SWM: 100pt Constructed Tournament

= SWM: 100pt Constructed Tournament
= Monday, September 28th.

Just a regular constructed tournament this week for Star Wars Minis. Decided to switch it up a bit by only allowing 100pts. Seven players showed up for it, and we went our usual 3 rounds. Dave M. had a firm first with a mandalorian squad.

MtG: Zendikar Pre-release!

= MtG: Zendikar Pre-release!
= Saturday, September 26th.

I usually work on saturdays, so I had to open the store this morning. Started registering my regulars almost immediately after opening. I did have help running the register, so I could focus on being a TO and judge. When packs were finally passed out around 1:00, I had 21 people in my tournament. Which is good because it matched last year's pre-release. However, in terms of people, we also had 16 people enrolled in a Yu-gi-oh tournament, which we had to toss upstairs - just to compare.
The Main event lasted 5 rounds. To allow for the maximum number of people to participate in a draft, I ran a swiss draft after the main event. That event had 12 people, and went 3 rounds. I went home tired and exhausted - but final standings for the main event have been posted at our butler location.

Pictures:
Above - I snapped this one round 2 or 3 of the main event. Because of the tight conditions and floor layout you can't see the other two tables.
Below - This is a photo of my 12 player swiss draft. Yeah, I did have to use tiebreaker 3 to place some players.

MtG: Friday Night Magic

Twas the night before the pre-release, and all through the store the players were clamoring for their zendi-kar. Seriously though we had 8 people show up for our regular FNM, officially named 'Lorwyn's Last Gasp. Because this was the last FNM we would legally see kithkin or combo-elves haunt our doors. We went three rounds and packed it up. Seriously I would see most of these people the next morning as soon as I opened the gate.

If you've been keeping track, we've had a few slower weeks. Well, I just made up for those with a larger tournament. 17 people to be exact. I'm not sure where they all came from, but the six that bussed themselves in from Clarion U. certainly helped. So with that number of people, we went 4 rounds. And luckly enough the rounds proceeded quickly enough that I was able to finish before the store's 9:00 closing time.
Aron S. finished in first place with combo elves. Jessie C. finished second playing grixis control, and Adam H. finished third with Kithkin.

MtG: Magic Sealed Tournament

= MtG: Magic Sealed Tournament
= Tuesday, September 15th.

Every now and then I will run a tournament on what is usually a free-play night. Such happened tonight. We had extra Shadowmoor tournament packs lying around, and with the set cycling out of type 2 soon, this was an opportunity to get rid of them. I knew that this wasn't going to be the highest attended event by far, even with M10 prize, and sure enough we only had 5 people. Not enough to be sanctioned, but enough to run the tournament anyways for fun. As one can expect the decks were .. fairly jank. We played three rounds. Kevin R. managed to take first, and Andrew G took second. I myself was honorable third.
