The FNM format is always draft right? Is there a top 8 cut? What time does it start? How many people go? Time it ends (approx)? Prize support? Thanks. EG is a serious option for me, from what I hear the competition there can help me get better overall. Some may say it is too far but don't consider Pueblo too far...I don't understand that at all. EG is like 15 minutes further than Pueblo store from center of town. If you live in Fountain, that is a different story. I may be looking at spreading my FnMs among different stores, and making it up there for at least 1 FnM a month may pay me more dividends in the end. |

Everytime that I've gone to EG on Mondays, the competition there is definately a subset of the better players at the PTQs that we regularly see. Much better than what we usually see in the Springs. |

Forwarded those questions to Jeff, I'll paste his answers as soon as I get 'em. I do know that they offer Standard, but draft is what most of the players do; the Standard event doesn't always fire. I seem to recall 7pm start - but I'd call the store to confirm, or check their web site, or wait for Jeff's answer ... i.e., don't bank on my memory. I never do. How many varies, of course - but he sometimes gets 50-60, I think. No clue on end time or prize support. d:^D |

I've taken a bit of a break from EG's the last couple of months due to the holidays and my own work schedule on Fridays...but here's what I know: Monday is Standard - Starts at 6:30pm. They get between 16 and 30+ people. There is usually a good mixed bag of players to play with. Wednesday is Draft - Starts at 6:30pm. They usually get 2 draft pods. FNM is both Standard and Draft - Starts at 7pm, but reg closes at 6:50pm. Lately there hasn't been enough interest to hold a Standard, but they fire one off with 8-12 people in the Standard portion I would say 1 out of every 3 FNM's. The Draft portion is the most popular for FNM getting a minimum 2 draft pods up to 5 draft pods. When I go there on Fridays, I bring a Standard deck to play in the event they need players to fill the Standard (or if I want to play standard), but the draft is a fallback. Prizes are based upon standings based on swiss, so no Top 8. FNM foils, and packs for Standard. FNM foils and Picks for all drafts. DJINN |

Got the reply from Jeff, and it confirms what Djinn already said plus a few details:

Thanks guys. As I said, I would like to make 1 trip a month to EG a routine for me. Will get all this hashed out after GP Denver. |
