Final round you got to add 2 more of each basic land.<br /><br />Once 8 or so people were out of a tournament he started another one up, anyone from a previous one who lost during the first round was added in with a bye. It worked pretty well and we all had a blast. I did open anything great but everyone around me did and it was to discover your rare halfway through the game.<br /><br />Glad to see your events doing so well, keep up the good work.purevalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-34819426212191438102011-09-13T20:11:53.017-04:002011-09-13T20:11:53.017-04:00@NLi10 Neither can I :-) I'm very humbled and ...@NLi10 Neither can I :-) I'm very humbled and gratified at the attention this thing is getting.

Glad to see I helped in my own little way.<br /><br />We missed the FNM deadline for Sep so will be battling for the other promos from Oct!NLi10https://www.blogger.com/profile/09384451945964690542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-89663371044972290092011-09-12T19:56:50.880-04:002011-09-12T19:56:50.880-04:00@Bruce I honestly don't think I can blame WER ...@Bruce I honestly don't think I can blame WER for most of my problems, so much as I can blame my unfamiliarity with WER.TheSundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682058776462298070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-24946693680557187462011-09-12T16:16:42.439-04:002011-09-12T16:16:42.439-04:00I have never used WER live at a tournament yet. I...I have never used WER live at a tournament yet. I randomly pair by die roll for the first round, then do my best to match identical records after that. Since my tournaments are generally 16 people or less, this has not been time-consuming and has saved headaches like you have been having with WER. <br /><br />I intend to set it up for the coming Prerelease, but if there are any problems, I'm going to switch to pairing manually right away.Brucehttp://musevessel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-63672038969453505872011-09-12T12:01:12.882-04:002011-09-12T12:01:12.882-04:00@Greg: Thanks for the support!

It would be nice it there were a decent printed manual for it (I'm one of those who does much better with a real physical manual in my hands).TheSundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682058776462298070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-90574669922100752882011-09-12T02:17:56.512-04:002011-09-12T02:17:56.512-04:00I'm glad that your events are going so well! ...I'm glad that your events are going so well! It definitely seems like you're struggling with WER, though.<br />I was at the Judge Conference in Atlanta recently and Jared Sylva (L4 judge, has run every single Star City Open for the past year+) gave a presentation about head judging on your own. He was not very keen on WER and pretty much all the judges there with experience with it chimed in that WER is terrible. They use DCI Reporter. Not sure if that's an older name or a different version, but there's some info in this thread: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=207769Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26625845.post-22719831072492689512011-09-11T17:15:33.392-04:002011-09-11T17:15:33.392-04:00wow woudl've loved to be there but had other p...wow woudl've loved to be there but had other plans for that time :/ great job with the blog@!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
