We're less than 24 hours from kickoff and we're up to 17 players pre-registered! That's AWESOME!!

As promised, I'll be dipping into my stack o' stuff and will be sending out some random prizes as a thank you for everyone's engagement!

...But 17 is an ugly number. 18 is better. 20 is even better than that! I know there's a few folks still out there who can get in on this thing. Let's kick this new year off right!!

With 16 there will be 4 rounds. Please try to have your first round game done by Sunday night, January 15th. If everyone finishes early, I'll start the next round early.

One more time, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to EVERYBODY who signed up and showed up to play in this event. 16 is a GREAT start to the New Year and the New Tournament series, and I'm super excited to see what sorts of crazy decks y'all can come up with for this format!

Good luck to everyone in the first round, and most importantly, have fun!! :cheersL:

Unfortunately, Austin had to drop so I jumped off the bench and played Maggie.

I managed the Full Win, 100-0, though that score does no justice to how close this game really was.

One thing this game was though, was a ton of fun! All sorts of shenanigans were afoot!

Thanks for the game, Maggie. Good luck the rest of the way!! :cheersL:

Looks like we're still waiting on 2 results.

If we weren't already at the max for a 4 round event I might go ahead and make Round 2 pairings based on what's already in, but with 16 I can't risk the RNG "missing" on a pending result as that would potentially cause a situation where we'd have 2 undefeated players that haven't played each other at the end of 4 rounds.

So I'm going to hold off as long as I can, but I have to ask: @geraldkw @viper2525 @sexecutioner @Gul Dakar ... where we at? Have you guys had a chance to get your games scheduled yet? Would a 24 hour extension help you get it done?
