VII Polish MECCG Nationals - REPORT

Post by |Highwayman| » Sat Nov 17, 2007 11:44 am

Right, some explanations first. This time we didn't advertise our event too much - frankly not at all besides basic posts here and on CoE forums. As we didn't get any responses to our posts and a few weeks later the MECCG European Championships were announced to be held on the exact same weekend as our tournament - we didn't see much point in competing with Euros :wink:
Besides as lovely and great as our venue was it could prove hard to reach for foreigners as the nearest airport is 3-4 hours away :(

Moving on, our event was great as ever, or maybe even better :D The only thing we could complain about was that over 10 of our regulars couldn't come due to various reasons so there were only 16 of us in total - which makes this event historical as for the first time we had an even number of players so no BYE's were needed :P

We played 5 rounds of general opponent 1-deck games (but 25MP's needed to call the council), universal decks (no deck switching vs. different alignments allowed, you bring only 1 deck and play with it vs. all opponents you face), standard Polish Tournament Rules.
On to the results:

Just out of curiosity:
How does it come that you usually have two nationals a year in Poland  :o  :?:

why not?  :P

it is within our capabilities to gather for a big, nation-wide tournament twice a year so we do it - I suppose we could name just one of those events Nationals but what's the point? :roll:  it's just a name and the important thing is to gather with lots of friends, see each other, talk and play some MECCG and other games :)
