fractal9091 did get out to sightsee, and he did make it back in time for the tournament registration party, but he's feverish and really quite sick. I hope he's getting a good night's sleep before the big day.

Here's how it works. In about 8 hours, he'll show up at the tournament site, then he and the others will get access to the cards from which to create their first decks. They'll play for three rounds, then make all-new decks and play for three more, I guess; at that point if he's at least 4-2 he'll get to continue in the tournament; otherwise he's out but can move on to other exciting activities over the weekend, like trying to qualify to play in Berlin in the fall.

At some point awfully soon, the Wizards of the Coast people should have the Pro Tour preview page up so I can start following along from home. They typically have page after page of tournament coverage. What's taking them so long?
