+2 for each different Virtual mission completed (sets 15-31+/The Undiscovered Country through Balance of Terror and beyond -2E // Life From Lifelessness through The Maquis and beyond -1E)

Event 1 of 4:

1. Chris Volk - [Dom] 12 points + 5 bonus points=(17)
2. Matthew Hayes - Hell's Heart [NA] [OS] {Khan} 8 points + 9 bonus points=(17)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, with our playoffs for 2014-2015 underway, Chris Volk has scored first blood with a pretty darn good Dominion mission solver. Will he continue his dominance over the course of the remaining three playoff events? Time will tell. Up next, a First Edition OPEN format, Highlander event [that is, any 1E card goes, but, only in the quantity of one card/copy per title in each player's draw deck & seed deck (the only exception is cards downloaded/or from 'outside the game' i.e. a pair of Bajoran Wormholes dl'd via The First Stable Wormhole, etc.) got it?]
