| What is the overall status on lotr tcg tournaments in North America? Are there still national tournaments or anything of the sort? Is it just me or does it seem like decipher is kinda giving up on the game? Any information would be appreciated. |

| Sorry, I really don’t know the answer. But I do know that most normal tournaments are not scheduled anymore; there are only 12 tournies scheduled on Decipher’s site for the entire US this January. |

Tournaments don’t need to be scheduled and run through Decipher anymore.
All you need is a group of players to enter a fee ($3 or so) and then get packs for the winners.
On that note, it seems signs of life in Wichita are popping up. I’ve got a nice-sized playing group forming. |

It kind of happened on accident... I got a couple boxes for Christmas, and a couple friends ( , to be exact) were over and I built them all decks. Now they’re all interested in playing (even if it’s with just my cards).
My brother is getting interested again  , and I have another friend I need to bring into the fold  . Counting me  , and that’s a sanctioned tournament.
I think it’ll be a little while before they’re all ready for serious play, though. Most of them need a lot more training.  |

| Tournament sanctioning only requires 6 people now and for the tournament to be posted in the Decipher site. Although I don’t know how many sanctioned tournaments there still are since people generally don’t like paying the D-Tax ($1 for tournament entry fees) and then not getting any prize support. |

Hang on, 6 people is a sanctioned tournament?
We have a group of 12 playing informally in the Wichita area. Let me know, menace, if you get a tournament set up. Of course, if we play, it would have to be open or expanded, because half of us don’t even have enough standard legal cards to build a deck.
And of course, we’d have to ban my friend’s knight/orc deck from play so that someone could beat him for once.  |

More Wichitans!!??!
But yeah, none of us play strict standard. I just let them build decks with any cards they like.
I will definately let you and Carpe know when things get planned. It shouldn’t be too long. |

| No enforced deck styles...sounds pretty cool. I’ve finally got a small-sized collection now (a heap of C/U, and a few handfuls of rares). Too bad Prarie Dog isn’t around any more...I hear they used to run tournies. |

Actually Prairie Dog is still around, they just moved a bit east.
I don’t have an address, but they’re (exactly) just north from the Towne West mall. It’s a little shopping complex. Their place is a *lot* bigger now.
And yeah, I used to be a regular at their tournaments (And Blue Horse’s before that).
But - if you haven’t yet - go by C&R Comics (immediately North of East High). They’re pretty cool, and I’ve talked with the owner enough to be able to get LotR going. |
