| I have 68 players today at the Carta Magica pre-release. A new participation record for me. Is it a world record for DDM's history?
I know I am incredibly busy and will loose a few pounds today! héhéhé.
I'll be posting reports, pictures and videos later.
7 rounds + finals! That's quite grueling.

| | 30 in Manchester. So at least twice as many in Montreal | |
One of these days WoTC will update their tournament page when I'm in the top 5... they never seem to do when I'm in that bracket :(

| We are down to the top 8, after 7 rounds.
There were 14 Apects pulled (Bahamut and Tiamat combined) and all who made it to the top 8 included on of those figs in their band.
I'll be posting more details over the next while. | |

| | There were 69 people at a sealed tournament I won at Gen Con last year. It might be the largest pre-release though. | |
I am not gone. | |

| Wow, 68 is a HUGE number.
we had only 15 at niles...a bummer to say the least,
but we are so close to Columbus, I know of quite a few
people who went down there instead.
Look forward to the final reports.

| You know what ? 68 players is only the number of participants at the Carta Magica Pre-Release that was held today.
Tomorrow, the Valet d'Coeur is hosting another Pre-Release in Montreal and all its places were filled in one day. I heard that there is a waiting list of at least 8 persons (in case some of the pre-inscribed ones don't show).
I believe the Valet is playing with 32 or 36 gamers... so WotDQ pre-release in Montreal will top 100+ participants! | |

All 6 Aspects in Santa Clara placed in the top 8. The highest placing non-Aspect band was 6th.
I had a lot of hope for WOTDQ 500-point sealed. I'm now of the opinion that this set fails horribly in 500-point sealed. | |
