Hey Yo-

Are the cutoffs for Day One of the respective games locked in or are they open for change? If they are open, how soon will we know? I ask because 1e has about a dozen players registered and a cut down to top eight for Day Two, which seems... pointless. If the cutoff were to, say four or six, it might be meaningful (apart from a sudden surge in registration.) As is, I'm almost tempted to play an achievement deck on Day One since it seems like a dress rehearsal for the 'real tournament' and that's something that shouldn't ever factor into the equation at the game's highest level. :twocents:

2E is probably safely locked at top 8.

1E probably should be lowered, but as I'm playing in the event, it's not my call to make. I'll discuss with Ken and see what he thinks.

I'm told now there are a couple others coming, which means we're probably safe with top 8, though Ken will make the final call at the event.

Incidentally, it helps us plan better when we know who's coming. #themoreyouknow
