Growth

We've experienced a surge in attendance over the past two weeks mainly because we added other formats to our usual Standard offering. We still haven't perfected running multiple events and our customers have suffered as a result but better planning and execution should solve most of the issues. I expect Sunday to go smoothly with two Level One judges overseeing things. We're also starting earlier, one hour to be exact from 1pm to 12pm. This is to accommodate the extra rounds required by a Grand Prix Trial and Game Day.

It's also gladdening to witness our community engaging in cosplay. It has added a dimension to our weekly gathering that makes everyone smile. Hopefully we can have more people engaging in this fun activity at a future big event.

Offering new things isn't easy and success isn't guaranteed but standing still is not an option. Customers deserve fun and competition that can't be beat and we will work hard to provide both. It is up to my team to do their best in coming up with as many ideas to add value to the customer experience and to run our events professionally. Being boring and disjointed are capital sins in this business. We don't want to commit them because we love our community.

We are currently laying the foundation for growth, developing new players and judges. New blood means the game will survive longer and new judges mean the community has more leaders to take up the cudgels from us. While progress has been haphazard, the most important thing is to TRY ANYTHING AND EVVERYTHING to make Magic the most respected and played card game in the country.
