Gauging interest for large legacy tournys in MA

[JKubilis]

Hey guys,
I'd like to try to get a store with ample space to run some Legacy 1ks in MA. Before I approach some owners I want to find out if anyone would actually be interested in these and I figured this was the best place to look for that interest. I would love to have something like this going on once a month or even every other.

So, If there were a Legacy 1k in MA on some random Saturday with a $25-$30 entry fee, would you show up and how many people do you think would be coming with you?

Thanks in advance.

I know that 6 teammates that would love to see this happen.

[Maagler]

Myself and two others would be very interested

[OurSerratedDust]

My buddies and I would certainly be interested as well.

[Ebinsugewa]

Yup.

Good amount of responses so far... If anyone knows of a similar forum I could start another of these threads for please pm me with the link. Just out of curiosity, who here plays at TE?

[rockout]

You want to elaborate on TE?

[scrumdogg]

TE = That's Entertainment here in Worcester, which has weekly Legacy Sundays starting at noon (with really good store credit as prizes - really good because it is a generous amount & they have a very good selection of singles, packs, etc). Both my son & I play at TE fairly regularly (this is Allan) and are grateful for good local Legacy. Monthly 1K Legacy would be of interest, but not necessarily do-able every month (assuming Saturdays - other commitments & interests).

I play at That's E regularly (Jack "monoblack" Smith), and would love to see a Legacy 1K, though going routinely would be difficult. I imagine my three regularly attending friends would also be interested.

I would come and bring atleast one other... I am not able to go to Jupiter Games tournaments because of the distance, but mass tournaments would be fine (especially after I go to college).

Time Police would show up

Very true and thanks for the info on TE. I only work every other Sunday

[rockout]

Justin, let know which day you will go I might try to check out TE on some random sunday.

[say no to scurvy]

im tempted to go this sunday, anyone else from boston going who has/needs a ride?

[Tanarin]

I know I would love to go to some Legacy tourneys at some point. Worcester though, that's a toughie on me without any transit ATM. But yeah sign me up as interested in some.

My friends and I are always on the lookout for Legacy tournaments. We're in Connecticut, but travel almost every weekend to Vestal, Philly, Boston, Providence, NJ, etc. Although I don't always have the same people with me, I always manage to fill my car, so should be able to bring 4 people to an event, assuming there isn't a larger event on the same day within a 300-mile radius. heh

Good amount of interest so far. I would love to get a monthly or bimonthly event going. The first store I have in mind is TJ Collectibles in Milford MA. They can easily hold 150 people. They had a poor turnout last year for their dual land tournament, I think it was just under 40 people. So I really need a lot of replies here to have a shot at convincing them. The real challenge will be getting them to try Legacy again. If we manage to get one off the ground and over 40 people show up they would certainly have no problem continuing to run them.

[say no to scurvy]

DHG in Rhode Island has been having dual land tournaments almost every 1-2 months for the past year, and as far as I know, they never broke 40 players. Good luck with that.

Definitely interested but more likely to attend if it was further west (coming from Albany, NY area). The one Hadley tounament I went to was a decent drive and fairly well attended.

[JKubilis]

If we were to get these going at TJs it would be approximately 50 minutes longer for those of you coming from the West. I bet if we could get a couple of these with good attendance we may be able to convince Tom to run a tournament series. He ran a few of these a couple years back for standard. The legacy scene is growing though and I'd like to keep it that way.
