If you build it...prizes will come. I can hopefully get TBS to throw down a little if the group is big enough. More than 10? I've also got a few things around here I can donate. Yeah - are group is bummed about lack of events too. You still got a hook-up in Oaktown? I think we can swing by any weekend with advanced notice, but Saturdays are best for Brian and Mike. |

I am working on a set of 4 tournament in Norcal that players could play in and qualify for. (Long story, but I can get 12-20 from Sacramento and the Marysville/Yuba area.) I am off right now to get a short nap before I head out North for my wedding on Saturday. Then Monday I am off to Mexico for about 10 days. I can get back to you when I get back into town, if that's cool...and then I can run by you my ideas, and what I already have set up/prizes for. This is going to be some serious fun. Later!

I need a couple of days to get some dates firmed up. As soon as I know for sure, I will pass on what I have. I am shooting to get a first round of tournaments on the last week of July to the first two weeks of August, with a championship event sometime around the third weekend in August. Those who win any of the first three tournaments get free entry in the championship ($20.00 value) and are guaranteed a spot at the table for an 8 man draft for all the marbles. The qualifying events we are looking at a build your own deck, with the restriction of only two teams being able to be named on the cards (including dual affiliated characters,) and either a draft or a sealed event as the second tournament of the day. Entry into the event gets you into both tournaments. The winner of the qualifier would be the person with the best overall combined score from both events. I am hoping to get the qualifying events down to $15 for both tournaments, and prizes would be awarded from existing stock left over for existing hobby leagues or donations. But I am pretty sure I can swing $50 (gift cirtificate or another legal way of me handing you $50) for the winner at the Championship. The remainder of prizes at each event will be determined on entry and if we will have any cash left over after we secure sites and bribe city officals. If you can only make one, you should shoot for the Championship, as it is open to everyone, and the top 4 finishers for the last chance that day will sit down at the 8 man draft championship. At this time we are not sure what set will be used to draft with, and we may not choose to announce it to keep everyone surprised. (I will strive to get a decent set to draft, and defiinitely not Web of Spider-Man. Seriously. I promise. I consider drafting Web of Spider-Man a threat, not a reward.) I will get back to you all with specific announcemnts. Sorry if I have rambled...I just got back from Mexico and I am rather jet-lagged. But I understand the need to know so you can make arrangements to come. Mr. Bear, I will be contacting you shortly. I have three functioning brain cells at the moment, and they are begging me to go to bed. We will get some details thrown down and see what you can get done. (His special Bear magic.) E-mail me, because for some reason I can't find your e-mail address. We can even talk on the phone if that would be less painful. Take it easy, thanks for the well wishes, and I will be in touch soon. |

August 22nd (its a Saturday) will be NorCal Vs. Day and when our NorCal Championships will be held. There will be two events: constructed and sealed/draft. Constructed will be a variation of Bring Your Own Two Teams. There will be a draft for the championship for those who qualify, and a Supercross-over sealed for those who do not. (Either way, everyone gets to play two events the same day.) Local qualifiers for the event (with the chance to win a seat at the top 8 table for winning) will be held in Oroville and in Sacramento. The Sacramento Qualifier will be on August 8th. It is likely the Oroville event will be August 2nd, but that must stuill be confirmed. (You do not need to play in a qualifier to play at the NorCal Vs Day Championship...the top 4 from the constructed that day will be the final four places for the draft.) I have yet to hear from the Bear to see if he has been able to do anything about a Bay Area event...in fact, I don't even know if he read my e-mail yet. |

Just finished reading. It's a good idea and I'd like to try to help, although I'm still confused how the format you're prescribing is different from BYO2T. I'll talk to TP2B to see what I can setup. |

Traditional BYO2T requires that all cards reference one of your two team affiliations: plot twists, equipment, locations and characters. This slight change of format allows for all generic cards to be played and cards that reference only your two teams. So Enemy, Savage, The Trinity, etc can be played by anyone, though only a secret society deck could use Mixy. This change allows for a little more freedom, and assures that not everyone will be playing some form of League of Assassins deck since the loss of affiliation while attacking will mean so much less. I hope that makes sense... |

Are you trying to say basically BYO2T with generic plots/locations/equipment allowed? If it references an affiliation besides your chosen 2 you can't play it, but if it references no affiliation you can? What about unaffiliated characters? |
