        2011 Player of the Year Race:
The Vintage event will count towards the Blue Bell Game Day Player of the Year 2011.  The Player of the Year plays for free at all of the Blue Bell Game Days the following calendar year!  Players can earn points throughout the year by playing vintage, each match win is worth 3 points, each draw is worth 1 point, and each loss is worth 0 points (just like the swiss points system used in tournaments). Players in the Top 8 will be awarded bonus points based on their finish, as follows:

        1st place: 12 points
        2nd place: 9 points
        3rd + 4th place: 6 points
        5th - 8th place: 3 points

The Blue Bell Player of the Year contest has nothing to do with Wizards of the Coast Player of the Year contest.  Do not confuse the two.  This one is for participants in unsanctioned Vintage tournaments held at Alternate Universes in Blue Bell, PA.

This should be a lot of fun, looking forward t...wait. I'm working this all day. FML

=-) j/k Look forward to seeing everyone.

[Womba]

So does the Paul Rietzl rule go into effect for this one....?

[metalhead666]

Im glad that I heard about this from Chaz over a month ago and was able to request off from work so that I can go.

[voltron00x]

I'd be so excited for this, if I could go, ahhhh FML!

[forcethewill]

I wish I played vintage.....

Same, obv.

Also is 0-2 drop the only acceptable scrub-out record to get the $5 discount? Just asking, because as many of you know, I rarely settle for just an 0-2 drop. My recent match history is littered with a bunch of x-3 and even x-4 drops.

Its ok Count Glakula I fixed it for you.  My history is blurred in my own memory.  Bunch of x-9's and such.... savage beatings....

[Mr. Type 4]

this is an interesting idea-  Overlapping tournaments, one starting 3 hours early.  If anyone can make that work, it's Nick Coss.  You know I'll prob at least show up for Vintage.

I wish I played vintage.....

few wishes in this world are so easily granted.  I'd say that if someone comes for Legacy and scrubs there's a really good chance that someone who came prepared for Vintage but did well in the GPT could lend a deck.

Update!  I will have over 30 FBB duals for sale on Saturday.  There are AT LEAST 2 of each!  I cannot hold these for anyone, since multiple people have expressed interest and flaked out.  I've decided that it's first come, first serve, to be fair to everyone who would be interested in them.

FBB DUALS!  WOO!

Hope to see a ton of people there, playing Vintage AND Legacy! (and more formats?!)

-Nick

[Mr. Type 4]

Alright! Player of the year standings are finally up - i wondered when those would come out. 

You best look out, Jake Ganz - we're creeping up on you!

[personalbackfire]

Legacy! woot

[Worldslayer]

Still eighth, huh? Looks like I'm going to this one, then. I wonder how the Legacy event's going to help/hinder T1 attendance?

[Ummmyeh13]

I seem to be getting this question a lot so I wanted to tell everyone at once.

No, you cannot play in both events at the same time. If you play in Legacy and would like to play in Vintage you will have to drop from the Legacy event. This is done in the interest of time and tournament progression. Sorry.

but what if I play belcher in legacy and dredge in vintage?  those end quickly and will pose no time issues

[Iron_Chef]

No, you cannot play in both events at the same time.

[metalhead666]

but I can play quickly...

[voltron00x]

Can I play my matches over the phone while on my way to Cape May?

[metalhead666]

Im ok with it as long as I can play in Legacy and Vintage at the same time.
