Legacy tournaments starting in October, every two weeks. Saturday at 7PM. $5 entry. Store credit for top 3.

The store itself has a great selection of cards, very organized. I used to play T1 there a few years back, and the atmosphere was very friendly then.

Huh, I used to go to this place when they had tourneys on weeknights. It was a really good crowd. I went to their website though and didn't see the aformentioned saturday night tourneys. Are these actually still going on?

I think they recently stopped them, not enough turnout Bah.

If you like friendly players yet a negative attitude when things don't go the owners way enjoy..... just a warning of things to come 2/16 and you aren't players to the owner your dollar signs..

Wow, NJ has to get its act together to catch up with everyone else. Anyone from NJ, lets see if we can't make our own little legacy paradise. I have at least one store that could make some legacy tournaments happen. The two man crew Diabolic Utensils will be waiting for you!

Yeah, there are absolutely no legacy related tourneys in Jersey/NYC.

At TJ Collectables in Milford, MA, about 10-15 minutes south of the I-495/I-90 intersection, (www.tjcollect.com), they run a regular unsanctioned Legacy weekly on Saturdays at noon ($5 entry). It's unsanctioned because of... 30-minute rounds, 4 rounds every time, and time ending *at* 30 minutes. Turnout is typically 16-24 players, but upwards of 40 on busier days (like at a release). They may be shifting in the near future to a sanctioned Legacy, but that has yet to be determined. They held sanctioned summer Legacy on Wednesday nights last summer.

City: Glen Ellen
State: Illinois
Location: College of Dupage (Cafeteria)
425 Fawell Blvd
Day: Monday
Time: Start 6:30
Entry Fee: $5
Prize: 2 packs per entered, payed out to top 3 or 4 if a lot of people show.

Fyi: The tournament is run by a level 1 judge, with various judges from level 0-3 sometimes playing, so if you have any questions or problems they can be solved.
This tournament has been going on weekly for over 6 years now with various players coming and going, but the crowd that is around now is very solid.

Some of the players in the area have sportsmanship problems, but we just usually laugh at them when they throw a tantrum anyways.

Another FYI: I am trying to start up a Wed night Type 1 tournament allowing for 10 proxies with cash going in and cash going out. Once we hold our first tournament we will be deciding on cost of entry and prize split amounts. If your in the Chicago suburbs and are interested feel free to stop by our type 1.5 tournament on Monday.
