GP Boston (2nd Aug)

[Nomad]

Another North American GP approaches - but the tentative side event schedule has no Sunday Vintage event scheduled AGAIN.  In New England, this seems very wrong, so I'd encourage anyone who'd prefer to see some type 1 properly represented to contact Rob Dougherty, the TO, about it.

Prompt action will get what we want...

I'd love a sunday type 1 but if Rob runs it it's going to be awful.

I emailed him at his Gmail address.  I don't expect a response, but I'll let you know if I get one.

Not only did I get a response, I got it within hours of sending my email.  Here's what he said:

Nick,

I'm not allowed to run any events using proxies at the GP. Thus I deiced to run Legacy instead of Vintage on Sunday.

Do you have interest in Legacy?
Do you think we could get more players for Vintage then Legacy given the no proxies rule?

Thanks,
Rob

Ideas?

This is curious seeing as they were able to do so at GP: Chicago... Legacy would no doubt have more players than no-proxy Vintage. 

Then again, this could be a good opportunity for an American no-proxy Vintage tournament at a high-profile event, if they schedule it and provide time to build some buzz (and the prize support is sufficient).

I would play no proxy vintage but only because I could borrow the cards

It would be more buzz-worthy if it was somewhere that people not in the far NorthEast could actually get to, and if it wasn't the same weekend as a scheduled large event in Pittsburgh which people are actually interested in.  As is, no one outside of the super upper NE is going to care whether it is proxy or even exists or not.

For reference, GP Chicago was like a who's who of Vintage elite.  GP Boston will be, at best, the same people as all the other NE tournaments plus maybe 1 or 2 other people like TK who are trying to win pro points at the GP and happen to play Vintage.  Not really anything monumental.
