25/25/25 rule:
Vintage 25-proxy unsanctioned tournament
$0.25 for each proxy after 25
$25 entry

All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

Count me in for this one.

I am thinking of attending one of these finally.  It has been awhile since I made other people feel good about their magic skills. 

[quicksilvervii]

I should be there, per usual.

[Mr. Scragglesworthington]

This is the day before my GRE general, so in the interest of good sleep, I'm out. 

Should be a well-run tournament though, as usual.

[strip miner]

Will be there.

i am skipping my nieces' birthday party to come to this before my baby is born next month.  gotta make at least one  
quick question though: all my fetches are foil and after reading the other thread about patterns in foils being cheating, should i use proxies?  i only have 2 or 3 other foils in the deck (non lands).  is my appreciation of pimp lands gonna screw me here?

24 players.  I won.  It was wonderful.  Joseph Brown's MUD list is just unreal.

I played the Snake deck.  He crushed me in the for-glory finals games.  Clearly, this matchup is just not meant to be.

I have to say that this was one of the best events I have attended in a while, even though I misplayed multiple games that I won anyway and mulliganed into oblivion no less than four times. The people were great and the competition was definitely heavy, and watching two of my friends top 8 their first ever vintage tournament was certainly worth my pitiful 2-3 finish.

I (we) plan to be back as many times as funds and time allow.
