WER (Wizards Event Reporter) standings just prior to the cut will be used to determine 3rd/4th and 5th-8th

Parking
Parking is the main reason most of our larger events are on Sundays
Behind the store there are numbered spaces.
Knight Ware has spaces 9, 10, and 11
but
on Sundays, 2 of our 3 neighbors are usually closed
Sun Cafe (spaces 7 and 8 - the ones on either side of the telephone pole)
is now open on Sunday, please don’t park there

The streets are metered but not checked on sundays
The first street to the west of us is Lankersheim Blvd..
On Lankersheim to the south there is unregulated street parking
Just west of Lankersheim (north side of the street) is an open lot that says
additional MTA parking. It does not get used much on the weekends
unless the hollywood bowl is running something and then there will be signs

any questions, post, call or email me

thanks

39 players. Including Trash Talkers of all Walks of Life.

I made top 8 myself, playing Fair.dec against 4 Hive Mind decks along the way.

True story - putting hate for Hive Mind in your sideboard will force you to be paired against it all day.

Summary of the day -
Round 1 - MUC (2-0)
Round 2 - Hive Mind (2-1)
Round 3 - Aggro Loam (2-1)
Round 4 - Hive Mind (2-0)
Round 5 - ID
Round 6 - Hive Mind (0-2) was locked for T8 at this point
Top 8 - Hive Mind (0-2)

Congrats to both on your finishes!

Glad to see a large turn out at one of the two stores (hopefully the double booking doesn't continue in the future). I was one of the 10 that showed up at MTG Deals (I went there because it's a lot closer and started earlier). I had a good time despite the low turnout, and it looks like you guys did too!

I showed up with Dead Man Ale all prepared for control decks. Immediately got paired up against Ozymandias, had a close and epic match. Didn't see any more blue and dropped. :(

As far as the turnout...if you were at all surprised, you obviously haven't been playing Legacy in Los Angeles very long.

I forgot to mention that Ryan Bogner spent the last few rounds helping HJ Kevin Long. Of course, Kevin is way overdue in becoming a Level 2 himself, which we hope to remedy soon. With Kevin's masterful instruction, Ryan scored 92% on the test and is now a Level 1 Judge. (Passing is 70%, he got two questions wrong, one of which was out of left field and I had no idea what the answer was.)

If anyone else is interested in testing for L1 (so they qualify to get things like Bob (http://sales.starcitygames.com/carddisplay.php?product=284332) in the mail), I highly recommend helping judge any event with any certified judge. If a certified judge recommends you for the test, I or one of the other L2s in the area will test you.

Dropping from an event, even one being voluntarily run at Comp REL, and shadowing the actual judge may even get you there.

I want to judge. Mostly because playing all the time can be boring, and I know most of the rules.

Like I tell people, I have always made Day 2 and usually the Top 8 cut of every tournament I have judged...

And with the new lowered standards for Level 1, someone like Liam might qualify to judge!
