[Parking
Parking is the main reason most of our larger events are on Sundays
Behind the store there are numbered spaces, #1 to #11
Starting from the left,

Spaces #1, # 2 and #3 are for Universal Cycles
They are closed on Sunday, OK to park there

Spaces #4, #5 and #6 are vacant as of the writing of this post but that MAY CHANGE,
I will update if that happens

Spaces #7 and #8 (either side of the telephone/power pole belong to Sun Cafe
DON'T park there

Spaces #9, #10, and belong to us - Knight Ware, OK to 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 should be signs

any questions, post, call or email me
thanks

Lori, I don't think I will be able to play, but I could help with getting people into WER and judging for the first few rounds.

[Wynk]

Thanks for the great tournament Lori, always a pleasure to play at your tournaments.

[Koby]

Did some simple analysis of the tournament archetypes. Some thing are obvious (Vial decks did exceedingly well). Something things are not as obvious: Tempo and Combo did well relative to the amount that were played. Control - well it did poorly.

The "strength" was a number assigned from Top 8 and distributed down according to the amount of rounds. Each deck received 1 point. Then, Top 8 received one point each for the rounds in the tournament, and one additional point for advancing in the top 8. Thus, 1st place gets 1+6+3, as did 2nd for splitting. 3rd place only receives 9 since it did not advance from Semifinals. This is simply to judge the relative strength of each deck and is not exact; but it is similar to how TCdecks compiles their data. I simply extended this down to the entire tournament to see the micro level.

[Ozymandias]

Shouldn't death and taxes have 19 points, then? After all, it had a finals split (10), as well as a 3rd place finish (9). Also, it would help to see the number of players per archetype, especially for the ones with more points. Also, how did dragon stompy end up with 6 points?

[Koby]

Technically yes - but it's obvious from standings that all Vial decks got 1st,2nd,3rd.

Dragon Stompy got Top 12, so it played 6 rounds. Like I said, it's not exact, but puts more weight on better placing decks. I used this method:

Top 12 - 6 points
Top 16 - 5 points
Top 24 - 3 points
Top 32 - 2 points

[Wynk]

Thank you for the analysis Koby.

Would we be able to extrapolate any data from the mono-colored resource denial decks placing 1/2/3 and 11th?

[Koby]

Thank you for the analysis Koby.

Would we be able to extrapolate any data from the mono-colored resource denial decks placing 1/2/3 and 11th?

I would even be hesitant of lumping the same mana-denial strategy of Merfolk with D&T; they use similar tools but the result is different. Dragon Stompy is altogether different from Vial decks, so it's not on the same footing. I suspect Dragon Stompy did well because of the abundance of 3c decks, which Blood Moon answers incredibly well. There was also a high concentration of S&T strategies, which should be noted.
