Wow…what a weekend.
As usual, rather than write a narrative, its easy for me to write my report in topic form, so here we go.
Props: As always, thank you to the players. After reading through all the commentary in the Vroman post about Alan’s pitiful prize support, and seeing the player reactions, I am reminded that tournaments exist only to the extent that they have player support. For that reason, thank you, thank you, thank you for coming out and sharing in the experience that is TMD OPEN. I hope each and every one of you enjoyed yourself and will come back. If there is anything I can do to make your experience better in the future, feel free to write me. I welcome feedback.
Props version 2.0: Okay, so you have player support. Tons of people ready to battle out in Vintage competition.
Q: How do you ensure that the event runs?
A: Hire good judges!
With two level 2 judges on staff that busted their humps all weekend, things went quite smoothly. The first time I worked with Jeremy and Joe, there was a bit of a learning curve to overcome in just simply how we did things. Now a few events in, I feel like we are starting to gel. Often times, I would think of something that needed to be taken care of and I would look up to see Joe or Jeremy on it already, or vice versa. As a matter of fact, the one thing I disagree with in the Vroman thread was the way the players disrespected the judges. Seriously, guys, Judges give so much of themselves(12 hour work day anyone?) and don’t get enough praise. Thank you Joe, Jeremy and all judges. I appreciate you guys more than you know.
Player space: I apologize as I know some of you were a bit cramped on Day 1. Gaming ETC is a big store, and we would have been fine, but they had 2-3 times as many Yugioh players as the normally have on a Saturday. In the future, I will try to plan ahead better to fight for as much space as we can manage to make it as easy for you all to get around as possible.
“Did I seem preoccupied?”: At events like this, I love that I get to catch up with old friends I haven’t seen in a while. The problem is, you have to catch me at the right time. On a number of occasions, someone would come up and talk with me when I was trying to fix a problem or enter results, or pair a round and I may have appeared to be disinterested in the conversation. PLEASE, if you felt like I was disconnected, don’t take it personally. I was just very busy and it was not my intention to give anyone the cold shoulder. I didn’t want to shun anyone, but I had a lot of time sensitive issues that I was handling. If you felt ignored, please accept my apologies as it was not intentional.
Team Competition:
This highly competitive competition to determine bragging rights came down to the wire and was determined by the wording in my original post for this event. I had chose to include top 16 points toward total points and in the end it caused team Meandeck to edge out Team 18 year old girls are naïve. The teams event took in $108(12 teams * $9 per team) and so the $51 trophy and $30 in cash were awarded to Meandeck, the remaining $27 went to Team 18 year old girls are naïve to be awrded when I see them next.

Write a report: If you enjoyed the event. Write a report. Tell everyone how you did, what you enjoyed, and what sucked.
Video Coverage:
I really wanted to do video coverage to be recorded and posted later after I failed at achieving this at TML Open 4. The problem at The Leak was that I couldn’t put a table near the judges station to plug my camera into the computer running the event, and when I had my old laptop recording on the other side of the room it would freeze up. My solution for this event was to plan ahead and setup a table jutting out off the reg table. Round 1 came with a Steve M feature match, however, such a crowd gathered around the table that my judges and I could not get in or out. We decided to can it for the day, but with a smaller group day 2, and with an opportunity to renumber table 1 further from the reg table, we were able to make it happen for day 2. Therefore, if any of you are interested check out the great coverage at

An interesting note about Byes:
I determined the proportion of total players who had purchased byes and compared it to the proportion of top 16 players who purchased a bye and found that the proportion in the top 16 was LESS than the total proportion for the whole population. Granted, I know that this was a single sample of observations, yet it may suggest that byes aren’t overly unfair to those who don’t have them.
Many errors for decklist issues: Guys I can’t stress this enough. An error from a bad decklist is the one error that should never be made.since you have plenty of time to double and triple check your list. Judges don’t like giving penalties for decklist errors anymore than players like getting them, so be sure to always double check your list.
At any rate, on to the main event.
