Vintage Players of the Northeast: IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN! Full of Win Games is proud to present it's 4th tournament of the Full of Win Games Vintage Series. As the Best Four Days in Gaming (GENCON 2012) constantly draws closer, it's our mission to make sure the North East takes home Vintage Worlds again. One of the reasons the Northeast has the best Vintage players in the United States, is because of the fantastic work of the TOs over the years. Without their constant hard work, dedication, and commitment, Vintage would not be what it is today. With that being said, this tournament should be a real treat. With the support of Nick Coss and Nick Detwiler, I proudly present.....
The Full of Win Games NEV QualifierFor those of you who don't know what a Qualifier is, I'll explain IT MEANS YOU QUALIFY!Qualify for what?, you may ask. Well, I'll tell you. The winner of this tournament gets an automatic invite to the End of the Year NEV CHAMPIONSHIP. Some of you may also ask "Vito, what happens at this End of the Year NEV CHAMPIONSHIP?" The answer is two parts 1. I scold you for living your life under a rock 2. I direct you to this thread -> http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=43560.0So come out for an intense day of Vintage, and leave a GODDAM CHAMPION! Format: Vintage Date: Saturday, June 30, 2012 Time: 12:00 (Registration @ 11:00 AM) Entry Fee: $25 Swiss Rounds to Top 8 @ 50 min rounds 10 proxies allowed for free.

What if you are already invited?
Additionally, I'm assuming this won't grant any points toward the series as well yar?

All I heard there was "Waaah, If I win all I get is this Mox Ruby". Don't worry, you're still allowed to play if you're already qualified. |

You go, you play, you keep someone else out making it that much easier on yourself in December. |

I wanted to know if it passed down if someone who was already invited won. But thanks for assuming I was complaining. |

 C'mon Tom, you do love a good complaint. But no, it will not pass down. It was a good question.

So is the prize a straight-up invite to the end-of-year event, or the 24 points needed to otherwise secure the invitation? Because if it were the latter, that would give a reason for Tom (and others already qualified, not mentioning any names) reason to play.

As long as I can find two or three people to split the costs of an almost 300 mile round-trip with, I'll be there. That is always the case with any Vintage tournament not located at Top Deck Games.
The prize support is ample enough without NEV points thrown in. Both Tom and I were at the last FoW event, where 0 NEV points were up for grabs.
Vito's store is very nice, and anybody who includes a mushroom pizza in the tournament's food order without me asking is OK in my book!
With that being said, if anybody from the Philly area is interested in going to this tournament, give me a holler.

Part of the reason I made the trip last time was because of supporting a great store/person. I suggest everyone nearby or with a full car to go - it's worth it. The prize support is quite ample for this one, and if there was no NEV Q tacked on/passing down I would definitely be more interested in going(assuming I can find some more people to split costs). I just don't want to be in the position of dream crushing someone when I don't have to be. It's not worth the stress or grief of getting as much of a car together as I can and making such a long trip to be gunning for 2nd place/conceding out of respect. Just because I'm not allured doesn't mean anything about the event - I'm only one person. If I was local or not Q'd I'd probably be very interested in going to this. I hope this event is a resounding success. |

Well I would think the simple solution would be to go, support fow and if you end up in the finals with someone who doesn't already have an invite....you have options that allow you to make sure they do. |

I was suprised to see Jeff playing Standard last weekend. I hope you can convince him to play some REAL Magic.
Shops, Dredge, Landstill, Big Blue, etc. Pretty much anything but straight combo is playable right now.

Just got a MAJOR update to our cases. Added a TON of duals and legacy/vintage staples. Plenty of different goodies to spend that hard-earned store credit on!

If anyone is looking to come up from the south NJ/Philly area, my place makes a good starting point and I'll happily drive. My usual caravan is not attending, I'll gladly drive a new one.

Google Telford, PA and make sure it's good for you guys. It might be iffy for Jon, but I'm sure you two would benefit, and I'd happily have you three as my caravan. |

Telford is fine for me, only a short drive from my house. I believe that Jon will meet me at my house and we will head to yours from there. |

If anyone has an interest in getting to this, and needs a ride, be sure to post on the thread. I'll do my best to try and see what contacts we have in the community, maybe someone's swinging your way!
As a side note guys, in addition to all of the other 1st place prizes, you DO get to select the card art for the NEXT Full of Win Vintage Series playmat. The only rule is that it must be a card in your deck! Dust off those crazy one-ofs!
