ALOHA MTG PLAYERS!

I AM VERY SORRY FOR THE VERY SHORT EVENT NOTICE FOR THIS PPTQ.  I HAD TROUBLE LINING UP A LEVEL 2 JUDGE.  I DID NOT DO MY HOMEWORK TO LINE UP A JUDGE EARLY ENOUGH AND BOTH DANIEL CLARKE AND STEPHEN CLAUSSEN ALREADY HAVE PRIOR COMMITMENTS FOR THIS WEEKEND.  I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO CANCEL THIS PPTQ.  IT IS THE QUALIFIER FOR THE UPCOMING SET “BATTLE OF ZENDIKAR”.  ZENDIKAR WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SETS AND LOOKS TO BE VERY FUN.  DUE TO THE UNAVAILABILITY OF A LEVEL 2 FOR THIS WEEKEND, I GOT SPECIAL PERMISSION TO USE A LEVEL ONE.  DURDLE ZONE’S OWNER, JEFF LEE WILL BE OUR JUDGE FOR THE DAY.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PRIZING WILL BE LIKE, BUT AM PLANNING TO ANTE 4 PACKS
PER PLAYER WITH A BOX MINIMUM ANTED.  I DO HAVE TO COMPENSATE OUR JUDGE FOR HIS TIME & IT WOULD BE NICE NOT TO HAVE TO PAY TO BE HERE.  I AM VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE EVENT WILL GET THE MINIMUM 8 WE NEED TO SANCTIONED.  THE MORE PLAYERS WE GET THE BETTER PRIZES WILL GET.

WHEN THERE ARE EVENTS CONFLICTS, IT IS ALWAYS THE EASIEST TO JUST CANCEL THESE EVENTS AS THEY ARE NOT PROFITABLE.  HOWEVER, I HAVE HEARD FROM VETERAN PLAYERS AND FRIENDS THAT SAID THEY WOULD PLAY IN A SUNDAY EVENT IF WE HELD IT.  AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS BECAUSE OF THOSE DEDICATED PLAYERS THAT WE MUST TRY TO HOLD THESE EVENTS TO MAKE OUR MTG COMMUNITY BETTER.  OUR EVENT HAS A LITTLE LATER START TIME (NOON) TO ASSIST A REGULAR WHO IS IN A WEDDING PARTY SATURDAY NIGHT.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THE CONTINUED MTG TOURNAMENT
SUPPORT!  TAKE CARE AND I HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU HERE THIS SUNDAY!!!

WITH SINCERE APPRECIATION,

Paula
