i don't have time to provide links, being super-busy providing the coverage -lol-, but go to metagame's NY coverage (linked on the first page of this thread)and click on the relative links there...

WOAH!!! Check out the HUGE Alex Ross piece in the 4:50 PM entry of the Blog!

My god!

I reckon I'd be quite decent in a knife fight, having done a bunch of jiujitsu which includes lots of defences against knife attackers. That said, Gary is a big guy, so it would probably be pretty tough for me. I think I would probably throw the knife at Gary, then rush in and try to capitalise on whatever damgae I could cause.

If you guys want an up to the minute update on some of our teams standings, here it is. I just got off the phone with Jeremy. They've got 2 games left, and i'm sure you know all 7 wins get in.

Here's an up to the minute update on our guys

Tj 8-2
Colin 8-2
Jeremy 7-3

All those are locked for day 2

baroni 6-4
Cabanero 6-4
Mike French 6-4

have to go 1 and 1

Dan Blackford and Justin D both have a shot if they win their last two, they are 5-5

Tim- o.o;;;
k...

I'm personally rooting on Tim Batow to win this whole thing. Come on now...he won with Beloved, top 8ed with a new build of Rigged Elections, and is BEATING PEOPLE WITH DREAM. He DESERVES at least a top 8. :)

Oh, and go Eric Fletcher! You're the only one truly representing San Diego now. Such a shame Tym scrubbed out. =/

I'm gonna need updates here, the dial-up doesn't want to load the Metagame standings.

eek, thanks. I'd like to know about Michael Barnes and Adam Maysonet, along with the rest of the players on the front page.

Go team.

OMG.. Adam!!! I knew I forgot someone. I suck! Round 10 standings will be up shortly.

Vidi- 1st (9-1)
Barnes- 2nd (9-1)
Ryan- 7th (8-2)

Walls, Dawson, Noland, all 7-2.

I can't find Maysonet on the standings.

Damn. Looks like he dropped already :(

Anybody know what Big Spooky (Michael Barnes) is playing?

Barnes is playing the same Xavier's Dream deck that Tim Batow is - i think they came up with it together...

See what Stu's Barn Door Challenge can do for you kids? Big Spooky is a former champion.

(Some BIG names on the bubble for Day Two. This is when it gets scary.)

especially since the $10K is sealed, and therefore a bit of a crapshoot.

Just off the phone with Kim, Dalton lost his 6th game unfortunately. He's out, along with Kim, Peter and Gabe.

Jason is leading the charge at 9-2, followed by Dave and I think Steve, they're good for tomorrow. Milton and Chuck are on the bubble for game 12.

Good luck guys!

:Edit:
I just found out, some sad sad news...

Rob Leander was eliminated from getting into Day 2 in Round #11.
