New England area players, the time has come! It's your opportunity to choose the team that will represent you in the upcoming New England vs. New York vs. Pennsylvania Grudge Match on August 13th.
The rules for voting are these:
1. You can only vote for Team New England if you are a New England player. You don't have to be planning to come to the Grudge Match, though.
2. To verify that all votes come from New England players only, the voting thread isn't a blind poll. Instead, to cast your vote, make a post with your choices. If you're not especially active in the New England Vintage scene, it might help to mention the area where you live, or a tournament in New England that you played in.
3. You should make three choices for the main team. The three players with the most votes will be the primary members for Team New England. You can only choose from the list of candidates below. If an alternate is needed, the person with the 4th most votes will be bumped onto the team.
4. The voting for the Grudge Match team will be open until August 10th.
The ballot for Team New England is the same list that was used for the Grudge Match II. If you'd like to be on this list, I don't care! So ask and ye shall receive. Also, if you can't make it let me know and I'll take you off.
In no particular order:
Demonic Attorney
Ray Robillard
Steve Houdlette
Eric Dupois
Andy Probasco
Travis LaPlante
John Longo
Jesse Martin
Andrew Farias
Scott Hughes
Stefan Ellsworth
Bill Copes

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Classy mix of really really handsome dudes, quality shit talking, and raw play skill.
Also none of the aforementioned gentlemen have failed to represent NE at previous events like most of the clowns already nominated.

I nominate Stefan. He is a dashing individual, always dresses sharply, and an enjoyment to be/play around. I secondly nominate Brassy. If I said anything about him, it would be an understatement. So I will just leave exclamation points and a smiley !!!!!!!!!!!  I thirdly (and lastly) nominate Ray. F. Robillard. the F stands for finisher. What else do I need to say. alternate: Ben Kowal. I dont care if he does't play anymore, and lets cats drive his car. h |

I'd like to vote for Bill Copes 3 times, that would be a violation of the rules typically, but I submit that Bill Copes has the guile, wit and muscle mass equivalent to 3 magic players.
BILL COPES HUZZAH!!!!

1. Go team - let's try and not come in last place this time.
2. I'm bringing brain energy snacks, H2O, and head bands (gotta keep that sweat out of those eyes) for the team.
3. I picked up a Foil playset of Nefarious Lich to give out as a runner up team prize. I figured it would be a good representation of Nick Detwiler's face after getting silmultaneously waffle stomped and slow rolled by what I can only imagine to be a very stylish, well hydrated, and heartily fed Team New England.

Just throwing this out there. If there's a person from New England who could contribute a playset of something cool to play for for the team competition, that would be great. I'm putting up 4x Scalding Tarn on behalf of Philly, Morgan Chang is putting up 4x Misty Rainforest on behalf of New York, who'll step up for New England?
