The best thing for oyu to do is try asking your local game shop to run a casual type 1 tourney... If you're looking for sanctioned tournaments - they exist, but are rare... The best place to find these is on the DCI home page... I don't have a link to it but you can get there through Wizards' site. They will have a list of all sanctioned tourneys. There is a place in Albuquerque that runs type 1 tourneys, but I only know this through a friend who used to live there... Believe me, his notebokk of moxen and lotii is enough to let me know the prizes are worth playing for!!!... That's the best I can do for you...
In Mississippi: Van's Cards and Comics (www.vanscards.com) has monthly Type One. Georgia: The War Room may have them still. Gamekeeper in the Roswell Mall somtimes will, as well(Ransac, you've got their number still, right? What mall was that?)
The Gamekeeper in the Douglasville (GA) mall has a Type 1 every Wednesday, but I don't know that they're ever sanctioned. The one I played in wasn't.
