I have a ride and a room and will 99% be going, unless some freak accident occurs. Just wanted to know who else is going? I will be there both days, playing Day 1 and hopefully judging day 2 (All VGC if I dont make T16, Only Masters VGC if I do make T16)
 
You forgot to mention Regionals is be held on the same farm where Secretariat was born. :) I am going but sadly I can't play my secret deck. T-T
 
The deck I was going to play? Or the one that you mentioned to me at DW?

I can't go.
 
@glaceon The one I was telling you about. Too bad you can't go. :(
 
I'm going to go to regionals and totally maybe win some games probably. For sure, I suppose. Or judge. Totally make calls you can complain about online -that's how you know they were right.
 
Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.


We have the opportunity to get a discounted rate at a very new hotel only 1.5 miles from the tournament sight. My dad called the Country Inn & Suites and they will give us a group rate if we can come up with 10 or more rooms. The room is only $49.99 ($56.49) but includes a FREE HOT Breakfast for 1 adult and up to 3 children under the age of 16! The cost is usually over $70 before tax. Think of how much you could save not eating at the Denny’s in the other hotel. The Country Inn also has an indoor pool and hot tub and has a traveler rating of 4.4 out of 5 on Orbitz.

So I need to have at least 10 commitments to book the room block. Then I will let you know how to call and reserve your room for the tournament. Spread the word to your VGC friends as well. I’m sure they will honor the block for the Friday night as well. So message me and let me know what night you would want the room for and when I have enough commitments I will call the hotel to reserve the block. Then I’ll let you know the name that it is under so you or your parents can call to get the discounted rate. If you have any questions go ahead and ask.
 
Change of plans. I am not going to Regionals. :( I am going to be in a wedding that day.
 
Your getting married? I MIGHT be going. I hope so anyways. I live in the middle of NC. Pinehurst to be exact. How long would it take for me to get there.
 
I wondered how long it would take for somebody to say/ask that. It would take you about 4 - 4 1/2 hours to get to Dowell, VA.
 
Your getting married too? I might be going with LORD OF RANGERS. His mom just has to deside. I'm going regardless
 
What is it with people having to go to weddings on Nov 12? Glaceon is only in his early teen years. If somebody can snag me a Regional promo card when they go, I will trade them for it.
 
I could. Do you know what it will be? Also, I know that Glaceon is around my age. :p I was just kidding.
