Interesting prize structure. States had trophies for 1-4 and Origins badges for 2nd, while this has only trophies for 1-3 and no 2nd place Origins badge. Are you sure that's the right prize structure?
 
Jeff is rockin' and a rollin'! Let Vince and Cookie battle about when their announcement will come and Da Fer just plunks his info right down in January still!! YOU DA MAN FER!

One word....scholarships! That is the difference vs. States prizes.

I noticed the scholarships. The Origins thing just felt a little, idk, wierd to me, even with the addition of scholarships...
 
Killer! New locations are always nice! Hopefully there is as much, if not more, room than last time. Can't wait!
 
Someone beat Vince and Mike cook in posting regionals info! Interesting how the 1st place's scholarship is drastically reduced from last years.

Drastically reduced??? It is only a change of $500 for first BUT you now have a chance to win multiplte. Just goes to show PUI can't please everyone...:rolleyes:
 
Sorry, Team Rocket; Team Dragon is moving forward beyond the speed of light jubilantly excited about this grand event. Teams Leafia and Glacia are sharing some ideas with me what dekcs to bring for some friends. It will be a great time for playing and meeting up with many friends. See you in April!
 
Good News & Bad news. Had to change location due to problems with the original location posted (Burlington, NC). See modified main post with the new date and location (same as last years). Good news is I was able to coordinate this with other Regionals. Plus note location change for the Annual Friday tournament. This will resolve the issue we have had in the past with time issues (no getting booted out...LOL). This is a really cool location with lots of cool stuff for sale!!!
 
Team R will be going!
