Put of a show of likes who would be down to draft conspiracy
Anyone interested in a tag-team tournament?
Tournament soon?
Knowing that a few of our members have finals next week, would anyone be interested in a tournament the week after? Christian said he would be open to the idea of having a tournament at his new apartment.
Tag team tournament what day works?
League Fact #7:
As of March 9th, 2016, there have been 28 different competitors in our 14 combined tournaments!
Everyone excited for Saturday's tournament?
Is anyone interested in another tournament sometime soon?
So after some discussions, there has been a movement to promote Steve Pride, Tre Clark, and Harrison Downs to admins. They will be equal in power as a triumvirate, with myself (Shane), still presiding over. They can make posts and events.
Congratulations to Shane McCann for winning the 16th NLP Singles tournament!
Tournament tomorrow! Who's excited?
So while we're still playing on this Wednesday, there will be no Hero of Theros as Shane forgot to bring the decks. Sorry!
What would be your opinion if Hero of Theros was added to the next Tournament? For those that don't know, its a three-round match up of one of your decks, a hero of your choice, against the Hydra, the Horde, and the God. The winner becomes the Hero of Theros!
Just as an FYI for the upcoming tournament, the format is still to be determined! The tournament should be sometime the week of March 6th.
