Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
I, for one, am probably going to be driving down and expect to have at least 1 person with me. I expect to get a hotel room. I don't know if I will have more room in the car or the room yet.

Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
I can get pretty good deals on rooms. I'd prefer to ride down with someone else though.

I'm working on finalizing the non-local people considering going with me, but I think that Charlotte is going to keep my attention for the next week or so. I'll try to not forget about it though....

Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
Ballparking for your convenience:
Round trip driving: ~450 miles
Average (?) car: ~20 mpg
Approximate price of gas: $2.50/gallon
450 / 20 * 2.5 = $56.25
Hotel: I'd say $100 to be safe (4 people, assuming taxes, etc) though there are cheaper ones
So using those numbers and assuming you can split things 4 ways, that works out to ~$41. Maybe $50 to be safe.

Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
So I've been looking at who all is going to be going. Here's my guesses:
Person's name / Driving/riding with / Staying with
Matt / Matt / Matt
Jedion / Matt / Matt
Seth / Seth / Seth
Kevin / Kevin / ?
Gavin / Kevin and Seth / Seth
Luke / Kevin and Seth / Seth
Rob / Rob / ?
Rob's son / Rob / ?
Ly / ? / ?
RJ / ? / ?
Peter / ? / ?
Alex / ? / ?
James / ? / ?
Logan / ? / ?
Ben / ? / ?
Bryant / ? / ?
I know for sure that Kevin, Gavin, Luke, Seth, and myself are planning on going. I know for sure that Bryant hasn't decided. I know that Rob was probably going to go along with his son. Everyone else I haven't heard specifically from except for this thread.
Assuming that everyone here is planning on going, here's one possible way to set up people and cars:
Car 1: Kevin (Friday) - Kevin, Gavin, Luke
Car 2: Matt (Saturday) - Matt, Jedion, Alex, Bryant
Car 3: Ly (?) - Ly, James, Logan, Ben
Car 4: Rob (Saturday?) - Rob, Rob's son, RJ, Peter
I don't know if anyone other than Kevin, Gavin, Luke, Seth, Jedion, or myself have made arrangements, though. I'm mostly posting this as a way we could have minimal numbers of cars going southbound.
Edit: Also, this doesn't address who's sleeping where. I haven't worried about that as much yet. Are most people willing to sleep 4 to a room?

Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
I decided to pass on the Realm champs this time, MTG regionals are hosted on the same day and the realms format being 3 rounds constructed / 3 rounds draft means that I’m not all that confident that I’ll make it to day 2. Good luck to everyone going.

Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
Me, Logan and James are going on Friday. We got our hotel room, but it is small enough for 3 people. I still have not decided if I am going to play TCG or Minis. I am waiting to see how many people are doing which game before I decide. Does Luke have an invited? Is Dan going?

Re: Carpooling & hotel room for Realm Championships
Luke is going to play in the open since he doesn't have an invite. Dan said he wasn't going and I haven't heard anything contradicting that yet.
And for Alex, good luck at the regionals!
