The Cary Cup #2 - 20 Proxy Vintage - 6/14/08 - Apex, NC

[RaleighNCTourneys]

***IMPORTANT NEW ITEMS***

This will be one of my final 2 events in NC. I have accepted an offer for admission at SUNY Buffalo for a chemistry graduate program. These last events will be held at All Fun and Games in Apex, NC. This venue is about 10 minutes away from Sports Zone in Cary. They have much more space for us as well. I have increased entry fee to $25 for these last two events. I really hope that does not deter anybody from coming. The only reason for this is so that I can have a really good top prize and great prizes out to 8th place. These are the last 2 events I'm doing, so I hope an extra $5 is not a big deal. As always, I do not make any profit off these events. The store is charging a small room fee, so the rest of the money goes to prizes. I've included what I consider the value of the prizes next to them for reference.

If you have a laptop with DCI reporter on it, I'd really appreciate it if we could use it. Please PM me if you can help.

The Cary Cup: 2008 Vintage Series in Cary, NC



What is the Cary Cup?

A 2008 Vintage Magic series in Cary, NC. At the conclusion of each event, the "winner" of that event will have his/her name inscribed on the Cary Cup. I say "winner" because if there is a split... the highest ranked splitter after swiss will be the "winner." No exceptions (as in working out who is the "winner" in the split). Additionally, I will personally put $1 in the Cary Cup for each person who attends each Cary Cup event before the final one. The money from ALL previous Cary Cup events will remain in the Cary Cup until the LAST event (tba), at which point the winner of the last Cary Cup event gets the first place prize for that event, the actual Cary Cup with his/her name on it as the overall winner AND all of the money inside of it. Finally, any person with their name inscribed on the Cary Cup gets FREE entry to ALL subsequent Cary Cup events.

After 1 event, we have $22 in the cup.

I wanted to remind everyone that this event is in about a month. There was some confusion about it being next weekend since that was one potential date, but I did not go with that. This event is on Saturday June 14th. Hope to see you there!

The TO level 1 test is really easy and it's open book, so you can have the TO Handbook open whilst you take it.

Who all is planning on making it out?

This is the first of my last 2 events I host in NC... I want them to be the best ones yet!

[Zherbus]

Looking forward to making this.

[Yare]

There is a very, very outside chance I might come to this.

Regardless, do you have an idea of when the last one is going to be?

[RaleighNCTourneys]

Before the last week of August... but I don't have a date yet. That would be awesome if you could make it!

[bronxie]

Kev and i will be there

Just to let everyone know, the new B/R changes will not be in effect for this tourney. Bring your Bstorms, Gushes, etc. for the last time!

No digs at players.  Leave he-who-shall-not-be-named out of this.  This is a drama-free thread.  Please back to regularly scheduled trash-talking.

On a sad note, this is a tourney announcement that involves a trophy and there's no mention of "bitches", anyone's mother, illegal drugs, or anything remotely worthy of TMD trashtalking.

I'm sadly disappointed - PTW and Saucemaster both just rolled over.

I heard from Becker's mom that he uses illegial drugs to enter an enhanced state of Magic awareness so that he can pwn mad "bitches" at all the tourneys he goes to. Will he dominate the Cary Cup #2? Unlikely, but only time will tell.

Good thing I only put one Brainstorm on the Cary Cup since it's restircted now...

[Zherbus]

I'd trash talk, but it always jinxes me!

Maybe there can be post-tournament dinner shenanigans?

Winner buys drinks...

What do you want me to get you?

[Klep]

I heard that Zherbus invented the polygraph machine, only when he made it, it was perfect.  They made him add some errors to it because "mankind is not ready to know the real truth."  The first person he tested it on has never spoken since answering Zherbus' third question (after the baselines of "What is your name?" and "Are you alive?"): "What is the meaning of life?"

Zherbus' mind is capable of handling such knowledge, but alas it shattered that of his poor test subject.

I prefer Amstel Light with an Unlimited Ancestral Recall as a coaster.

LOL!

[RaleighNCTourneys]

Just about a week away...

Remember, this is the second to last event I'll be doing... EVER! If you win this one you get free entry into the final Cary Cup event and the last Cary Cup event will have a huge cash prize for first place in addtion to full prizes given away from entry fees. You also get to keep the Cup if you win the last event

Please don't forget to bring your DCI #s with you. You can get one for free at the store if you don't have one. We need this for the new DCI reporter.

The new B/R changes are NOT in effect for this tourney.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

Just 3 days away...

Please remember your DCI numbers! Registration starts at noon and the tourney will begin at 1pm. Call me or the store if you have any trouble getting there. 

[RaleighNCTourneys]

This is tomorrow... see everyone there...

-Bring DCI numbers
-New B/R changes not in effect

I heard from Becker's mom that he uses illegial drugs to enter an enhanced state of Magic awareness so that he can pwn mad "bitches" at all the tourneys he goes to.

haha. It's called caffeine yo.

Will he dominate the Cary Cup #2? Unlikely, but only time will tell.

Domination is unlikely because I'm not going to be making the trek. Understandably no one in Charleston (other than myself) wants to drive 4 hours each way to play an obsolete format. 

The Cary Cup will still be mine.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

People should voice their opinions before the last day before the tourney Until now, only 1 person had told me they wanted to use the new B/R list. Oh well, I hope you can make it to the last one.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

Quick results, more details to come soon:

15 people, 4 rounds, top 4.

1st) Garrett Wiley (Manaless Ichorid)
2nd) Cody Vinci (Drain Tendrils)
3rd) Geoff Mullins (Tyrant Oath)
4th) Ralph (Tropical Storm)

We still played for the Recall and prizes out to 8th place. I took a pretty big monetary oss, but it was still a lot of fun! I hope we get more people for the last one. An official announcement will be this week for the last Cary Cup. The winner will receive the first place prize, the Cary Cup, and about about $60 in cash.
