Seats 60 people comfortably with extra space for drafts
Prizes:
1st place will be guaranteed an Italian NM The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale regardless of attendance!
We are going to be trying out a new prize payout for this tournament BASED ON ATTENDANCE. Each additional person that shows up increases the top 8 payout. This way the players don’t lose out if the tournament never hits that 40th or 50th person it needs to increase prize support.
Below is an example prize payout @30 players:
1st Place - Italian NM The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
2nd Place - $80 table credit
3rd/4th Place - $40 table credit
5th-8th Place - $25 table credit
Random Door Prize – Something sweet around $20 value
Highest Finish Without Proxies – Something sweet around $20 value
@40 players it would look like this
1st Place - Italian NM The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale + $30 table credit
2nd Place - $120 table credit
3rd/4th Place - $60 table credit
5th-8th Place - $35 table credit
Random Door Prize – Something sweet around $30 value
Highest Finish Without Proxies – Something sweet around $30 value
If the tournament reaches 60 players, 1st place will be changed to a NM Unlimited Mox Sapphire! Prizes will also be extended down to 9th-16th!
I will have all revised dual lands, force of wills, all fetchlands, mox diamonds, lion’s eye diamonds, tarmogoyfs, legacy staple commons/uncommons and much more for you to use your table credit on. This way you can get exactly what you want, instead of some cards you don’t need.
Proxy Rules:
Paper inserts over cards and anything pasted onto cards will not be allowed. As a general rule of thumb, try to avoid using painted cards. All proxies should be written on top of regular magic cards, and thus have a regular magic card backing, unless otherwise allowed by the head judge. The head judge will have final say in all proxy rulings. Please try to include all pertinent information when making proxies (card name, casting cost, P/T, card type, simplified card text). As a suggestion, basic lands tend to be easiest to use.
Extra Stuff:
There will be side events running after round 2. At the moment we are planning for:
$15 8-man drafts (many different draft sets available)
$15 8-man legacy for a box
$15 8-man standard for a box
Upon request, it may also be possible to run 4-man EDH with prizes TBD.
Parking in the immediate vicinity of the store is metered so be prepared with change if you’re running late. There are areas that it is free to park about 2 blocks from the store, so I suggest heading out a little early to save some money.
There are plenty of places to eat at within 1 block of the store, including a mcdonalds, supermarket, pizza, greek food, qdoba, chinese, etc.

Hey everybody! A reminder that this event is just over 2 weeks away. 10 Proxy legacy tournaments are pretty rare, so you guys with mostly completed decks should be sure to come on down to Philly. No borrowing cards from friends this time!
This seems pretty awesome, unfortunately I'm going to be out of town. Hopefully I can be there for the next one.

I have every intention of attending this event, it should make a good warmup for scg philly.
declaring war on magic ignorance since 2009.
for the record i have no good ideas. im just pointing out yours are terrible too.
Just 1 week away!
And thanks guys. Redcap's is a really great store so I'm going to do my best to make sure this tournament lives up to that reputation. I hope that everyone will leave feedback about the tournament afterwards so that we can improve for future tournaments.
Bump, I'm excited for this!
Bump for today.
15 people, 4 rounds top 4. I went 3-1 and ended 5th.
It was a fine event, but I think when it's a tournament with an entry fee as substantial as $25 you should either make it 5 rounds top 4 or 4 rounds top 8 so that people don't get fucked for losing one round. I'll come again to your next one because I did have a good time, but I would like to see a better structure even if so few people did show.

Hey guys, I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the round count, but why didn't you speak up when I asked if 4 rounds was ok with everyone? I myself have been victim of missing out on prize due to poor breakers at a solid record in smaller tournaments, so I know how it feels. And after witnessing a bit of a fiasco in north jersey with a different TO, I wanted to make sure that you guys were satisfied with the round count so I wish you had let me know then. It was probably still possible to change it after round 1. But thanks for the positive support. I'm still not sure if I personally will be running another tournament at Redcap's, but I hope to see you guys there again!
Yeah, I know I should have spoken up at the beginning. I guess I just didn't want to sound bitchy since you did get kinda screwed by the low turn out. I mean, it's all okay, I'm really not that upset, and like I said, I had a good time and will be coming to the next one. You're a fine TO and the store is pretty nice and it's not that long a drive for me. All these add up to mean I'll be back, I assure you.
