So we got 23 players, nearly doubling our initial turnout last month. I am extremely happy running these smaller scale tournaments where I give New England another option to play vintage, and all the players end up happy. The store owner not losing any money on the deal also is a definite plus.
I appreciate everybody that came from out of state, I know near 2hr drives can be weaksauce, but I know I was happy to spend the day hanging with everyone. As an added bonus, tournament entry will be dropped to $20 from this point on, possibly less at some point if I decide to run a smaller scale tournament for some foil welders or what not a la hadley.
