First round is over, and an error of Stevens brings the pairings back for corrections.
Any idea on the number of players? How did you do?

Q (Bye) - 8 pts
Stephon (Odd man out Bye) - 8 pts
DabDarklighter - 5 pts

This is what happens when you hold a tournament on a freaking Wednesday.

The primary reason I didn't go. We had guys out of the office but if it was Fri/Sat I'd probably be able to swing it. That and practically taking a whole week off for a 2 day game...eehhh when you only get so many days vacation...

Same for me. Especially given that I'm already commited to GenCon (that also requires me to spend 2 vacation days) and I can see myself wanting to go to Worlds.
...an error of Stevens...
My new favorite saying.
Bummer on the attendance numbers. Both regionals I went to busted 32 on Saturdays. Good news for all attending, though! Great chances at getting amazing prizes.

Is that the collective noun for Stevens? A flock of sheep; a murder of crows; an error of Stevens?
Are there still no streams?

The official term is an Uncertainty of Stevens. Usually you will find them near, or perhaps on, a fence.

But even that is uncertain.

You may or may not find them on or near a fence.

You can either be certain about the person in question being (or not being) Stevens, or about finding (or not finding) the stated person. But not both.
Played Q, last years nationals winner in R2. Been hoping to play him since Martinsburg. Lived up to his reputation and drubbed me 475-100.

Is that what it's called when there is a gathering of more than one Steven? Like a highball of Judsons?

Been hoping to play him since GenCon last year. I expect the same will happen to me if we matchup this year.
Honestly, had the thing not started on a Wednesday you might be hearing more excitement. I think that alienated a lot of the people interested in attending and even following the competition action (myself included).
I signed up for GenCon and was absolutely stunned that the first group is playing on a Thursday. Blew my freaking mind.
And respectfully I jus have never once heard of Origins. Maybe it's just west coast bias, but I would have at least hoped to hear it was at a PAX or something. GenCon works because it's da biggest an' da greenest an' da strongest, but Nationals maybe should move to another event that's a bit more visible. Or even better, over a holiday weekend when people already expect 3-4 days off and won't need to play on a Wednesday in the middle of freaking June.
Isn't Nationals at Origins and North American Championships at GenCon?
You are failing in your sworn dutys!!! Report the prizes!!! 
Seriously though, I need to know so I know if I need to trade for the stuff!!
