(...) Looks like this set has around 123 unique pieces. There are a few lots that we will probably split like the 2x2 blue tile, 1x2 white tile, and 1x8 red tile. We will match and split the wedges too. (pair up the left and right wedges and then (...) (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

In the event of a lot being overly large and/or coveted, it's sometimes split by common agreement. For example, when GPLR did the (...) (18 years ago, 27-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Yes there will be a draft at BrickFest this year! In case you forgot, a draft is where everyone brings an unopened copy of the same set. All the sets are sorted into lots and then lots are chosen in a round robin fashion till all the lots are gone. (...)
