On Saturday Teemu Sainomaa will be running a draft.
If I'm not mistaken we agreed that the event will start at noon.
On Sunday at least I'll be running demos for n00bs.

Using pretty much those, except for the Tournament Point chart. Thanks for the seating chart. I had misplaced my copy of that.

A couple of things of note:
-This year will probably be the last one where we can hand out promos in large quantities like there's no tomorrow. These will only be available for ECQ participants and not available in draft/rapid thought.
-I just sorted enough promos for 100 players and these will go to the players that registered first. Remember that you can and, well, should register in advance so email Petri () with your name and VEKN number (if you have one and know it).
There are 49 different promos available and if we get less than ninetysomething players the number will be upped to 52, so there would thus be a promo for each week while you count the days to Ropecon 2013...
-We also have enough qualification t-shirts for a 100 player tournament. If worst comes to worst, and we actually need more shirts due to humongous attendance, people who have already qualified and received a qualifier shirt will be ignored when we hand out the shirts.
We have several sizes available. Please note that the sizes are not really accurate as shirts are a size larger than what they claim (S=M, M=L etc).
-We also do have a problem regarding the shirts as they were not free and we can't charge people for attending the event at Ropecon
Because of this we have been putting aside an euro per player in each Helsinki and Tampere tournaments to cover the costs. This was also done at the Nationals and the draft organized the day before it. I'd like to thank the tournament organizers as well as frequent players, expecially those who travelled to other cities to play, for helping out on this -you guys are the greatest!
Unfortunately we're still somewhat short. The exact sum isn't known yet, but I'd estmate it'll be around 100 euros. We were planning on using the prize support vouchers the con will probably be handing out to the tournament for paying the shirts but that most likely won't be nearly enough.
So in light of this I'd like to propose that during the tournament each player can make a voluntary donation, for the sum that they deem fit, to get a VTES-pin. If everyone does this, 50 cents or 1 euro should be enough.
All donations will go to pay the shirts and if we happen get extra money this way this will be used to "free" prize support vouchers for prize support.
-After this evening, I probably won't be chacking this forum or my emails before the the morning the ECQ is held. So I might be kinda hard to reach. Which shouldn't be a problem since you should easily be able to reach the actual organizer, Petri -I'm just the henchman...

I'll be accepting pre-registrations until *about* 14:00 on Friday (FInnish local time), after which I'll be going offline and heading towards the Con area. If you don't receive an email confirmation from me (and/or see your name on the prereg list on the web page), assume that I didn't get it and do your best to turn up at the Con by 17:30.
