You better believe that the Americans (well, one at least  ;) ) are coming!  I've already invaded the shores of Britain.   :twisted:

SM, do me a favor, win the tournament and score one for the Yanks, I'd do it myself but I'm a little short on cash.

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall play on the beaches, we shall play on the landing grounds, we shall play in the fields and in the streets, we shall play in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Ok, I say that this tournament should go ahead on the 17th of August in Manchester.

I need to check with Fanboy3 to see if they are able/willing to host us. I'm guessing that we'll be maximum 8 players so shouldn't take up that much room.

As to time of day, I would suggest something like 12pm for a 1pm start. That should give people a chance to get there but still give time for playing several rounds and perhaps some friendly games, as well as a chance to draft Magic in the evening (starts at 7pm for those who have the time/money). Let me know if anyone would prefer a later or earlier start, as I'm not sure how far everyone is traveling.

Then we need to decide the format for the tournament. I would suggest using some sort of new standard, where you can use cards from 3 sequential blocks. X-list and R-list from Expanded, sites from Shadows onwards. Again, I'm open to playing straight Standard or Expanded if people prefer. Let me know your thoughts.

I seem to have somewhat taken over the organising of this event, but as I live in Manchester and very much want this to go ahead perhaps I'm justified. Apologies if I've stepped on someone else's toes here (lemon's mainly).

Right then, I have spoken to Fanboy3, and Dave (the owner) sounded really excited about hosting us on the 17th. He's going to advertise it in his monthly e-mail, and says he will try to sort out prize support! All very exciting news I'm sure you will agree.

So now we need to agree time and format.

Again, I suggest 12pm for 1pm start, and 3 sequential blocks with standard sites.

Let's here some opinions from those who are supposed to be coming.

Another random thought - would anyone be interested in drafting LotR?

I might be able to get hold of either some draft packs/anthologies/ages end that could make for fun times.

No worries. It would be great if you could come but I understand if money doesn't allow.

Anyone else?

Ok, at the moment the only people confirmed as coming are me, Thranduil and Lemon.

Shieldmaiden and Turin are out. TheJord is unsure.

Do we press ahead with only 4 players? Is there anyone else who might be coming?
