It's on the same day as Deleware too. Guess I am going to go to this. I may not like Neutral Grounds, but I think this will be a better turnout because it's going to be ran by the TJ Collectables Crew, which have really good staff. I guess I am looking foward to this, although I wanted to go to Deleware.
 
But the problem is that is at Neutral Ground. Imo, it is too small. Last year it was perfect at the New York Hotel thing place lol.
 
I was kinda hoping it would be in a place like the New Yorker Hotel like last year. What I don't like about having it at NG is there isn't any real food in the area.
 
Why 10 am? Why so early? I mean seriously, there would be a lot of 1st round losses if that were the case.

Probably because our huge attendance for this event, our 7+ rounds, and having to do a Top 16.
1st-7th round = 3 hours and 30 minutes or a bit longer
Top 16= 1 Hour
Top 8= 1 Hour
Top 4= 1 Hour
Finals/3rd & 4th= 1 Hour
It could be 7 hours+ for this event
The way Tom Shea probably figures it will get everything ran smoothly and gets everyone home at a respectively leveled time.

That start time is fine on paper and such but are you sure someone from the store will be there to open the doors at 9am? Last time this happened at a cities they didn't open up till around 10:45...

No there's not. People have woken up FAR earlier for tournaments, especially ones of SMALLER magnitude. People will be there, on time.

Whether you like it....or not!
 
Anyone who knows about this place.....

Will you please fill me in on location? parking? If you are from a distance, are you driving that a.m., going the night before and staying over? and where? How many people does this place hold? We had a CC at a place where people had to sit on the floor. What is around this location for food, etc? Any information you can share would be helpful!
