Thanks Doan.

Looks like I'll be playing in my first tournament in over a decade.

What What What? Who is this? How did you get the password for Dana's account?

Please note ComicReaders Downtown will open its doors at 9:30 on Saturday and will be starting registration at that time. I'm doing this to speed along the registration process because I expect a crowd for the event. Packs of Avacyn Restored will not be given out until 10am, however.

Starting early sounds like a good plan Chad.

If I read that correctly it sounds like you have 2 Helvaults that require opening. Am I correct in assuming this?

ChadBoudreau · April 26, 2012, 12:04:05 PM

Blake, you are correct. We have 2 Helvaults. One for Saturday (10am start time) and one for Sunday (10am start time).

Hey Chad, will there be a sealed release event on Friday May 4?

ChadBoudreau · April 29, 2012, 07:31:03 AM

Chris, yes, there will be. Friday night will be a sealed Avacyn Restored event.

Our Saturday Pre-Release was a big success. We ran three events between the hours of 10am and 8:30pm, with more than 80 players over the course of the day. The Helvault was opened in round three (if memory serves me correctly) in the first event, with the honours going to Steve Mock who cracked the last seal. I took some pictures and will have those up on the ComicReaders Downtown Facebook page this evening or Monday morning.

With so many players over concurrent events there were a couple hiccups and I want to thank all participants for their patience and understanding when we had to do a new pairings.

Since Saturday was such a success how about we do it all again today (Sunday)?

see you at 10am.

It was actually opened the end of the second (remember since it took me two matches to open a seal myself and it was open before I started my third).

Was a lot of fun. Thanks for having us!

Wish I could attend - working... and have the kids after... maybe next one?

Thanks to everyone that came to the Sunday Pre-Release events. Sunday is always a smaller but no less enthusiastic crowd. Congrats to Merv who cracked the final seal on our second Helvault. Pictures still forthcoming.
