2004 New Jersey Open Qualifier
2004 New Jersey Open Qualifier was a Star Wars CCG Open Qualifier for the 2004 World Championship, played on Saturday 14 August 2004 at Dark Tower Games in Denville, New Jersey. It was the last chance qualifier before the World Championship at Gen Con, with two Day 2 seats and the Players Committee's "Ultimate Package" of prizes, including the design of a virtual card.[1] Scott Lingrell directed it. 27 players took part, including two from Germany (Chris Menzel and Enno Haede). After six games Mike Dalton and Greg Shaw were first and second; the players chose not to play the final confrontation, and Dalton awarded Shaw the grand prize of designing a virtual card.[1]
