25/25/25 rule:
Vintage 25-proxy unsanctioned tournament
$0.25 for each proxy after 25
$25 CASH entry

All proxies must follow these guidelines:

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

I respectfully disagree on best way to make proxies. For example, I would prefer to see a card that just says

over the whole front, rather than a wall of handwritten sharpie text. I would encourage people to make proxies with just the name of the card, written as large as possible. This will actually lead to fewer moments of confusion, than a table full of little novels, when opponent is trying to read from across the table. Most players will be very familiar with the rules of staple cards, and game play will move along most smoothly if opponents can just identify what it is at all, instantly. If there is a ruling question, your judge staff awaits. Frequently the oracle of older cards is horrendously wrong anyway, so its as if your playing with proxies already. Rules text on proxies actually makes them less clear and more likely to cause confusion and disappointment.

As for the tourney, confidence is high a stlouis delegation will attend this month

I Agree the simpler the better!!  Except when you get to cards that are not as straight forward : )
