CARY, NC - 15 Proxy Type 1 for INSANE PRIZES - 9/15/07

[RaleighNCTourneys]

DATE: Saturday, Septermber 15th, 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.

There will be a cut to a top 8. Losers in the top 4 must play for 3rd and 4th place; however, 5th-8th will be based on top 8 standings and there will be no playoff.

ENTRY: Entry will be $20

PRIZE: Prizes are based on 23 people. However, I will make these prizes guaranteed for 20 people since we have not had a tourney in so long. Up to 23 people I will keep all of the entry money to make my money back, and after 23 people all of the money will be given back as prizes.  Note that the store is taking $40 to let us run the tournament for the day. If we get less than 20 people, I will make the prizes work as best I can (they'll still be really good). If you have any questions or if this isn't clear please let me know.

1st - 4th place:

Note that 1st chooses 1st, then 2nd, etc...

Feinstein Clause: I WILL be playing in this tourney.
 

[Yare]

I'll try to be there; I don't think my schedule will prevent my attendance.  It will be good to beat see all the Arsenal kids again.

These are always fun events and the prize structure is fairly legit, as you can see.  If you are remotely close to Cary (which is near Raleigh), you should come!

[Zherbus]

SCG: Indy is the same day. I don't know if it affects anyone besides me though.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

I did know that before I announced it

I don't know of anyone else who would go that is going to Indy so unless it's a problem for a few other people (speak up), I'm going to keep this date. I have a lot of stuff going on this semester and this is one of the only days I can do a tourney for a while. Sorry for the inconvenience; hopefully you can make it out to the next one.

[Zherbus]

For sure See you in Atlanta hopefully.

[ErkBek]

I'll be there. Out of retirement for now....

[bdg4life]

Ill be there with the rugrats! 
Eric if you need to borrow anything shoot me a pm.

[Zherbus]

Good luck guys.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

There have been some questions about the Sept. 1st banned/restricted announcement. Please keep in mind that any changes made on Sept. 1st will have NO EFFECT on this tourney. Thanks!

[ErkBek]

I'm trying to get together a car leaving from Charleston, SC. So to all you Charleston lurkers PM me or IM me if you are interested in going to this. Anyone along I-95 looking for a ride, I might have space, so don't hesitate to ask.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

2 more weeks! Looks like there will be a bunch of people coming out and a few big names. Don't forget... this is your last chance to play Shahrazad!

[Taterbeme]

Is Machinus gonna be at this event?  I know that I am planning on coming. I talked to Hil and he wants to go. George and the Rugrats will be there. I don't think Cullen is going to make it. King Becker will be in attendance as well as Mr. Cody Vinci. Who else is planning on going?

[RaleighNCTourneys]

DAVID EARLEY, vintage freakin adept!!!!!!!

I also recruited 3 new people from nc state to come out, so there should be a good number of people.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

One week left! Any top 8 predictions???

Mine are:

Myself (mystery techy decky)
Becker (URBana)
David Earley (Long)
Justin H (Stax)
Andrew P (Stax)
George G (Ichorid)
Brandon T (Flash)
Bert Kyle (Ichorid)

[Yare]

Is there a prize for top 8 predictions this time?

[RaleighNCTourneys]

I'll give you a dollar if you do better than me.

[Yare]

I'll give you a dollar if you do better than me.

Each person who does better or just the overall winner?

[RaleighNCTourneys]

Just you.

[Yare]

Ok, here are my predictions.  Others can feel free to make predictions and in the event that I beat Cody and you beat me, I'll surrender the dollar or whatever prize might be given out.

In no particular order:

1. Bert Kyle
2. David Earley
3. Cody Vinci
4. Ryan Quick
5. Becker
6. George G
7. Jesse Pinchot
8. Andrew P

Note: This applies to only the Top8 prediction prize, not any other prize I may acquire.

[Taterbeme]

It is rumored that the mighty Zherbus might be making it to this tourney and not the SCG P9!!!!!!!

[ErkBek]

Gentlemen, Gush Will Storm this Saturday.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

[RaleighNCTourneys]

All Right, Someone Educate Noob About Losing this Saturday...

[ErkBek]

All Right, Someone Educate Noob About Losing this Saturday...

Great, Will Succeed in teaching you and the rest of your crew.

[Yare]

I haven't seen trash talk in a tournament thread for a while.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Long is going to own this weekend.

Is Steve actually coming or is this an unsubstantiated rumor?

[ErkBek]

Is Steve actually coming or is this an unsubstantiated rumor?

The vintage world champion Stephen Menendian? or some other type 1 player named Steve? (which would make much more sense)

Oh, and Long gets beat by the metagame.

[RaleighNCTourneys]

O'Connell... you're as sharp as a marble...

[ErkBek]

O'Connell... you're as sharp as a marble...

Okay, I lose this one.

I associate the name Steve exclusively to Stephen Menendian.

[Zherbus]

I associate the name Steve exclusively to Stephen Menendian.

Ouch.

There used to be a time where he was under MY shadow. Now I'm just 'the other Steve'.

And I haven't made up my mind either way. My original plans were to SCG Indy, but this is like half the distance away.
