GP Utrecht

[Daniel Royde]

Is anyone else going? If you haven't played teams before, it's more fun than you think.

I'm flying 18:50 LGW – 21:10 AMS on Friday and 08:55 AMS – 09:05 LGW on Monday.

I'm staying next to the station and venue, here:

how much werre flights and hotel then, been thinking about going

[Ben Titmarsh]

How does Team Sealed work?  Presumably you each build a deck individually from the normal six booster sealed pool and it's just a case of adding up the points for your wins and draws?

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

not at all you get a pool of boosters between the 3 of you and you each build decks, each match consists of your team results (if you win but both team mates lose the result would be 1-2)

Wow so 18 boosters split between 3 players?  The decks must be ridiculous in this format! 

Did I read a while back that they were introducing a 4-of limit in limited tournaments?

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

it won't be 18, prob about 14ish, I can't remember the correct numbers, the problems will be trying to get 3 very good decks

[Simon O'Keeffe]

I'm pretty sure it is 12 boosters across the team.

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

think your on the money

[Ben Titmarsh]

makes more sense

[Thomas David Baker]

As a side note the Games Club is running a 12-boosters team trios event on Saturday 2nd Feb (Gatecrash Sealed).

I was thinking of using it as an opportunity to try this format everyone says is so fun.  If I can find a couple of friends.

Re: Utrecht.  It's actually quite drivable should you be so inclined.

[Glenn Goldsworthy]
