Pick three players and nominate one of them as your captain (for tiebreaking). 3 points for each win in the World Championship (including the Sunday).

That is some line up even without PV and LSV. How do we go about drafting it? Pick your top 3 including a captain for tie breaks and allow dupes? Or 1-8, 8-1?

magic.bluebones.net/ptdraft/ was quite fun at the last pro tour so let's do something similar for the World Championship.

Is there any interest in World Cup viewing, pizza eating,  and/or drafting on Sunday?  I'm quite a fan of setting up the webcast on a big screen and hanging out watching it.

Webcast starts at 8am.  I believe its World Magic Cup QF-SF-F, followed by World Championship SF - F.

We were talking about doing this at mine (Pimlico) although we hadn't made a solid plan.

[Thomas David Baker]

Confirmed with the missus that we can do this at mine. (Laptop into 40" TV, two sofas, assortment of other uncomfortable chairs.) If people are interested?

Or there's that esports bar thing which might show it???

[Levi Hinz]

I'm more than happy with an at-home affair.  And Pimlico seems pretty convenient!

[Nick Lovett]

I could be free and interested in this!

[Thomas David Baker]

Cool. Mr. Royde was also talking about showing up to cheer on the inevitable English victory.

[Thomas David Baker]

Any other takers? I need rough numbers to tell the caterers :)

[Simon O'Keeffe]

[Louis Mackie]

[Paul Hodgson]
