I know all the results from February haven't been put in yet probably, but I wanted to release some of the data I collected from The Council for 6+ round tournaments (also included SCG Atlanta since SCG Jersey was cancelled):

SCG Nashville (280 players)
GP Paris (1580 players)
SCG St. Louis (390 players)
SCG Atlanta (316 players)
TeTe Open (113 players)
MKM (39 players)
LML 2 (67 players)
Olympus 2 (73 players)
Cerebus 7 (48 players)
FRLL 6 (33 players)

These were the tournaments I gathered data from, top 8 only, but might add the top 16 or 32 of GP Paris because it was such a large tournament.

Of the possible 80 slots there were 30 different decks, the top performers were:

Team America 9
Sneak and Show 8
Miracles 7
Esper Blade, Deathblade, and UWR Delver 5
Elves and Shardless BUG 4
Reanimator, RUG, Lands and Painter 3
Bant Aggro, Depths, Jund, and Burn 2
13 other decks each had one placing.

Any chance we can get the 15 other decks that placed once?

ANT
Goblins
UG Infect
Dredge
Belcher
MUD
Maverick
TaxRack
Esper Walker
Nic Fit
Fish
Doomsday
UR Burn

I think I miscounted as I included DnT in my initial listing but didn't place so far.

Tournament numbers for February still seem rather low, considering the number of top 8s is only about 1/3 of other months.

It's a short month, it featured a prerelease weekend (no other events run that weekend), and one of the SCG Opens was cancelled due to weather.

Yeah, between the pre-release and GP Paris there weren't a lot of 6 round tourneys in Europe. I added SCG Atl to make up for the cancellation of SCG Jersey.

Three more tournaments were added to February, I'm going to give it another week if anymore is added before releasing the final numbers. Jund picked up a couple more slots and only deatblade had 2 or more placings in any of the 3 top 8s along with three new decks to the list: Tezzeret Control, Death and Taxes, and OmniTell. Goblins and Bant Aggro also got a couple more slots.

Not sure if you have the BoM Qualifier run at Tales of Adventure in Coopersburg, PA. Top 8 decklists here. (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?27248-Coopersburg-PA-Bazaar-of-Moxen-Legacy-Qualifier-Plane-Ticket-February-22&p=795646&viewfull=1#post795646)

Was it posted to The Council? I'm not digging around every site for lists just those that are easily accessed and used for the DTB criteria.
