My mother and I plan on coming from on down. It's not an 18+ event though, is it?

Nope, will you both be playing?

Yes.

why?  You're mom not 18?  You might be better suited for a tourney in Kentucky...

Thanks Honkeyfresh. You apparently know exactly what to say to make me cringe. 'You're mom?' Are you sure you're not from Kentucky...?

Knock it off.

Good news and bad news:

The good news is that things are shaping up nicely and we're going to have a healthy turnout for this bad boy.

The bad news is related to this:

OK, I suppose I'll tease this here, though let me be clear: all of the details of this haven't been worked out and it may not happen for this tournament, but it's at least in the works.

For the elimination part of the tournament, I plan to have a "feature match" which will be live-streamed with commentary. The store has a setup where they will live-stream games from their MtG tournaments and I should be able to use this for Dominion. I will post more details when/if I have them.

It's looking like this won't be happening for this tournament. I've talked to the guy who runs this, made it clear that I'm willing to pay his fee for this, and let him know the details and my contact information. He hasn't gotten back to me after I checked up a couple of times. So there's still a chance that this could happen if he randomly shows up and just hasn't bothered to contact me, but this is looking like a no.

These people love their Magic so much, but they don't realize how awesome Dominion is. We'll get 'em someday, guys.

Once again, thanks a ton for hosting! I had an awedome time, and it was really nice to meet you and aHoppy. I hope that you get positive feedback from other people, maybe this can become 'a thing!'

Aw man, now you've got an edge on me in forum survivor...

I wanted to come to this but had a really important interview in Kansas city this weekend. I got the job though, so I'm going to say I made the right call this time.

I'll write more when I get the chance, but here's this:

Last tournament: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ne0pRIWU5myZ3IBtS_fQvw5SbmFEdUlA_gJURbks0K8/edit#gid=0
Saturday: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-tcxFpCCfu1nDHus33VbyUZK2mU4cTooU_bL1V4HUco/edit?usp=sharing

That's the Google Doc where I had all of the kingdoms used for this. I used 1-7 for the Swiss rounds, 8 as a tiebreaker kingdom, and then all four of the Elimination round kingdoms were used.

The winner was Jake, a local who is part of the Cincinnati boardgaming group I admin. When I hosted the first tournament, he was just learning the game, so it's fair to say he came a long way since then.

Thanks for hosting this Adam!  It was really a great time, you really made the drive worth it.  It was tons of fun, even if I lost due to a stupid mistake... Next time!  You may have convinced me to come out to U-Con, so maybe I'll see you then.
