 Bump! Also I'll volunteer to be a Judge.

 Any chance on a room discount on the hotel?

I've looked into this in the past and I can't make a decent guesstimate to how many folks are willing to make the trip. For later tournaments I will set up a prereg system and hopefully be able to provide discounts. If you need a place to stay there may be a couple houses here available to put you up.

If someone would be willing to let me crash, pm me here or on cardgamedb.
