If more people would come if reg was at noon, I'm sure someone could talk to them and move it up.

30 for a ruby is kinda pricey too, with even the minimum sixteen you're pulling in 480 which is almost twice what it's actually worth. Depends on what the rest of the prize support is.

I defanetly want to come, but just can't justify it if it starts so late or with that price. I don't want to be there until 2 in the morning to have to drive 3 and a half hours back to Dayton after getting raped on entry fees.

This event is a joke, $30 than on top of that many in our play group are new so they use the limit in proxies which means this event cost them up wards to $35, plus the prize is not a for sure!  |

If this is the place I played at last time I was in Cleve, they are very money-hungry. That's bad for the community.
If Steve goes, I might tag along, but dropping $30 + $15 in gas + food and other stuff is really weak.
Not to do a "ours is better" thing but we've been managing perfectly in Columbus with $15 entry and unlimited proxies. We've never had problems with attendence. The same people who go to Columbus would probably go to Cleve, but that's not likely going to happen when a shop is expecting to sell their Ruby for $600 and hasn't even announced a 2-4th prize structure.

Apparently they decided to change the date to 7/29, and the starting time will be 1 p.m. That is infinitely bad. The reason that the price is so high is that Dave or Kirk does not want to "lose money" on the Mox. However, he has tried having a tournament for said Mox at least 3 times so far, neither one was a success. The reason he is so worried is because Type One is not that popular out here in Cleveland. Would more people come out if the price was cheaper and the proxy number was higher? Maybe I can run that idea by the store and I will see what they say. Hopefully if the people speak, the stores will listen. Thanks!

The Vintage scene in Cleveland is godawful, Nam is right. I was at the last Compendium Mox tourney, and there were what, 6 of us who ended up playing for an Underground Sea and a German Sol Ring, or something terrible like that. The entry fee is regrettable, but understandable.

I feel like the entry fee is effectively $35 or $40 for those of us who do not have a large number of expensive cards. I really think it would be more beneficial to everyone to raise the allowable number of proxies (perhaps 10 only, or 10 + $1 for each beyond 10). The number of entries might increase by only a few, but I feel like this would definitely offset the loss incurred on the proxy tax side of things. Five is just not enough to attract "average" players. |

Altered Reality had 31 people at its last Ruby event (on the same day as Compendium's, but for $15 instead of $30), so I don't think the Vintage scene in Cleveland is awful at all. You get Columbus, Michigan, Oxford, and possibly Canadian and Chicago players coming. We had 25 at the Columbus tournament today. Things like 5 proxies and $30 entries aren't good for attracting business. If they want to not lose money on the Ruby, set a player minimum that isn't unreasonable and I'm sure people will show up.

I am fairly certain that this tournament has been replaced by this: http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=29234.0but I am not 100% certain. Perhaps this thread should be locked. |
