Lotr Tournament Amsterdam planned on 7th of february: The open Middle-Dutch

[Smeagollum]

Hi People,

I'm not often on this site but a few weeks ago I promised to try to organize a Lotr Tournament in the hart of Middle-earth: Amsterdam 

I am planning the tournament the 7th of februari at de 2 klaveren in Amsterdam. If you come by car see following link for details: http://maps.google.nl/maps?hl=nl&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=de+2+klaveren+amsterdam&fb=1&sa=X&oi=local_group&resnum=1&ct=image
If you come by train from Central station take tramnr 13, From Amstelstation take tramnr 12 and from Sloterdijk tramnr 14. Get out at stop "elizabeth wolfstraat" and walk towards the bridge. Adress: De Clercqstraat 136, 1052 NP Amsterdam? - 020 6189125?

What kind of tournament am I organizing: A special one
The tournament will have 5 rounds and will be in blockformat! So that most cards will be playable! It's a funtournament, so although rules aply we play casual (I mean f somebody forgets something we are not to difficult, we play very relaxed in Amsterdam).

first round you'll need a deck from the fotr-block
Second round you'll need a deck from the TT-block
Third round you'll need a deck from fotr- and TT-block
Fourth round you'll need a deck from the Rotk-block (minus set 9!)
Fith round you'll need a deck from the film-block (minus set 9!)


Other Details!

1. There will be an admit one fee of 5 euro. This is because we will play in a commercial cafe and last time we organized a tournament over there everybody brought his own drinks and food and the owner of the cafe was not happy about that. For this admittance-fee you will get 2 cosumptions.

2. I am still working on Prize-support.
3. Judge is Marc Hameleers
4. For a few cards I want to have special rulling: Like Galadriel Lady redeemed: She can only do it at the start of the manouver or regroupphase and she need to exert once for it. Otherwise everyone will play elven  . If other people have ideas about this I'll be glad to hear this...



Kind regards,

Jan Willem

ps: can someone help me to get this topic sticked till february?

So far no reactions?

Please let me know which date you people prefer?!

I already know what the 5th round will be: it will not be highlander, but a deck with only fotr and tt-block.

Does somebody have the erratalist for the separate blocks: For example: Ranger's versatility and Mirror of Galadriel?

TT standard sounds cool, but too many people don't give hunter block a chance...

Hunter block would be so awesome. But then again, I'm exactly the opposite side of the world from you, and thus, my opinion doesn't matter.

I know that not much people give post filmblock a chance, but that is also because most old players stopped after Mount Doom. If you want to interest them then you need to play Filmblock. Nice thins of post Filmblock is the site-mechanism. On the other hand Filmblock is more balanced.

Nice thing with this tournament is you play 5 different decks. So you need really to be skilled in playing all kind of decks and it is not so that the peolpe who play meta with one deck absolutely win.

I'm not a huge fan of block decks but I think I could make it the second week of February. My card collection is mostly standard but I'm sure I could whip some decks together by February.

[Gil-Estel]

The Jord, if you're coming I will be there for sure!! I would come already, but the chance of meeting mister Evil of England himself...wow

[TheJord]

I could bring my Expanded Deck of Death and Doom

Like I said, I dont have (m)any block decks. I will build some though, dont you worry GE.

[Smeagollum]

Now I feel a bit.. how do you say it... embarrest... I'm building 4 decks  for every block.

[TheJord]

  4 for every block! Wow!

Now I definitely am coming

Hi there!
I assure, you will have all my exertions to move as many player as possible to amsterdam!

I do NOT agree to forbid Galadriel, Lady redeemed in Block-Format!  nor any other card

I just have to clear some things in austria (need to discuss obout the journey, cost, date etc...)

It should be a relaxed  - but not a fun tournament!

kind regards
see you in amsterdam
