Southern California Legacy Tourny

[APriestOfGix]

I know threads about this exist, but i want a clean one to start this on...

Are you willing to Drive down to LA (read Rose Bowl/Pasadena Area) to have a tournament. If enough people say yes (and can offer prizes) i will talk to our store keepers and see if they will do this (they said they would, but we have to double check.

Date would be in September.October, on a Saturday/Sunday depending on what will work for the most people.

I'm looking at like the third Sat. in September right now...

Edit: Mod, please fix my spelling error, and delete this edit, i'm like spelling retarded.

[xsockmonkeyx]

Approximately when would this go down?

[Shion]

Hey, I registered here to reply to this.

I'd be interested in this, thought I can't be sure that I'd be able to make it.

Definatly need more Legacy in So Cal however.

[APriestOfGix]

Ok so we have around 9 people that can/might make it.

We need upwards of 20 guys, i can try doing a 16, but 20 would be much better.

Also prizes, I'm going to be putting up a little.


4 x (Jap) Goblin Welder
1 x Taiga (R)
1 x Bayou (R)


Thats it for what i have as prizes, i'm kinda short on extra goodies.

If anyone else has some prizes they would be willing to donate, please let me know, once we get 16+ people, I'm going to talk to the Store, and find a date.

Potential Dates...

September 15th
September 22nd
September 29th
October 6th
October 13th

It could be later, but it would nice to be able to do one sooner than later.

Times would be around 12noon-Whenever. There is pleanty to eat around here.

The Location i'm looking at is:

Comic Odyssey
319 S. Arroyo Parkway
Pasadena, CA 91105

I have talked with the owners before, and if i get a little more intrest i'll talk with them again, and find a date.

[Xenocide]

I'm pretty interested, and I can try to get other people from around here (Santa Barbara) to come too. I think most of those dates would be fine for me (just let me know at least a couple of weeks in advance).

[Tog]

September 29th and onward would be the best as I will be going down to San Diego on the 23rd. I can guarantee two people will come with a possible 3rd. Thanks for the tourney.

[MoogleConspiracy]

I'd probably be able to make it, but later september would be best. I'll be coming from Irvine, so it's not that bad of a drive. Sounds good.

[lavafrogg]

Me and four people will be there from AZ if this thing actually happens. Im from Long Beach so it is no problem. If the prizes are better I can bring more.

[APriestOfGix]

Ok, i am going to ask the store about "October 6th", if that dosn't work, the next October week, as most people are saying later.

I'm looking to try and keep the cost to a minimun, just enough so i don't go bankrupt paying the store, (prizes are out of my own pocket).

About the prizes, thats all i got guys, i reallt have VERY little extra playables, i mean who really wants to see a playset of Living Wish, or 1 x City of Traitors for getting 4th place?

So if ANYONE can please find something you can put up. Like if you have 5 of a dual, offer up the last.

As it stands right now...


Date: October 9th (TBC)
Time: 12:00-Whenever
Sancitioned: Nope sorry, but i can't count on the player base, to bother, besides, if this goes well, i'll try more and pay a judge.
Entry Fee: Looking around $10, maybe a bit more...
Prizes:
1 x Taiga (Revised)
1 x Bayou (Revised)
4 x Goblin Welders (Jap.)

[isdepopecatholic]

I'm about 20 minutes from Pasadena, I would totally be up for this.

[ForceofWill]

Way to far away for me. If I lived out there I would.

[Gambit]

You could try to do some type of pre-reg; with a couple bucks off. That way, if people saw there was going to be a reasonable tournout they would be more likely to attend. I would be interested in driving from Santa Barbara with a couple friends, but not if there is going to be 6 people.

[xsockmonkeyx]

90% Ill be there. I say about 50% that I can bring another player (depends on his work schedule).

I'm am going to do that.

If you pre reg now, and CONFIRM you are coming, i will cut 3-5 dollar off your entry fee (depending on what the store is going to make us pay) I'm of course going to try and keep the price as low as possible cause it would be better to not have cost be an issue. I should be able to find word from the store in a few days...

[xsockmonkeyx]

@demon: If the date is locked in then my buddy will request it off. That means we'll definately be coming. Ill try to talk to another guy I know and see if he's interested.

How do you pre-reg?

Edit: is Oct.9 right? That's on a Tuesday.

[thefreakaccident]

I can get me and my team there, That's 4 guys right there.

I could prolly get more than that if the rides permitt... as long as you guys don't mind a bunch of San Diegans there :).

When will it be?

Is this even official yet?

[APriestOfGix]

Not offical yet, waiting for responce from store...

Looks like the first of second Sunday in October, (the 9th is NOT a Tuesday BTW... i'm not going to be a bitch and make people drive out here on a fucking weekday...)


Edit: Your right the 9th is a tuesday, i'm looking at the 7th or the 14th.

The store just said no... This means we need to find a venue, Sockmonkey i know you said something to me about a place? I'll look into a local community center, or maybe even some public place...

