Tournament

Ok, for all of you faithful readers out there who are not SW haters and can appreciate the fun of the game and not become a SWPM antagonist, here is some info for you concerning the tournament.

Date: 9/6/2008 (Saturday)
Location: Steve Kimmels pole barn (yes i know its a pole barn, but its the biggest place i could find to house rowdy kids and make a mess that will easily be cleaned up)
Time: After Men's Prayer mtg, which is usually around 9 or 9:30AM
Duration: 2-4 hours. Depending on how many players there are it will be mostly 3-4 hours. Estimated end time is 2pm.
Reason: Cuz its STAR WARS!!! and its FUN!!!
Cost: FREE!!!

There will be door prizes and tournament prizes.
I will be encouraging all of the kids to come with a Player Name picked out, just a name for the tournament that they will be registered as. Can be fictitious or real.

We will be having a draft of ships and cards that will be mandatory to play with during the tournament and can be supplemented with their own ships/cards. These will be their own ships after the tournament to keep.

I will be limiting the amount of rare ships and cards that will be allowed.
I will be acting as a rules arbiter of sorts during the tournament. (Haven't decided if I am going to play or not.)
We will be playing by the rules listed on each rule sheet that has come out with each subsequent edition, and using "house rules" for exceptions or questions that come up during play. I will make final ruling calls on individual cases which will stand for this tournament.

We will be playing with Swiss rounds using points for wins, losses and tiebreakers. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT!

So far the list of possible players includes:
Leah
NK
SRK
NW
DW
PW
AW
CT

Any others are welcome to play.

Since we will be playing quite close to, if not into, Lunch time I will be providing food for all these young rascals! It will be cheap (as i do have a baby on the way) probably pizza and pop.

Concerned parents please feel free to ask any and all questions regarding the tournament.
Oh almost forgot to mention.
Transportation: My plan was to come to mens prayer and if parents can bring their kids either to the mens prayer or at least drop them off after mens prayer (9:30 SHARP), i will be bringing them back to my parents house afterward. I can provide a reasonable amount of tranportation for those that cannot make it to church at that time.
And as far as getting your kids back... they can either be picked up from my parents house around 2pm or I can make arrangements to get them back to your houses somehow, someway

Thank you for letting your kids take part in this fun event! I may even have a devotional just to spiritualize it... ok no I won't thats just going a bit too far!
