I had a great time at the event. It was fantastic to see everyone and in some cases, meet for the first time despite working with each other for years. Lots of players old and new, both in terms of playtime and biological age. The Atlanta group was well represented and there were people from coast to coast.

I brought a recorder with me to keep an 'oral history' of the proceedings. I wasn't able to do so for every single event, but I have recordings for with of my opponents for day 1. This won't capture the entire feel of it, but if you want to take a listen, feel free to sit back and relax.

Nic Brautigam
Laney Farmer
Keith Gibson
Dustin Cox
Michael Parrish (note, this one is very brief. It was after the dinner break, with Day two fast approaching and he stayed later just to do the interview!)
Neil Timmons

A huge thanks to all six for sitting (or standing) with me and recording these.

Also, huge thanks to Michael Shea. He ran a great event with a whole lot of people and there were no problems. I can't speak for everyone, but I can definitely say that were it not for a very well worded PM, I would probably have not made the flight.

In case you didn't know, Greg, Jon Carter did your Relativity proud by winning Day 1 with them!

I also heard Robin Honeycutt went 2-1 in a 2e side gig with a borrowed Relativity deck.

Very interesting question.

Greg's link is to this player:
https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... rID=100239

This link is to the Continentals player:
https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... yerID=2068

Are these the same person? If so, we have all kinds of errors that need to be corrected. The profiles have to be merged, the results have to be rerun, and the ratings would then need to be recalculated. This will undoubtedly change your Ratings Predictor game. Can someone with knowledge please respond, a.s.a.p.?

Matt is a good friend and has played in the last two regionals in Atlanta as well as running our tourneys in Birmingham. No inflating numbers needed at this Continental Championship!! 26 really nice people all coming together to have fun and play in a most excellent event! Mike Shea put on a great tournament and we could have easily had another 8 players attend if not for work and family commitments conflicting with the dates. Still hoping to meet more players as I play in more tourneys in more locations moving forward. Make plans to join us the next time Mike Shea opens the Atlanta doors! :cheersL:

Good news is that even if those are indeed the same player, the older profile ended with a rating of 1510, while the new one started with 1500, so the overall impact will be pretty minimal.

I forgot to write it on my scorecard so Shea didn't count it

Yes, that was my old account. I lost access to it a long time ago and created this new one I think. My bad if I caused additional problems. It was not my intent! Hopefully this can be fixed easily! :cross:

Here is the account that Matt used when he played in Continentals.
Mael / IT just need to merge both profiles, since players are not allowed duplicate accounts. Then it won't matter. I assume our resident IT wizards can do this in pretty short order. :wink:
