OMG! my cards are legal!? Can I take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate you and everything that you do for the community Larry :)
Is it all my cards that are legal? or just the power cards? if all my cards are legal, that would be CRAZY!!
I'm going to guess just the power cards.... ;)
Should be fun. I have marked the weekend!

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?
I would prefer the Buffalo area.

Why not both? Philly in Jan Buffalo in May
I would prefer Buffalo as well since it's really the furtherest place I'm willing to travel to :)
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?
DC3 cards legal: does that include locations as battle sites(Gotham City is sweet!)?
if we are still voting, Buffalo.
DC3 Battlesites are legal.
New Homebase rules will apply. See Jack's post on new rules for K2.
Location will be Buffalo.
I am booking the same location.
Thanks.
Is there a link to the DC3 Battlesites?
all of cards are posted here. The DC3 ones were used last year and again this year:

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.
The room is being remodelled?! I wonder why.... LOL
anyone going to tourny want a place to stay for the weekend i have room at my house.
Any update on the new venue Larry?
Hi all OP players: here is the location information for the Peace Bridge Tourney on Mary 13 and 14 -
St. Mark's & All Saints Episcopal Church
311 Ontario St.
Buffalo, NY 14207
St. Mark's is located off the 90 about 15 minutes north of the Peace Bridge.
The closest hotel is a Super 8 on 1288 Sheridan Dr., Kenmore, NY 14217. It is 7 minutes north of St. Mark's.
Also, as Ed Kowalewski mentioned he will also be providing free housing at his house again this year. Let him know if you are planning to stay there.
Thanks Larry, I updated the homepage to reflect the new location.

Awesome, thanks AO user
What happened? Who made it to the semis and the finals? What decks were they using? Any cool, innovative decks brought to the tournament?
Larry recapped the whole thing in real time:
