WMCQ- Vintage Side Event (14 Players)

On Saturday 2nd June, as part of the Melbourne (Australia) World Magic Cup Qualifier side event schedule; A vintage tournament was organized. While the number of players was below expectations everyone who came had a great time. Having the WMCQ at the same time did not help numbers.

What was interesting for this tournament from a local perspective is the lack of Worshops and Oath who generally historically have made up up to 50% of any given tournament.
