Alright everyone, there's a new TO/ Manager here on Cape so hopefully these tournaments will be run better, have a better environment, and hopefully bring some of you back now. Our previous manager has quit due to "overwhelmingness or exhaustion," which to me is a bunch of crap anyways, but no matter, The owner offered the position to me, an opportunity I gladly accepted.
Alright, passed all that, time to get to the good stuff. - Like always, the owner doesn't want a guaranteed prize structure yet so we're stuck on cash prizes based on attendance. The only way we could possibly change that is to have a constant showing of players here each month. At one time we had a guaranteed prize structure and it worked well for the store, but due to several failed attempts near the end, and loss of money, the owner bagged the idea.
Date: February 26th at 3p.m.
Type of Tournament: Type 1 Five Proxy event with the availability to buy proxies each for an additional dollar. Starting Entry Fee of 10 Dollars.

Notes/Misc. Comments:
I'm very aware of how unappealing this tournament looks to some people, knowing that the prize structure is based on attendance will make most of you really choose not to come. However I urge you, I beg you, to make the trek down here and visit the store. If you're looking for deckbuilding stuff we'll have it, we lean towards the side of having 90% of all cards in stock at any given time.
If you're looking for a great venue, a place that's a bang worth the buck, than make the trek.
If you're looking for a place that has the potential to hold great type 1 tournaments, than make the trek.
We're not going to be able to turn this concept into reality within a months time however we cannot do it at all without all of you. This may mean cutting your losses at the first one, or maybe even the second one just to make an appearance here to show the owner that we can hold high quality tournaments.
Thank you everyone who will even consider this place on your calender for the 26th of February.
-Richard Kirchner, new manager/TO of The Gathering.
