Thanks to the 39 players who came to Alternate Universes in Blue Bell, PA to sling the best cards in Magic for a prize pool approaching $1000!  Also, thanks to Mike Coyle, the owner of AU for hosting these tournaments and to Nick DiPasquale for judging the event!  We had 6 rounds of swiss, and a cut to top 8.  Sorry that it took longer then usual to get this report typed and online; life got in the way.

UPCOMING EVENTS: Announcements will be posted soon, but you can make plans now, the next two Blue Bell Game Days will be held on September 4th and October 2nd!

Another great tournament.  Thanks Nick, had a blast as usual, and it was nice to see a mix of new and familiar faces at this one.

Spread the word guys, for both of the Nicks (Coss and Detwiler), that these are well-run and extremely fun events with great prize support.
