TWD - unnamed Tournament, Paris (France) (23rd June 2012)

Both French National- and European Qualifier Tournament Paris, France 23rd June 2012 3R + F Jorge Delgado www.vekn.net/index.php/event-calendar/event/6779 Sorry for not using ARDB, but I don't have it on my current laptop. I'm recovering the deck from a written list. Deck Name: The Spanish Tornado Author: Soufiane Bouzouf, modifications by Jorge Delgado Qualified last for the final (with only 2 VPs and no GWs). I think I had very bad luck with table positions in the whole tournament in general, where I tried desperately to maximize my VPs, but was victim of multiple rushes in 2/3 tables. In the final I think I had really good luck with the positions (since I entered last). That, plus my patience, plus Guilhem's kamikaze gameplay gave me the GW. Didn't have any Jackie, so in fact it should be -1 Eddie Gaines and +1 Jackie. I'm actually thinking of taking out 1 Misdirection and 1 Tribute to the Master to include 1 Sudden Reversal. The deck works quite ok in General. Crypt: 12 ====== 1 Midget 1 Apache Jones 1 Persia , the Beautiful Statue 1 Morel 1 Fabriza Contreraz 1 Sean Rycek 2 Eddie Gaines 1 Cassandra Zangely, the Waif 1 Beauregard Krueller 1 Adelaide Davis 1 Uncle George Library: 75 ======= Master: 13 1 Anarch Troublemaker 1 Bleeding the Vine 2 Dementation 2 Dreams of the Sphinx 1 Information Highway 2 Misdirection 2 Pentex(TM) Subversion 1 Tribute to the Master 1 Wash Action: 26 4 Dive into Madness 18 Kindred Spirits 2 Madman's Quill 2 Restructure Action Modifier: 29 2 Cloak the Gathering 10 Confusion 10 Eyes of Chaos 5 Mind Tricks 2 Veil the Legions Action Modifier/Combat: 5 5 Deny Event: 2 1 Narrow Minds 1 Bitter and Sweet Story

I'd assume he meant "Both" like in "French National Qualifier" and "European Qualifier" tournament. -alf <INSERT CLEVER QUOTATION HERE>

Please kindly write the names of the Finalists, so they can be added to the List of Qualified Players. Thanks, Tiago

As this wasn't an ECQ, only the winner qualifies. I suppose Jorge named it "qualifier" as it did qualify him for the EC (as would any 10+ tournament would qualify its winner).