[thefreakaccident]

If you guys wouldn't mind driving a little further to San Diego, not only could I get a place with prizes... but I could almost guarantee a turnout of at least 40 people (If the tourney was put into the public here).

We would have all of the regulars that already attend the weekly tourney as well as a bunch of guys I know... Especially if there are prizes and you guys get here too, it would be as big or bigger than the average DLD.

Just sayin' though.

[xsockmonkeyx]

Let's make it the 14th to gives us a little more time.

Theres a place over by my house called Shuffle and Cut (i think thats their current name). Their address is 11525 La Mirada Blvd, La Mirada, CA 90638 and they have enough room for a decent size tourney. Not sure how they go about organizing their tourneys though. You can call them at (877) I PLAY GAMES (877-475-2942) and see what's up.

This is their site: http://www.shuffleandcut.com/

I'm going to also say stores are going to be closer to saying no to me since i look like i'm in High School (of course i JUST graduated so they aren't far off...)

If freak wants to orginize it, and PLEASE make it not on a saterday since i have class, i woul SO come, i can also bring a friend. I would drive down Saterday night spend the night there, come play in the morning, and then drive back that night. From LA it's what a 2-4 hour drive depending on traffic?

Is the train any faster/better?

where in SD?

I would be SO willing...

[xsockmonkeyx]

Lame.

[MoogleConspiracy]

So I guess it's up in the air for right now. Hmm, harsh. By San Diego, do you mean Game Empire? I don't really know of any place in San Diego besides that, and Artifex stopped holding them because of turn outs. If you convinced them of a date, they might be willing to hold one. I know they said they wanted a 10 proxy Vintage sometime in October, and said they might hold Legacy later (once a month type thing). Hopefully this turns out alright, was looking forward to it!

Edit: I'd say San Diego is about 2 hours south of LA, maybe less maybe more. Luckily, I'm in Irvine so this is central to all the locations you would probably choose. From Irvine it's usually, 45 min to 1 hour from SD.

[thefreakaccident]

Yes, Moogle I meant San Diego... the tourney is usually about like 25 people on average... some times we get a lot though. I will bring it up the next time I get a chance to talk to some of these guys that work there. I will get back to you guys on that soon. If there are prizes and such, I wouldn't be surprised if we got upwards of forty (I think that's how many showed up last time).

[Tusk&Temper]

I would be totally down for either of the tourneys mentioned either San Diego or Pasadena. Unfortunately I have no one else to bring with me. Keep me posted on any developments.

[APriestOfGix]

I'm going to talk with our Community Center, it might be fun to do it NOT at a card store...

[thefreakaccident]

The Sand Diego convention center would be awesome, if we could rent out a room... That's where the amature champs tourney was... I barely didn't place :(.

On a happier note, it would be a perfect location if we could get a room. I don't know if I could be the one to talk to them, but if Dragon can that would be great... OMG a large tourney that's close! I am so excited, I just can't hide it.

sorry, couldn't restraign my self.

[xsockmonkeyx]

So when is the date, demon?

[Agro Beats]

Yeah, I've been talking with Game Empire to host a big tourny in early November. GE can host a tournament with upwards of 75 people easily in their game room. What kind of prize support are we looking at? Last time they had awsome prizes, play sets of playable foil cards and better. I'm sure they won't dissappoint. Put in some suggestions and i'll pass the word.

[The Rack]

Guru lands are very nice, Duals, Fetches, FOIL Deeds?? ( for me:p), some cool DCI stuff. Last time they had a huge tourney about 2 years ago the turnout was great and awesome prizes too.

[Tog]

Yea, it sounds good. Just let me know when things are finalized with a set time and date. My friends and I will definitely show up.

~Tog

[Gambit]

If this really would get a good turnout I'm sure we drive the few hours to attend as well.

[xsockmonkeyx]

I would drive to SD if: 1)The tourney was big ~50 2) My buddy can get the day of the tourney off. 3)It started late enough in afternoon that we didnt have to come the night before or leave early in the morning.

[badjuju]

Hey,

both my friend and I are willing to drive to Comic Odyssey if you guys host a monthly tournament. Keep this thread updated with event times if possible!

Thanks,
-Chris

[APriestOfGix]

not going to happen.

CO dosn't want to bother.

looks like SD it is.

Unless some of use want to rent out some place to do it. Maybe a restruant, and use like a back room?

[thefreakaccident]

yeah... I had mentioned it to a couple people a while back, but they didn't know for sure and kinda just forgot about it over time :(... Yeah, Game Empire ran a pretty large tourney a while back and there were like 60-70 people... it was great!

[badjuju]

How often does GE do the tournament?

[The Rack]

They haven't done a huge one in about a year and a half. Hopefully there is one soon.

[Agro Beats]

It is finally done, all the details will be posted tomorrow night for the BIG tournament in San Diego - GAME EMPIRE. Confirming Prize support tonight. :smile:
