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 Seventh Event!
Date: Sunday, August 17th 2014
Location: Top Deck Games!
Address: 55 Haddon Ave, Haddon Township, NJ 08108

K-Value: 10-proxy unsanctioned (but a 2x multiplier towards the yearlong standings!)

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.

2nd: $300 Store Credit
3rd: $200 Store Credit
4th: $200 Store Credit

This one time at GenCon ......
I comboed out after being hit by a 4/4 spaghetti monster (It had to block "One Shot the Robot"
/Show and Tell is a helluva of a drug) 3 turns in a row the beginnings of which i had no cards in hand.
Hopefully I get to do some more crazy stuff on the 17th....

Good news is, this guy may actually already be in the area this Sunday, as I am coming back through on my vacation.
Bad news is, I forgot my cards. Does anyone happen to have a deck at all that I could borrow Sunday? I can play anything. Anyone at all? FYI, don't text or call me, my phone is broken and I am still trying to figure out a fix. I phone 4s that will not charge at all, the connected/not connected battery screen doesn't even come up. The charger does work for other phones though. Any suggestions there would help too.
