Two days before Australian Championships are due to start. I will do my best to post regular updates but internet activity near the venue has historically been poor for me.

Before they begin - here are my predictions for the major events:

1E Australian Champion - Matt Ting (wedge772)
1E Australian Runner-up - Greg Dillon (Latok)

2E Australian Champion - Jay Coad (jayzilla)
2E Australian Runner-up - Shane Brierley (shanebrier)

Tribbles Australian Champion - Mike Nugent (IronMike)
Tribbles Australian Runner-up - Kieren Otton (Honest)


If anyone feels inclined, make your own predictions and post them here (same format as above) over the next 48 hours. I'll organise a prize for the highest scoring entry. In the event of a tie the first person to post will earn the prize.

Points will be awarded as follows to determine a winner:
* 5 points - Correctly picks the Champion
* 3 points - Correctly picks the Runner-up
* 1 point - Picks the right person but in the wrong order

Points will be awarded separately for each format (eg. Picking someone for 1E who does well in 2E will earn you no points).

You can pick the same person more than once (for each format), but only once for each format.

Post question if this is unclear and I will amend as necessary. Have fun!

You will pay for this insult! First I will destroy your champion then I shall come for you!!!!

In all honesty though, my continentals performance is always a bit shaky. Predicitons:

1E: Matt Ting
1E Runner up: Mike Nugent

2E: Shane Brierley (yay optimism)
2E runner up: Matthyas (Stoovie) - Is he playing? he better be playing!

Tribbles: Kieran Otton
Tribbles runner up: Ben dillon (my random QLDer pick)

C'Mon Greg! If you're going to pick yourself, have the balls to go for the trifecta! Or does the randomness of tribbles scare you? :P

This competition is open to everyone. I will organise international postage for the eventual prize - probably a mix of CC era foils from each of the editions.

If you are unsure who plays - check out the player ratings and filter by Australia. Most of our players have their details entered in the system.

I do have the confidence I could win but I won't be able to, last time I won 1E and got into day 2 of 2E I played in 0 tribbles qualifiers because of overlap, so couldn't win it.

Day 1 of the AC is done and dusted and we had 14 turn out for sealed day.

1E was warp speed using Enhanced Premiere starters. 8 players played and it was Matt Ting (wedge772) who won going undefeated after 4 rounds.

2E sealed used premiere starters and boosters plus several random boosters made up of a mix of cards from all sets. 6 players competed over 3 rounds and Kieren Otton (honest) and Peter Hill (leonardmccoy) both went undefeated.

We finished the day with 3 pods of Tribbles qualifiers and 13 players. Matt Ting (wedge772), Kieren Otton (honest) and Clayton Walton (mogh son of worf) were the winners and qualified for sundays finals. Clayton Walton won his pod with a mammoth 2049823 tribbles.

Tomorrow is 1E continentals, 2E demo day and casual tournament, plus the second heat of tribbles qualifiers.

if you want to enter the prediction competition you have about 14 hours left to make your predictions.
