Our last local Standard RCQ had 14 players and the store hosting it is considering changing how often they support organized play.
Howdy gamers, here's a serious post about B&R scheduling and philosophy I'd recommend taking a look at:

Coming to terms with the fact that MTG Spiderman spoiler season starts in 7 weeks; and by coming to terms I mean crashing out and sobbing uncontrollably.

There are some pretty cheap Standard decks on Magic Online right now, if you want to jump in. Boros Convoke for 8 tix, Golgari Midrange at 11, and Gruul Aggro for 29. Even Dimir and Mono-White are only about 75 tix. #mtg #mtgo

I think every PT should have a Nadu at them until WOTC learns to be more responsible with what they print on cards

Oh we cant ban anything during Modern RCQ season, that would be insanity.
However, we can CHANGE THE RULES OF THE GAME in a way that massively affects the modern format.

I was told to "just trophy a league" so I did my best!
Round 10: 2-1 Izzet Prowess
Round 11: 2-0 Izzet Prowess
Round 12: 2-0 Izzet Prowess
Round 13: 2-1 Mono Red
Round 14: 0-2 Izzet Prowess
Queueing for next RC and getting $500 is pretty nice for my best RC run to date by a long shot

Why is it always "Players complain too much, if we ban cori, they'll complain about beans and pixies again" and not "Maybe WOTC is printing extremely fucking shitty cards repeatedly."

No Modern changes until September due to RCQ season is so much worse than any complaints about Standard.

No standard ban announcements except once a year, no modern ban announcements for six months, no pioneer ban announcements ever. Why even schedule quarterly ban announcements?
