Where:

The Gaming Goat (http://thegaminggoat.com/)
2090 Larkin Ave
Elgin, IL 60123

(It's not too far from Randall Rd., which connects to I-90 and US 20).

When: 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM on Saturday Dec. 3rd, 2011

Set up will begin at 4:00, registration at 4:30.

Who:
Me, running the show - I will not be playing.
Up to 32 other people

What:
Summoner Wars Tournament

Swiss style, with like records playing each other until we have one undefeated player. Bring one deck to play all tourney, using the standard deck building rules as described in the rulebook. If you don't have a deck, I will be willing to provide you with one if you ask ahead of time.

4 50-minute rounds if we've got 16 or less. 5 if we get up to the full 32.

I've got 16 Chess clocks for up to 32 players, and 30 Mercenary Promo cards (10 each of Khan Queso, Sairook, and Khexhu).

There will also be at least one Summoner Wars Master Set up for grabs to the winner. Every player who shows up to play in the tourney will get a free choice of promo while supplies last. More prizes may be added and announced as we get a larger head count.

How (much):
Just $5.00

For anyone coming from out of town, there's a lot of space on the floor and couches of my house. We'll likely have some kind of after-party there either way...

Attendee List:

1. Kyle (local)
2. Justin (local)
3. Devin (local)
4. Wyrm187
5. Mrs. Wyrm
6. Don (local)
7. Clarissimus

I'd love to attend this event, it is not too far away from me now. And I have a friend or two I can probably bring with me.

However, it's also the day on which I'm moving in all my furniture and stuff. So hopefully we can get that finished in the morning/afternoon and I'll still have time to participate. I'll let you know when I get more details.

Pretty sure I am gonna make it (barring automotive failure, acts of God, etc.) but my friend cannot come so it'll just be me.

Jexik, you don't have yourself on the list of attendees. I hope you are ready to jump in if we have an odd number of players. Byes are no fun at all, especially with a small group of people.

Yeah, I or one of the guys who runs the store will pop in if we're at an odd number.

I was originally saying that I'd not play to help some of the people from my local group want to come. But there may be other from out of town who are more likely to want to play if I'm in it.

I've only got 4 Premium boards and the one cool one I got from GenCon 2010. I'll probably get 2-3 paper ones with me just in case.

If anyone else ends up coming who is not on this list, it might be a good idea to bring your own board. I've plenty of chess clocks.
