yay!!!!!

wow, that's a lot of prizes for first place. Really compensates for not being allowed into another States if you have already won one.

What time do you expect the tournament to end?

When Game Parlor kicks us out??

Seriously, this one could take a while. I've never done a full "cut to finals with an hour time limit" before.. That's why it's extremely important to start on time (I will enforce the 1st round loss to all late-comers, sorry) I expect 4-5 rounds of prelims, then the finals...

But, hey, it's a State Championship, right??
 
SWEEEETNESSS. I freaked out because my drum recital is in march as well. But I just discovered that its the week before states. so I'm definitly there.
 
can't wait.
I have people at my league who want to go but need a ride. But I want to go with my friends I normally go with *inner struggle*. Of course, most of them will be 14- so i don't have to worry about competition :tongue: .

*looks to Midlothian-ers* y'alls who copied my deck better not be playing in my age division :nonono: :cool: . As for ludicolous, I may have to deal with him personally :eek: :lol:

What deck did he copy?
 
Psy Master is gonna be doing a lot of checking who is behind him at States :wink:

Yeah, I'll be asking around my league next week to get initial numbers on if the 10- and 11-14 division is coming :tongue: . It's funny, I mention Patrick's name and this one kid at my league, who Patrick beat at the Prerelease, gets all defensive about how he lost. Knows Patrick for less than a day but Patrick's name seems to have been quite tramatic for him :lol: .
I'll also have to check on who can make it Rockville too.

My goal: to flood the tournament with my league players. That way, probability says at least a few of the people at my league should make the finals <_< . Rockville may be a little more tricky, however *sighs*
