It's time for another one of these Cincinnati Dominion tournaments. This one will be mostly 2-player games (which means no official RGG-sanction, no promo cards, no GenCon qualifier, but hey 2P games!) and I've doubled the potential prize pool for this one! This means that the entry fee will be $10 instead of $5.

The other big change is that even though I'll be doing most of the promotion and organizing for this tournament, I'm actually going to be able to compete in this one! Do you think you can take me on? (you can) Come out and see if you can be one of the proud few who crushes me!

So this means that most of the day-of organizing/formatting stuff has been automated. My friend will take care of moderating the tournament and answering rules questions, as well as preparing all of the kingdoms so that I have no extra knowledge of what to expect and have no unfair advantage. You'll get all of the benefits of my experience in organizing these things, but you'll have your chance to take me down. Man, I feel like Robert Irvine. If this goes well, I may participate in 2P tournaments in the future. I don't plan on playing in any of the RGG-sanctioned tournaments, though.

Anyways, the location and time for this is pretty much the same as all of my other tournaments. Game Swap in Mason : 1065 Reading Rd. / Mason, OH 45040. There will be the usual weekly game night for the group I moderate as well, people will start showing up between 3-5PM, right about when the first round of eliminations are made, so you'll have the chance to play all kinds of other board games (or maybe some more Dominion) with lots of cool people after you're done with the tournament.

The entry fee will be $10. For each entry into the tournament, $8 will be put into the prize pool. All prizes will be given in store credit. The top three or four players will be given portions of the prize pool (depending on how many people enter the tournament). I have a reference document that gives the format of the tournament here; I reserve the right to make changes to it up until the tournament starts, but don't expect to see any significant changes.

I'll be following this thread, if you have any questions or if you want to let me know that you're coming, just reply here, PM me, or send me an E-mail at adam@adamhorton.com and I'll get back to you. You don't have to let me know in advance that you plan to be there, but it helps me out a lot for preparing for the tournament.

I hope to see you all there.

Let's kick this thread off!
My mom claims that 'no commitments have been made,' but it doesn't take much to convince her to drive down: Skyline Chili, a nice hotel room, pleasant company, the works!

So I'll /in for two spots please.

I think it was 8 hours, 58 minutes or so when I drove it in January. You'll find the drive out fine, its the drive back that'll get you...

I'm gonna try to make it back, but this depends on a lot of other things that I have going on in my life in the April/May zone.

Looking forward to the event nonetheless!  :D

So if anyone will be in town the morning before the tournament and wants to do some pregaming (not drinking, but playing games), let me know. There is already a little bit of interest and I want to know how many people could show up while looking for a place to meet. The game store doesn't open until noon.

I really want to go to this but would have to leave by 3.  Maybe I'll be eliminated in the first round anyway so it won't be a problem.  But does anyone know if this would pose a problem otherwise?

You can show up late or leave early and it doesn't mess with the tournament structure. You're guaranteed at least four games and that usually goes until 5PM, but you don't have to stay for all of them.

It's up to you, it would be nice to see you there!

Awesome, things are starting to come together for this thing. All of the setup that's left is officially out of my hands, but I'm still going to help put together a list of people we expect to be there. I've heard recently from everyone who was a maybe except for SirSlugma and J Reggie. I may pester the two of you in a week or so to see where you're at.

I'm starting to get excited for this tournament ;D

I've been making the transition from worrying about all of the things that can go wrong, to getting all of the work done that I need to do in time for Shaila (the mod) to have everything she needs, to worrying about all of the things that can go wrong there, to finally getting to focus only on promotion and getting excited for the thing.

So yeah I'm a little behind you but I'll get there :P I can't wait to see who wipes the floor with me in this tournament.

Not to worry you, but get Johnny Manziel. Or at least AJ McCarron.

Sorry guys  :'( :'( :'(

My plan A ride bailed on me, then so did my plan B.

Seeing that I'm not old enough to legally hitchhike, I'm afraid I'm out.

Unfortunately, there's no feasible way for me to get there and back in time for my concert, so I won't make it. I'm sure I'll get to come to one of these someday.

Any word on where/when this will be?
