         What are the chances that Tuesdays ever become sanctioned? Is that even possible?

         I can sanction them, I have not sanctioned them so I can still play in them and since we usually don't have finals on Tuesday's I didn't know if that would offend some people if they were sanctioned. Are you looking to boost your DCI rating or something Ben?

         Another option for "sanctioning" on Tuesday's is casual sanctioning in which judges or coordinators can play but it does not count for your DCI rating so the only benefit I see for that is the tournament gets listed on the DCI website. I can even do this for 5/5/5 or all-rare drafts just for more advertising I suppose.

         Haha, yea, I'm looking for that rating boost. Casual sanctioning could be cool. Those still count for your rewards stuff, don't they? Yea, I was pretty much just looking for that rating boost, though. I wouldn't want to take away playing from you, so don't even think about it if you don't want to quit playing. It's not that big of a deal. I guess I need to start showing up on Saturdays that are sanctioned. Speaking of which, what tournaments on Saturdays are usually sanctioned? I know the pre-release and release should be, but what about other formats?

         I may sanction a Tuesday once a month maybe, but Saturday's have not been sanctioned for a month or so. With the grab bag sealed league play I can't sanction that for actual rated points but I do schedule the occasional Leagacy for sanctioned play on Saturday afternoon. I may schedule one Tuesday a month for sanctioning just for Standard play but we have to get 8 people at least.

         And yes I believe the casual sanctioning still counts for your rewards stuff just not your DCI points.

         Casual Sanctioning seems like a good idea if it's not too much trouble.

         I can try it again, I tried it once a couple months ago and even though it looked like it was reported fine the DCI said they never received it so I resent it like 5 times and they said they still never got it and they were going to report it delinquint so I told them to cancel it. I think it may be a program glich on either my end or their end but I don't know which.

         Hmm, if it's going to be a problem then nevermind, I just thought it would be kinda cool.
