Decklists Required

Format:
Sanctioned Legacy constructed -
8 players, swiss, 4 rounds no cut
9-16 players 4 rounds cut T4
17-32 players, 5 rounds cut T8
33-55 players 6 rounds cut T8

first place, first pick, second place, second pick and so on
DCI reporter standings just prior to the cut will be used to determine 3rd/4th and 5th-8th

Parking
Parking is the main reason most of our larger events are on Sundays
Behind the store there are numberd spaces.
Knight Ware has spaces 9, 10, and 11
but
on sundays, our neighbors are usually closed

The streets are metered but not checked on sundays
The first street to the west of us is Lankersheim Blvd..
On Lakersheim 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

Duals and Goyfs always works!

Duals and Goyfs sound good, hope to be there!

I probably will not be able to make it. I have four finals on the four days following the tournament. I also have graduation ceremony/commencement the next Sunday.

I am so down if I'm not too busy at school.

do you guys want more goyfs?

---

You can never have enough goyfs. :P

I'd like to see some Underground Seas in the prize pool. Thats all I really want right now.

Top 4 is tier A/B and the rest pick from tier B?

It depends on attendance as that will determine how many prizes we give out

Example, at

46+ players, prizes are to top 10 and 2 randoms (12 prizes total) so that means that
1st-6th pick from either tier and 7th-10th, random 1, and random 2 pick from tier B

but if attendance is only 8-11, prizes are to top 4 so 1, 2 either tier and 3, 4 tier b

odd number of prizes will round up. (more people to tier a)

hope that helps some

up

Don't forget about this, it's next week!

I'm psyched for this, is a big turnout expected???

What to play, what to play?

Last time there was about 52 people

Wow, sick prize support again. Didn't see the update until now, but I think it's even better than last time, so I expect this to fill up.

Tomorrow

Who's going to take those goyfs...?

Initially Supachai and I were going to drive up with Matt. It doesn't look like thats going to happen now, unfortunately. Is anyone else going up?

Nemonic and I are heading up, but I've only got one free spot left in my car.

Actually, I think we got our ride back, so me, Vacrix and Forbiddian will be heading up together.

Hey, I've been talking to Matt about joining you guys in the car. I'm at Caltech; can this be arranged for? I could chip in for gas.

Also, does anybody planning on attending have the following:

2 Spell pierce
2 Vexing Sphinx
2 Stoneforge mystic
1 Enlightened Tutor
2 Ethersworn Canonist
4 curfew?

Thanks.

Where is Caltech exactly? I can talk to Supachai about picking you up. Looks like Matt bailed and changed his plans when I told him initially that we couldn't go.

I have the following from that list:
2 Spell Pierce
1 Enlightened Tutor

Depending on what Supachai plays.. he has 4 Cannonist, 2 SFM.

I might have a Sphinx.

Vibram Five Fingers / Judge report.

Feet felt pretty good at the end of the day, but I was doing a lot more sitting than I have in the past. I would wear them again, but I am not sure if I would recomend them for someone who was standing more than I was. It was a bit difficult to walk up the ramp at the end of the day.

Lori got everything started on time, about 2:07 was when the pairings were printed. I left at 10:30. Gave out zero game losses but quite a few warnings.

Yee SD Legacy represents! I went 2-4 for the record. Terrible luck playing SI. I was 1 mana short of the win every other game. :/

Oh nice I didnt know the other sd guys wish they woulda told me lol i was wearing a chargers jacket :) but good stuff. besides that SI newb (j/k) :P

HAHAHA. I can't really defend myself from being called a newb.... :[ 2-4? Pssh hardly a good performance. Back to the drawing board. I took 7th the time the last time I went to Knightware. Then again I was actually playing magic. Just recently starting playing again with that tournament.

When are we having another local even at Game Empire/Artifax?

I dunno but i'm leaning towards saturdays now maybe saturday at 12 pm artifex ??? not this week but in general i noticed u have an AIM , i added you but never see you on. hit me up "n3m0n1c"
