***Scroll to Bottom for Top 8 Prediction Contest***

Note that we are now allowing 15 proxies instead of 10.

DATE: Saturday, April 7th, 2007

TIME: Tournament Begins at 1pm SHARP. We will be starting on time for this event, so please be signed up with a decklist turned in by 1pm.

REGISTRATION: Registration begins at 12pm. Decklists with sideboards are required.

LOCATION: Cary, NC

ADDRESS:

Sports Zone
1022 Ryan Road
Cary, NC 27511

FORMAT: Vintage (Type 1) with 15 proxies allowed. All proxies should be on a basic land card and must include the name, mana cost, card type and all relevant game text. You can also follow Starcity's guidelines for making proxies.

ENTRY: Entry will be $20

PRIZE: Prizes are based on 21 people. The store is taking $40 to let us run the tournament for the day, so the remainder of the money will be payed out in full. If there are somehow less than 21 people... I will find a way to make the prizes we have work as best as possible... but there will always be 100% payout after the store gets $40. For each person after 21... the extra money will go to 5th, then 6th, then 7th, then 8th place... and then reset at 1st place after 25 people. For example... if we get 27 people... 1st - 4th place base prizes are the same.... 5th-8th gets ~$20 each in prizes and 1st and 2nd gets an additional ~$20 each in prizes. If you have any questions or if this isn't clear please let me know.

**UPDATE** $80 in CASH has been donated entirely for prizes to go to 5th - 8th prizes by 4 members of Arsenal. The prize stucture will remain the same, now with 5th-8th place prizes  ~$20 each (cash or prize). I will continually update/add to the list of prizes you can choose from at the $20 level from now until the tourney.

1st place: Unlimited Timetwister
2nd place: Choice of English Mana Drain or FBB Italian Underground Sea
3rd place: English Mana Drain or FBB Italian Underground Sea (whatever 2nd didn't choose)
4th place: Revised Tundra and Force of Will
5th - 8th place: $20 Cash or Any Prize Listed Below (check for updates)


The losers in the top 4 will play each other (if there is no split) to determine who gets 3rd and who gets 4th. 5th-8th places will be determind by rankings after swiss and how you do in the top 8.

9th Place (after cut to top 8) will receive a foil japanese MPS promo Izzet League Island donated from Brandon Todaro!

Like I said, for each person past 21... each $20 entry will be added to the prizes. You can choose to get the $20 in cash or choose from one of the following (5th-8th place get priority on these, then 1st, 2nd, etc. if need be):

1) 3x Foil Mana Leak
2) 4x Apocalypse Llanowar Wastes
3) Foil Urza's Destiny Phyrexian Negator
4) Morphling
5) Tinker + Darksteel Colossus + Foil Engineered Explosives
6) Intuition + Foil DCI Impulse
7) 1 of Each Foil Unhinged Land
8) Foil 8th Ed. City of Brass
9) Foil 8th Ed. City of Brass
10) Foil Signed Decree of Justice + Foil DCI Disenchant
11) Polluted Delta
12) Flooded Strand
13) Gifts Ungiven + Intuition
14) Signed Exalted Angel + Foil Unhinged Island
15) Signed Exalted Angel + Foil Unhinged Island
16) Foil FNM Brainstorm + Foil Unhinged Island + Foil Urza's Saga Island
17) Wooded Foothills + $5
18) Windswept Heath + $5

If you live in driving distance please make an effort to attend so that we can continue to hold these events. We usually take a short break for lunch and there is plenty of food, drinks, singles and sleeves at the store. Thanks and hope to see everyone there.

***TOP 8 PREDICTION CONTEST***

To anyone planning on attending:

If you top 8, there is a good chance you will be selecting something from the ~$20 prize level... so give me some ideas of a cards (or group of cards) valued at ~$20 that you'd like to see, and I'll try to pick them up.

Thanks.
