50 players joined us for the second ever ChaosCon. Players played through 6 rounds of Old School (Boreal banlist) in Swiss format.
We had players from Southwestern Ontario, Montreal, Toronto and even British Columbia. We also piqued the curiosity of some new Ottawa players.
We sent $2,641 to the Ottawa Food Bank where monetary donations can be stretched further because of their partners.
Organizer’s musings
I was quite worried our numbers would push beyond what we could fit in the basement at the Glebe Clocktower. We could have maybe gone to 52 players. Beyond that, players would have had to play on the main floor of the bar which would have made announcements difficult.
Six rounds seemed like the perfect amount of Magic and the time slot worked out perfectly: It allowed our Montreal friends to drive in and out on the same day.
Overall, the event ran very smoothly. Everyone behaved, and I didn’t lose my voice the next day.
I am deeply thankful for those who contributed prizes and for everyone who acted excellent with each other. Running events with such a great community is fulfilling for me and I look forward to doing it next year.
Also, a thank you to Jason Keays whose pictures I stole. Why not check out Terrain Basique – Episode 260 where he talks about the tournament.
Standings
Lorenzo was the sole 6-0 at the end of six rounds and takes home the bragging rights (and a stamped Strip Mine). Congratulations Lorenzo! Well deserved.
