Update on location: I am keeping Buffalo area open as an option but I am also looking at locations near Baltimore and Philadelphia in January.

Any preference? Buffalo, Baltimore, Philly?

For the Femme Fatales tourney on Saturday night, May 13:

1. DC3 cards are legal
2. Battlesites using male characters as activators will be legal. The logic is that there are male Any hero/character cards. Just keeping it consistent. The main characters must be female.
3. The Can/Am tradition will continue. Canada leads the infamous series 2-1.

Any thoughts?

Hi Jack,

Seneca Gospel Mission is the parent company. So yes it is the same place. UNFORTUNATELY the main room is being remodeled and won't be finished in time for the tourney. I have been looking at alternate locations since last week. I will let you know as soon as I secure a location.

I like the new announcement :) I wonder if the money will change the decks that make it out :D 

Saturday tourney announcement #1 - this is a bonus challenge. If you WIN the tournament on Saturday AND don't have Spawn, Scarlet Witch, Beast, Starjammers, Heroes for Hire, or Dr. Strange on your team you will get a BONUS of $200. The bonus is in addition to having first choice from the prize pool.

Larry recapped the whole thing in real time:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1125791020785591/1177469922284367/

I think in top 8, there were only 2 decks that had characters that weren't part of incentive.  There were no Spawns, Scarlet Witches or Star Jammers at all yesterday.
