It's a new year and that means some changes! We are returning to a slightly more low-key series of events, with a $25 entry fee and $1,000 in prizes. The reason behind this is we want to make our events accessible to more players, and we received a lot of feedback that a $40 entry fee turned some people away. We will be running one event each month at Top Deck Games, and participating in these events will earn you points towards 1 and 2 round byes at the 2014 Winter Open (Top 4 overall points earners get 2 byes, and 5th-8th get 1 bye). Additionally, the eight players who have earned the most points over the course of 2014 will be invited to compete in a single-elimination 8-man event at the Winter Open where the winner takes home $500 in Top Deck Games store credit. How do you earn points? Simple, you win matches. Let's say you play in an event where you go 4-2 in the Swiss rounds, win in the Top 8, and lose in the Top 4. You would earn 12 points for your Swiss performance (3 points per win, 1 point per draw, and 0 points per loss) and an additional 3 points for winning in the Top 8, for a total of 15 points! Also, any events that Top Deck Games runs that is a "larger" event (the Summer Open, for example) will be a 2x multiplier! Here's to more Vintage; I'm certainly looking forward to seeing everyone in 2014!
The first event!
Date: Saturday, January 25th 2014
Location: Top Deck Games!
Address: 55 Haddon Ave, Haddon Township, NJ 08108
Registration: 11:00 AM
Play Begins: 12:00 PM
Format: Vintage
Entry Fee: $25
K-Value: 10-proxy unsanctioned
REL: Competitive, decklists required and penalized for errors
We all know that many Magic players have some time management issues. To reward a random player who shows up early, at every Vintage event I run, if you register before 11:30, you will be entered into a drawing for a free booster pack! Who doesn't like free stuff?! Also, as always, we do allow late entries, but with a Round 1 loss.
Prizes!
1st: $400 Store Credit
2nd: $200 Store Credit
3rd: $100 Store Credit
4th: $100 Store Credit
5th-8th: $50 Store Credit

? The results page is littered with their reports... t8 was: Tom Dixon (Philly City Vault) vs. Josh Butker (UB Ritual DD) Mark Tocco (BUG Control vs. ??? Justin Kohler (UW Bomberman) vs. ??? Will Magrann (Espresso) vs. ??? Mark beat me in the semi-finals and then lost to Justin who got Will. We prize split the top 4. I'm pretty sure the t8 also had another Shop and an Oath deck (Fenton iirc). |

Fortunately the leak didn't interfere with the fun on Sunday. The dumpster thing is maddening. Scrap metal costs are really that high, that someone would take the time and energy to steal a dumpster in the middle of the night? Really?
