Alberta Provincials Quick Overview
Mark Comey

www.MagicCan.com

Where: The Realm in Edmonton
Who: 41 players
What: The Provincial Tournament
Why: Bragging rights as the best in the Province
How: By putting together solid decks and guessing the Metagame

    The Players gathered in an abandoned strip mall space next to The Realm,  The space was adequate but not overly comfortable.  With a few late registrations and the first round re-paired the tournament began shortly after 11:00.  It ran 6 rounds of swiss with 41 people, then went to Top 8 single elimination with the final being the best 3 out of 5 games. 

   The 6 rounds of swiss flew by with less than 6 people dropping from the tournament.  It's always good to see when people come out to play and have fun.  After the swiss the field was Narrowed down to the top 8.
