Just got off the phone with outlaw. He was busy so I didn't get much. Him and Brassman are playing Brassman's gifts deck courtesy of GGs.
Outlaw is 2-0 and playing Smem currently.
Brassy is 3-0.
More info. to come between rounds.

That depresses me beyond belief. I hope Chicago doesn't continue this trend, but it already seems to be having enough going against it with Pasttimes' building sold to Wal-Mart and all.

Well,to be fair there is a prerelease too. Hopefully that is where some of the vintage players are.

Going into the sixth round now:
Outlaw is x-1 having been destroyed by stax and will probably draw in.
Brassman is undefeated.
Smennen went 2-2 drop with mono-u
Kowal scrubbed with keeper crucible combo
Steve Houlidette is, I think, x-1 and will probably draw in.
I think there's a fcg player still in the running, so hopefully not a goblins repeat.

Round Four Feature Match is up - Andy Probasco vs. Peter Magyar ( http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/event/10464.html) Probasco: Shortbus Severance Belcher Magyar: Food Chain Goblins There are also several commentary articles like you'd expect out of JP and Carl Winter, but honestly this is much less of a distraction from my work day than I was hoping for  |

Brassy and Outlaw made top 8, and are in different brackets.
Outlaw is paired against meandeck oath.
Orlove is in with WS aggro.
I think there is no meandeck gifts, only GG gifts.
There is one stax list in.
More when Outlaw calls me again.

Wow-they are losing lots of money on this one.
I wouldn't worry about Chicago-there were 37 peole for a Mox Emerald in Milwaukee. The field has constantly been 140+ in Chicago, while the only big event in Richmond was the very first tournament.
The question I'm wondering is are they going to continue having P9 events in Richmond-their home store. New York and Chicago draw twice as many people.

Well, Richmond has had a historically bad series of events happen to affect attendance - such as that snowstorm, and now it also coincides with the prerelease for one of the most well-received sets released to date. Wizards promised a lot with this one, and remember - there'll be another Star City, but not another Ravnica: City of Guilds prerelease. I think that decision right there might be affecting more would-be Vintage players than Legacy.
Hell, even if I were seriously into Legacy right now, a Star City event would take precedence over a sanctioned Legacy event - if there's even one conflicting with the current schedule. Legacy and Vintage can coexist, at least for now, and definitely this weekend.

It was planned that way, so this isn't an accident. The last Richmond event also happened on prerelease day. I think they do it to cut down on the logistics--it is a lot easier to hold two events at once than plan out two separate events that occur like 2 weeks apart. Ultimately, what I think a lot of people decided was that they could either 1) pay $30 to play Vintage and likely not win anything, or 2) pay $30 to play with a cool new set and not only get something for that fee but also stand a lot better chance of actually winning something. Clearly, a problem, and I think it puts the future of Richmond P9 tournies at risk. |

Outlaw made finals but lost to Brassman's list from gencon, which coincidentally Brassman apparently lost to also in semi's.
Outlaw beat meandeck oath, then Orlove playing ws aggro.
yay ggs.

I will have to agree that the future of scg Richmond is defiantly in doubt, either find a new home or discontinue the tournaments in Richmond altogether.
it is not entirely unlike to find a replacement in the surrounding area that Can hold it and still draw the crowd needed for the tourney to be profitable

What the hell were SCG thinking running a p9 at the same time as a prerelease? Did they not expect this to happen? I hope Chicago isn't this bad. Anyone know where Chicago is going to be held now that pastimes is gone?

From what I've heard it is either going to held at College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn,IL which is like 30 minutes south of pastimes or in a Hotel. We'll see how things develop and what Alan from pastimes decides. |

Well, I guess they can't complain about the poor showings. That's one thing about tournament organization that always baffles me: Somehow, the TOs can't help but pick conficting dates. Now, I understand that it's difficult to find a time that is convenient for everyone, but I mean, a during a Pro Tour!? I dunno ... |

Don't worry - I'll make up for it by playing three. Although I don't know what I'd to to modify one into a Shay-Atog. Maybe just a crown and a scepter to signify 'Lord' status... |

So the top 8 was:
1-TFK Gifts
2-TFK Gifts
3-TFK Gifts
4-Shop Aggro
5/8-Stax
5/8-Meandeck Gifts?
5/8-Oath?
5/8-?
(as of posting SCG doesn't have the top 8 listed)

SCG made money on the prerelease in a drastic measure - they had a ridiculous number of flights. Also, only 56 people showed to Legacy. I was talking to Pete about it, and he said that he thinks because the hype was so high for Ravnica, and prerelease numbers are up around the country.
Also, SCG P9 is confirmed going into 2006, and more Legacy events are probably planned as well.

c'mon people, stop with the whole chicken little thing that everybody makes fun of Vintage players for doing. As long as there is an interest in playing Vintage events, (which there is), T.O.s will happily make money off us by hosting tournaments. Just because Richmond was small, (which is no surprise as it is always the smallest one), Chicago is always quite huge. At the very worst SCG moves the Richmond event somewhere else where there is more interest. However, the fact that the Ravnica pre release was so huge probably accounts for a lot of it.
Honestly, I skipped SCG Richmond because I wanted to play limited as well, and I don't regret it a bit. Ravnica is uber fun.

Usually they get like 90 people for the Vintage event at these, which seems low but a lot of people that drop out early play in a flight or two of the prerelease, which more or less makes up for the lower player count. Of course, 90 is a lot more than 57. |

I know the last SCG Richmond Power Tournament was the same Saturday as the Saviors of Kamigawa pre release. Do all three of the SCG Richmond events coincide with pre releases. And if so, do you think that it is to make up for Richmond's lower attendance than the other locations?

Yes, they all coincide with prereleases, but it's not to make up for low attendance. If anything, it's helping to cause lower attendances. The reason they are held at the same time is a matter of convenience. It's easier and cheaper to schedule convention center space once rather than twice.
