Chicagoland will yet again host the Deep Space Nine Regional Championships. While I'm bummed that our usual locale, CoDCON, has been canceled, this gives me the opportunity to host a Regional Championship extravaganza on Saturday, May 16th. I will be running all three Regionals in a row in the Basement of Doom that day.

Second Edition starts at 10:00 am

Tribbles will follow directly after 2E

First Edition will start around 4:00 pm, with a meal break somewhere between rounds.

This extravaganza coincides with my 40th birthday weekend, so I'm making a gaming day of it. Everyone is welcome to bring their significant others and spawn. There will be snacks and probably BBQ for dinner. The weather will hopefully be nice, so the kids can play out on the swing set.

Due to the extension of Illinois' stay-at-home order to May 30th, this tournament has been postponed. I will post a new date when we know when and how the state will loosen restrictions on gathering and movement.

If you need me for sanctioning, have Brian send me whatever my card pool is and we can play on Lackey. :cheersL:

Thanks for bumping this, Kris.

Yes, we are playing this weekend. It's not exactly the spouses and spawn party I was hoping for, but I want to see my friends and play with physical cards this weekend. So, if you happen to be in the Chicagoland area this weekend, stop in.

2E is standard constructed starting at 11:00 am

Tribbles will follow

Insert BBQ here

1E Warp Speed with a Premiere/SDII pool is last. I may be able to print and cut a couple of Enhanced Premiere sets to complement the pools. JeBuS and I decided that Armus' EPP Warp Speed tourney was so fun, we'd try to replicate it.

I'm your huckleberry. If you need me as a 3rd or 4th, I can spare a couple hours for Warp Speed on Saturday (assuming doing a Lackey card pool is not too difficult.)

A hybrid tournament, eh? Might be easier to just send you a pool ahead of time.

I don't think this is going to happen at all this weekend. We've had a bunch of folks have things come up at the last minute. I'm currently working on rescheduling.

Silver lining: this will give me time to work on assembling all the promo foils that are currently sitting on my bar.

We are rescheduled for Monday, September 7th. Yes, that's Labor Day this year! We will be playing on the following schedule:

11:00 am - Second Edition constructed, complete, standard
3:00 pm - Tribbles constructed, complete, standard will follow 2E
Whenever - First Edition Warp Speed sealed sometime after that. Dinner will probably happen somewhere in here, too.

Depending on how people feel, and the weather, I was considering putting card tables in the garage and doing this al fresco. Otherwise, I'll probably put everything upstairs and have all the windows open.

Strong interest, as we might finally be able to head down to Chicago to see Lil's folks soon. COVID travel pending, obv. I will keep you posted, Mags.

We've got six people preregistered for the 2E extravaganza, with a couple more indicating they may be in attendance. This is gonna be HUGE! But also socially distant.

Little Bit says she wants to play Tribbles. Will a 5-year-old school the rest of us?

How many die-hard 2E folks can I get to play the 1E Warp Speed event? Brian S is bringing the sealed product - SDII + 3x Premiere boosters + Warp Pack + 1 randomly selected Second Anthology personnel. I made up some Enhanced Premiere packs, though I think I may need to print more than the original six now.
