***Registration fee***

35 Euros/Swiss Francs, include the following:

- basic registration and contribution to prize pool
- breakfast upon arrival on Sunday (coffee, juice, croissants, etc)
- lunch (pizzas from an italian pizzeria and soft drinks)
- dinner (BBQ and drinks such as beer and soft drinks; those of you who know me well know that I am of Argentine descent, my brother and I will cook for everyone at dawn, it will be worth your while!)
- some light snacking and coffee input will be available all day too, bleeding and being bled can be such a drain!

As I mentioned before, the money will be spent wisely. If you have dietary restrictions or strong preference, please let me know ASAP ( and here:).

The combined spending is considerable and I am not your typical swiss banker, so I'd appreciate payment upfront, with twint: +41 76 693 69 85. Be sure to mention your name so that I know what the payment is for.
If you dont have twint, please send me an email and I will provide my bank information for a transfer.
Naturally, you can also pay cash, here, but if most people do that, I will be in trouble #notaventrue!

We look forward to sharing a drink and some vtes-related laughs

Cheers,
Pablo, prince of Geneva, Switzerland
PS: Our local vtes legend Ruben Feldman (aka the GOAT) will do us the honor of his presence, and, let's face it, his dominate too.
PSII: Casual warmup games can be organized the day before(Saturday the 1rst, that is). Several players indicated not coming in until Saturday night, such that it didnt make sense to have a warm up tournament, and I like sense just as much as the next guy.)

Hey great !

I'll be there .

Great to hear that there's some activity in Switzerland again! I am planning to join, my name is Sven Helmer, my vekn number is #8450009 (contrary to the info in the player registry, I am located in Zurich now).

I am running a demo session here in Zurich, will post it in a separate thread (in case anyone wants to pass the information on). Depending on how well this works out, you may hear more from Zurich. Let's see if we can plunge Switzerland into darkness again.

Cheers,
Sven

I'm in
