We had a turnout of 17 for a split-format Vintage/Legacy/Vintage proxy tournament at Comic Town in Columbus, Ohio. The format was three rounds of Vintage, three rounds of Legacy, and a cut to the top four. Ultimately a few extra rounds than were necessary, so we're still working on things. Players seemed to enjoy the two formats, and several said they were interested in playing more Vintage and having similar tournaments regularly. We'll be looking into that for sure! Thanks to everyone who came out and to Ryan and Comic Town for hosting!

Top four came out like this:

1. Nat Moes - Grixis Control/Belcher - 18 points
2. Bobby Colegrove - Gush-Pyro Tendrils/Elves! - 15 points
3. Walter Hengely - Grixis Thieves/Aggro Loam - 13 points
4. Minhajul Hoq - Mystic Mentor/Miracles - 12 points

Nat beat Minhajul (Grixis Control beat Mystic Mentor)
Bobby beat Walter (Tendrils beat Grixis Thieves)

Bobby and Nat split and went home.

Yeah, I don't know why there were no Shops other than that none of our regular potential Shops players (Twaun, Trogdon, Greg Price, various Michiganders) showed up. The strategy just may not be attractive enough for Legacy players to pick up without some other encouragement, not for any reason except that they're more used to playing blue, I guess. There was no Dredge and only one Oath, too.

Dark Confidant!!! Great job, Nat. 

Thanks! I realized after the Vintage Swiss rounds that, using this deck, with two Bobs in play (which I did in round 2), you can die immediately from 20 life by flipping BSC and one of the delve spells. Didn't happen, though.

I'm Minhajul Hoq, came in 4th (being crushed by Nat twice in Vintage =P)
Just wanted to say that my vintage list was miserable, don't play it.  Only made top 4 by virtue of my legacy prowess (pun intended).
Awesome event, and I'll be sure to play in any more that we have in the future!
