UPDATE***In reflection of the current market for single cards, the prizes structure has changed in order to better reward the top players. Top 4 will have an additional pick on top of the lotus/mox prize. Top 8 players will now only have one pick from the top 8 pool and will pick before the top 4 players receive their second pick. This is to avoid 5th place potentiality being rewarded more than first place. Thank you for understanding and we hope to see you there!*** Don't forget about the GPT on Sunday for only $10 if you play in the Lotus event. Feel free to email me if you're looking for a hotel to stay, there's a strip not too far from the mall - 5 mins drive.

Well that looks pretty nutty, awesome.
So how are the picks for prizes going to work? Do you only get the one playset? How is there a remainder?
5th - 8th earn 2 choices in their category.
Each play set is one pick, there will be remainders from above brackets. Basically its designed to give those players first choices of the better stuff. Any remaining choices will be available to the next category of players.
example
1st place, lotus
2nd sapphire
3rd jet
4th emerald
5th goyfs, tiagas
6th undergrounds, forces
7th tundras, bayous
8th LED's, trops
all remaining "top 8 prize pool choices" move down to top 16 players.
so the pool would now be:
4x stifle
4x bloodstained mire
4x flooded strand
4x polluted delta
4x windswept heath
4x wooded foothills
4x arid mesa
4x misty rainforest
4x marsh flats
4x scalding tarn
4x verdant catacombs
Plus:
4x badlands
4x plateau
4x scrubland
4x savannah
4x volcanic island
So top 16 still have some choices of duals/remaining choices.
Thanks for clearing that up for me!
I hate to be that guy, but I have another question: are the Lotus/Moxens Alpha, Beta, or Unlimited?
If Unlimited, 5th-8th place is potentially worth more/the same as 2nd-4th. If that's the case might I suggest giving 1-4 a second pick after 5-8 but before Top 16...?
Yes, they will be unlimited. Thank your for the suggestion about additional choices, i will consider it in the future.
5th will get 1st and 5th pick
6th will get 2nd and 6th
7th will get 3rd and 7th
8th will get 4th and 8th
Wait will 9th place get more than 3-8th? Will there be too few rounds?
just for you bryant!
I will be there.

Is the store big enough to hold a tournament of this size?

Thanks Di, I didn't want to be that guy :)
This looks really interesting, I think a gang from Montreal is very likely.
If I'm still on the East Coast in June, I will be there, with a carful of other scrubs in tow (and possibly fishnabubu, if he's up for it).
Definitely get Fishnabubu to come, I'm still waiting for my revenge. >:O
Thank you for having this in a bigger venue! :) The last tourny's turnout was a bit large for the store in my opinion, but I have definitely seen worse.
~that girl who beat you~
Prize support looks really good. Anyone from Vermont driving down for this?
bump :)
Any chance of this just getting stickied like the Winter Wonderland was? Not that I'm going to forget, but that would probably be more convenient for you.
Now all that will be needed is a a huge tent. That way the people on the 2nd floor aren't looking at all the nerds in a fish bowl.
