Chicagoland City Championships MARATHON! Official information!
Chicagoland City Championships Marathon This event is open to all players. We are using the Swiss pairing format, so you can play through each round and never be eliminated until the swiss rounds are over. City Championships are a great place to test your new deck strategies and bring your play skills to the next level! The top players of the City Championship are awarded prizes for the skills needed to do well in such a large event. When preparing for a City Championship Tournament make sure you have a Deck that is ready to play in a competitive sanctioned tournament. To do this first check that your Deck complies with the current Modified Format Regulations. After checking your cards are legal for play, you will then need to fill out a DECKLIST!

Oklahoma will be there. We decided that since we went to Georgia last year, we might as well go somewhere different this year. Chicago was the choice. Very excited!

Sounds pretty cool. I should be able to make it to most of them, or possibly even all of them. From what it looks like, it's going to be fun. So many opportunities for Championship points during this time!

Unfortunately not, these events arent big enough to justify it.
We will have someone buying at states and regionals. Jimmy
