One week left guys. It really time to get them decks ready. Get creative guys. I'm hoping to see a wide variety of competitive decks. Blink is not going to be banned for the tournament, however I hoping people take more of an initiative in their deck building.

Spud has delivered the final product for the playmat. It has been sent to Nested Egg Gaming Supplies for printing and I should have them by mid next week.

If you are planning on coming, now is the time to sign up. I'm thinking I may need to order a couple more boxes for sealed but it will depend on how many are coming.

Accomodations can be gotten for $40-$70 + tax per night. At Econolodge, America's Best Stay, or La Quinta. Please let me know what you would prefer and I'll try to get everyone at the same place. I will checking out the hotels this weekend and will be posting here so please check back with here to find out the details.

Also, anyone willing to be judge for the event? (Babyarm, I'm looking at you.)

damnit, this is the kind of tournament we should all be having!
Wish i could make it, but i live about a 7 hour plane ride away :(

(1ocharrrrrrr)

CICI's, too bad I live too far away. Playing Vs while at a CiCi's would be like...what's the word I am looking for, oh right, Heaven.

Chawie: Since PMs are out, can you send me an e-mail? captainspud at gmail dot com.

Spud, E-mail sent. FYI, I sent you an e-mail Friday from my other work. I wonder if it hit your spam folder as it would have been from State Farm.

OK, I've started discussing getting all of the product needed for this. Right now I'm planning on around 16 for Friday night. I'll try to have an extra box of Evolutions around just in case. I'm also trying to get 1 1/2 box of MEV, MUN, MTU, MMK, MOR for Saturday's sealed event. That's enough for 36 guys. Any thoughts on that. With who I have signed up right now that should be enough.

Just keeping this in view.

Update. . . . . .

Where is Lewisville relative to say Dallas?

Here's the map for travel from the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport to the venue:

I always knew I liked Bacon for a reason.

Unlikely for me but knowing its so close to one of our offices provides at least the light of hope, though I don't hope they send me to that office, I do hope that if they do, its that weekend.

unclechawie - drop me an email at [email protected] I have some things I would like to donate to this tournament.

Sheye, Email sent. Thanks for the support.

@ Canadian Bacon, Thanks for assisting with the directions. Have you decided if your coming? Later.

Updated prizes lists and info regarding Playmats.
