Greetings, y'all.

The Spring Legacy Classic is here again, but this time, the top prize is an Unlimited Mox! This tournament is located in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, which is only about 2 hours north of Seattle, Washington. The date of the tournament is Saturday, MAY 10th 2014


Entrance fee will likely be $40 to support of prize pool of something like this:

1st: Unlimited Mox Ruby
2nd: 2x Force of Will
3rd: 1x Force of Will
4th: 1x Force of Will
5th: 1x Flooded Strand
6th: 1x Flooded Strand
7th: 1x Flooded Strand
8th: 1x Flooded Strand

Important tournament details:
-Tournament will start at 10:30 am, registration will start at 9:30am. $40 entrance. US cash is welcome at par, you don't need CDN cash! Free coffee and donuts while they last during registration, since I know traveling for tournament can be a pain.

-Border stuff: To cross the border into Canada, you need either a Passport or Enhanced Driver's License. Look up your local DMV to see how you can get the EDL. It's cheaper and faster than getting a passport. Since it's 3+ weeks to the event, you might also be able to renew your passport if you rush the process. Also, please be reminded to look up the Canadian Border services website for what you can and cannot bring across the border. Just remember than in case you're a weapon owner, you can't take anything across the border.

-Tournament will be run unsanctioned in response to a request that would allow a WotC employee to play, albeit using competitive REL enforcement and still requiring no proxies. If you would no longer attend given this, please PM me.

-If you need cards to play, or have cards to get rid of, I have and am always looking for staples to host further tournaments with. Bring some trade stuff!

-Prize support is guaranteed for 30 people, listed prize support is for about 35. If we get more than 50 people, which is expected, I will upgrade support to make sure more people get prizes! If we get more than 40 people, but not 50, I'll still bump support to 9th and then random prizes for non Top 9'ers!

-Facebook event page is: https://www.facebook.com/events/1396244317314122/ <--- In case of any disputes between this page and the Event page, the event page is correct.

-Location is at "Craving for a Game" gaming store in Surrey, British Columbia: 10153 King George Hwy, Surrey, BC V3T 2W1. This is located in Central City Mall on the corner of 100th and King George Highway (also called King George Boulevard). For easy access, park on the roof and enter near "The Brick" and "Bed Bath and Beyond". Parking is free and plentiful.

-There's also a food court and many washroom facilities.

-The drinking age in Canada is 19 years old. There's a pub just 2 minutes away in the mall itself. We'll be attending after the tournament!

Accommodations:

-There are tons of nearby hotels. Some of them include:

Sheraton Vancouver Guildford - 4 star, ~$120
Days Inn - ~70
Surrey Central Inn - $65


------------------------------------


If there are any questions or concerns regarding the tournament, please post here or on the Facebook page! I'd be happy to address any concerns.

Van City Legacy represent! This is going to be awesome!

If anyone is interested in Surfing some Couches, I've got some room for 2-3 people at my place; so for any of you Americans looking to travel on the cheap, feel free to PM me and we can talk details. Also, I'll probably cook you breakfast ;)

Excited to see some new faces out here!

ESG, Phazonmutant, and I are planning on heading up Beyond The Wall in the far North. Our ride situation isn't locked down and we may or may not have a 4th guy trying to go with us. You should ping ESG and see what's up.

It looks like I'll be the only person coming up from King's Landing (Portland), as most of my crew is claiming they are too poor/busy to make it. I will be there, though!

Just a reminder - I may be able to host a couple more people if that influences anyone on the fence.

Getting stoked for this!!

Thanks for posting that reminder/update. I'll let a couple interested parties know. Maybe I can get these nerds to leave the confines of their neighborhood for once!

BUMP.

Mr Shine. Do you still have room available for American stowaways? And how many fugitives can you handle?

MrShine
05-07-2014, 09:53 PM
I could potentially host 1-2 more people. Check your inbox, or get them to msg me.

I'm out of touch all day tomorrow and Friday during the day, so tomorrow evening would be the latest that I could firm anything up ahead of time. That being said, I'm generally open to helping people out last minute if they show up and desperately need a place to sleep... I've been there myself so I know how it is ;)

Also, have you seen that prize support?! So Mox. Much Spice.

Hooooooo boy.

This shit just got real! Is Prozak gonna be playing too? One time I lent him Baleful Strixen through Cap'n Bant aka Hawley. That might be the saddest humblebrag ever.

Big props to everyone in and around top 8 for making me feel as chill as possible during the games in the elimination rounds. The event was a blast to play, most notably in the finals, and all of my opponents throughout the day were very pleasant and friendly despite their lands mostly not untapping during the untap step as normal.
