Hi!  My name is Micah, and I'm a long-time player and collector.  I've never organized a tournament before, but I'd like to give it a try, and hope all of you can help me make it a great one!  We already have major Old School events scheduled in June (Long Island), July (Vegas), August (Chicago) and October (Pittsburgh), and I don't want to conflict with any of those, so I'm aiming for a winter event in NY.  Looking for your input now on preferred dates, formats and venues!  You can always reach me on Twitter @RagingRiverMTG.  Thanks for taking the time to complete the survey!

Question Title

* 1. The tournament would be somewhere in the greater NYC area (probably Westchester), not in Manhattan but accessible from it by train (no more than 30-40 minutes from midtown Manhattan). The venue would also have parking. Assuming you could make it, how would you be most likely to travel to the venue?

Question Title

* 2. Please indicate your preference for proposed dates for the event.  If the event goes really well, perhaps we can make it annual thing!

  Great for me Probably would work for me Probably bad for me No way I could come then It's only May dude, I have no idea yet
