PROXIES
As far as proxies go, each player will be entitled to 10 proixes included in the basic admission cost. In addition, players may pay $1 per proxy for the ability to play additional ones with the maximum number of total proxies being 15. Prior to the start of the tournament, when you bring up your decklist, a waterbury associate(not someone playing in the event) will check to see that you have the cards that are proxied indicated on your decklist. At this time, you will present your deck to show the indicated number of proxies and pay at that time for additional ones past 10. There are some who would be tempted to cheat this system. Let it be said that each round there will be at least one random deck check(now possible with increased help). Any player who is found to have more proxies than indicated on his decklist and/or paid for will receive a disqualification from the event without prize. This may sound severe, but keep in mind that this is simply to prevent deception and people from abusing a privilege intended to benefit Waterbury and newer players(who may need slightly more proxies). As long as you are on the up-and-up, you have nothing to worry about.
A proxy should not be distunguishable from a regular card in a sleeve except for the face. This means no back markings, no cards backwards in sleeves, no abnormal thickness of papers in sleeves, no papers falling out of sleeves, etc.
Proxies must have all pertinent info written on them: Card Name, Casting Cost, Text, Power/Toughness, Etc
Best bet is to get some revised plains(they are plenty light), sharpie the front with all the info, and draw a quick sketch of the picture. This will minimize your chance of having an inappropriate proxy.
If there is still doubt, ask at Waterbury when registering your deck.
Team rivalry, a.k.a. Braggin Rights Supreme JAN 2006
CURRENT REIGNING CHAMPS: TEAM NUTS AND STAFF OFF TWICE...If you haven't already seen the trophy they got in addition to about $90 in cards and other then you will see it at Waterbury. The trophy is enormous, probabbly bigger than at least 1 or 2 waterbury participants!
Here is how its gonna go down. Teams of three will agree prior to the event to play as a team and will register(seperate from a deck registration...it will be done on a different sheet of paper). Each teams cost is $9...$3 per person. Then, at the end of the tournament, the teams with the highest combined number of match points(top 16 matches-finals count as 3 points per match, just as in the swiss) will win.
If enough teams enter, there may be a second place prizes or more, but the number of teams entering, and thus the collected entry fees, will determine the prizes. In the event of a tie for match points, the average opponent match win percentage of the three players on each team will be computed and compared.
After round 2 team designations will be inserted into players names, so teams may view each other team's players and match points on the pairings/standings.
At 10:00 GRAND MELEE MULTIPLAYER CHAMPIONSHIPS:
After the top 8 starts, in a fashion similar to the Type 4 Championships, we will play a Grand Melee Multiplayer event. This event can be played by ANY number of players. Players should bring a type 1 deck with them(for multiplayer or otherwise). All players will sit in a huge circle around many tables. To maintain order, the game will run with multiple players taking there turns at once. Active players will be represented with buttons(similar to a dealer button) passed around the table. A player with the button may only attack the players immediately to their left or right. All spells and abilities have a one person radius. In other words: if player B is the active player with A to his left and C to his right, a nev's disk would only blow up these three player's permanents. Accordingly, instants and effects can only be played when you, or a player to the right or left of you is the active player. These player buttons will pass to the left. Buttons will be held, if neccesary to avoid two buttons coming within range of one another. As players are eliminated, so too will the number of buttons. Last man standing wins.
Prizes: TBD based on number of players
Proxies will be allowed ...10 specifically...without the chance to buy more.
Entry: FREE!
ALSO: Throughout the day, the Third Tournament of Champions will take place. The format will be multiplayer. More details to follow.
For anyone who wants to come prepared with their decklist already filled out:

Up to 20 proxies may be used, free of charge.
You can use more current versions of the cards, as long as they were from those sets.
Although we will still be using current rules(the stack, comabt damage, etc.) since to revert to pre 5th edition rules would be too confusing, we will use the B&R list from July 1995.

In that theme of fun...You MAY rip up an orb/star under the following two conditions: It is a REAL VERSION of the card and you have a REAL VERSION to replace it immediately with. No one took advantage of this at the last event, but I would love to see it happen.
The prize will be based on the number of entrants, but will likely be something cool from one of those sets(LOA, Bazaar, Workshop, Drain, Chains, Etc) provided we get enough people.
