First, I would like to apologize for the delay in this report. I have had a very busy week (as all my weeks have been since I took on the position of department head) so I am just getting to type up decklists and write my TO report now.
A big thanks to all for coming. We ended up rounding out the event at 33 players which meant 6 rounds, but, such is life.
Things got off to a pretty rousing start with a bit of printer and computer problems which continued throughout the day. Thankfully with a little ingenuity and time management, the total delay time among all difficulties was only about 20 minutes or so.
Big thanks to Sara Yarrington and Myriad Games for delicious Mana Symbol cookies that were certainly appreciated by all.

(On a personal note, I would like it to be noted that Scott beat two identical Stax players played by quality players to make the finals and then beat another workshop deck. I guess it is clear what the best shop deck in Vintage is
)
Also, it is worth noting that there was not 1(NONE) Flash decks in the tourney!
Despite the attendance of 33(which was only 3 players over my threshold for the prize support) I decided I wanted to run free event for 2/3 a box of Lorywn and some other magic goodies including a bag, hat, boosters, etc.
The finals came down to Stefan Ellsworth and Sean Flynn. Congrats to these two individuals. Sean Flynn took the whole thing down.
Hope you all can make it to my 2 day Legacy event (TML Open 3) on November 3, 4. Look here for more details
