My only dream is that yours never come true.

Sigh.
I have to choose between this and two-headed giant states.
Normally this would'nt be a choice, except I and many others are trying to get points for both byes at GP boston and building towards a rating for the 2 headed PT San Diego later in May.
Two-headed states is basically a feeder tourney for GP Boston.
I don't think a worse date could have been picked unless it actually fell on GP Boston itself. =(
So that's my (and many other locals I've talked to) dilemma. I suspect you'll get alot of out of towners but will get hit significantly on the local player numbers. CT/RI/MA players will be hitting states hard and fast I suspect.
I hope I'm wrong and you get a nice turnout, because the mana leak is a great tourney. I'm going to significantly weigh my options and will try to make this if possible.
Good Luck Ray.

9/19 Legacy for a Lotus! http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...cy-for-a-Lotus!
I was going to go to Geneseo, but this seems alot better, and more people I know will be there. So, yeah, going to this instead. Awesome prize support Ray. If any canadians are going, PM me and I'll see if we can work something out.
Also, mad hang outs <3<3
I am one who would prefer to go to both days of this and 2HG states as well. If you do switch it, you could push it up a week to 2/24-2/25 (which, according to my very brief investigation into tournaments in the northeastern area, would conflict only with a Baltimore PTQ) or 3/11-12 (Rochester PTQ) or 3/18-19 (Milford PTQ).
Just suggestions, of course, but put me down for finding another weekend to facilitate 2HG.

Dude, that's like 2 weeks prior to this event. Unless it's a matter of funding or something, there's no reason you shouldn't be at that tournament. :pI was going to go to Geneseo, but this seems alot better, and more people I know will be there.

Just so people don't think it is some conspiracy if they notice a difference in what the point prize structure was when this thing was first posted and now, let me explain.
I was driving home from a tournament yesterday and realized that I didn't work the cost of three all day employees/judges into my prize structure. It was for that reason that I could easily have lost money on the day when you consider all the prizes(including side prizes and Magic Trivia, etc) that I am doing.
For that reason, I knocked most of the prize amounts down by about $10-$15. What does this mean? Well, you might only get 520 points instead of 535 points. Something like that.
I hope you all understand that this is simply in the interest of allowing me to be able to hold more of these events in the future. Without a business backing, after all, I can't really suck up a loss to easily on something I do as a hobby.

ALSO...The group room rate is set up.
Call the Ramada at 203-375-8866 and ask for the card tournament room block for March 2 and 3. The room rate is $69 and all you have to do is reserve a room(s) with a credit card. There are only 10 rooms available at this point so act soon to ensure close lodgings.
Ray- Your prize structure is incredibly generous, even after the modification. I don't think people will have any problem with you making sure that you aren't in the hole after one of these. We are very appreciative of all the work you do! Plus, we definitely want them to continue :) The first one was great!

The return of a Legend(in his own words)
BigBear and I are going, but I had some problems getting the desk chick to believe me that there is a discount. Are all ten rooms filled already?
I still want to go to this, and still don't have a ride and/or place to stay. Thoughts anyone?
Ray,
Possible additions to the prize pool could be foil stuff. Legacy staples that are pimp, like foil fetches or something. Also maybe unlimited/FBB duals and stuff like that. Not that I expect you to get a lot of stuff at this point seeing it is less than 2 weeks away, but that stuff would be cool.
