I thought this had been posted already, but I can't find the thread, so I am starting it again.  Oct 5-7 is our local con called Flatcon, we will be hosting a midwest open set of tournaments.  For specific tournament info see www.flatcon.com.  We will have minis events all three days, with the big main event on Saturday.  We hope to see many members of the community able to make it to the days of events.  In response to Aespoh's wishes the Sunday sealed tournament will be a Sealed Draft tournament.  Prizes will be determined by participation, but these are all being sponsored by our local FLGS and my e-bay store Hubb's Wholesale.  As much as I would like to participate in the events, I will likely be tied up with my vendor booth, and or judging the events in some cases.  If you are planning on attending please post on one of the forums tournament thread to let us know, so we can do some planning for the events.  Any questions please direct them to this thread or e-mail me directly through the forum.

As posted on the Wizards site, I won't be able to make it on my own to this one.

If anyone's traveling through the Fort Wayne, IN area I'd be happy to provide some $$ for a ride and perhaps a place on the floor to sleep.

If this sounds like it would work with you just send me a PM. Or mail at agullotti AT gmail.com

Here's my report, mostly for the sealed on Sunday.  We had a really great time, wish there had been a few more, but there's always next year!

I managed to be 9th of 9 in the main event yesterday with my Vlaakith band, but the first two losses were reasonably close, and took 2nd in the Heroes tourney with the same band with a fodder switch (didn't have a lot of building time this week or it would have been more different).

Sunday the four of us left (Adam was running a booth) were me, Aesoph, Lalato, and True_Blue. We played a four person draft and I managed a Lady Vol / Loviatar combo that was tough to beat. Filled with Krenshar, Prisoner, and Deep Legionaire.

First match was against True-Blue and his Jarl and Wulfgar. He had me beat apart from his bad dice and my good dice. Vol was down to 25hp after a Wulfgar beating when the Jarl and Gnoll Clawfighter fail an Oppressive Will save. Next round init went to me and I killed Wulfgar with a lucky crit, Loviatar gave the Jarl some tough love with her whip. Next round I win init again and Loviatar crits the Jarl and he routs. Jarl rallies and comes back, but by that time I'm killing the Gnoll and running and then Lovi finishes off the Jarl.

Second match against Lalato playing Shadow Dragon, Warpriest of V, two gnolls, a Verdant Reaver and Drow. Sam's plaing Teleport Temple to try and work some hit and run magic with his slightly sub-par drafting pool. He plays tight, but it's just too many hitpoints with too high an AC for him to hit. Krenshar routing the Drow didn't help much either.

Last match against Aesoph's dual Dol Dorn's, Wild Mage's and City Militia. I almost made a bonehead sacrifice of Vol early when I thought I could breathe on both Wildmages and Dol Dorns, but was missing a Wild Mage and thought better of it and charged his Halfling Tombseeker instead. After some bad dice on his part, missed attacks and a failed Oppressive Will on a Dol Dorn (plus a failed morale) I finished of the Dol Dorns and then the WIldmages for the win. The dice and draft gods were pleasant to me today.

We drafted four boosters for prizes and I got a White Dragon for my rare, which is great because I didn't have one yet.

I hope everyone had a great time and we'll work on what we might do to grow it next year and make it a bit cheaper hopefully.
