11:00 a.m. Registration ends at 12:45 p.m. Tournament begins at 1:00 p.m. sharp. Deck registration is mandatory so it is recommended to write out/ print out your decklist ahead of time or show up early. We will provide deck registration forms for those who need them.

FORMAT
This is a 32K sanctioned event. No proxies are allowed. The format will be Vintage (Type I) constructed. Please vist www.thedci.com for Tournament floor rules.

There will be a minimum 5 rounds (most likely 6) of modified Swiss pairings. After the final round is finished, the top eight players will compete in single elimination matches for big prizes and the title of champion.

I'm toying with the idea of going to see a friend up in Toronto and hence making this, maybe with the wife too.

Is nobody planning to go to this?

Not like it's so very far from Rochester, and a great excuse for some good drinking afterwards as far as I can tell.

I was going to bump it as well.

Keep in mind that most sign ups were done by email, or on the mtgontario site. This tournament, weather permitting, will probably be full. Even if it's over the limit, we'll find space to house everyone, no worries. I think Wayne himself will become a table if need be.

Most of them were close to full, or overly full.

So it's alright.

It's also this weekend.

This was a very enjoyable and well run tournament.  Worth the trip, since I came in second, losing to U/W fish in the final.  Just after beating U/W fish in the final round, U/R fish for T8 and U/W fish in T4.  Something fishy going on with the pairings, I thought.  Can't win them all, I suppose...  Got a nice English Drain out of it.  Report will come.

I'm interrested to see the outcome of this tourney (ie number of people, t8 decklists, etc)

Maybe the Michigan/Windsor crew can hit Toronto tournaments in the near future; and obviously crush em Wink

Let me know about a report or stats.

Regards,

Pac
