***Registration fee***

TBD! This fee will probably be a simple projection of the costs of food and drinks for the evening and the coffee breaks. I expect it to be very reasonable, and if a player really can't afford it, we'd try to arrange something.

*** Pre-registration ***

Pre-registration is key to any healthy event planning. If you intend to participate, please sign up as soon as possible by replying to this thread (with your name and VEKN number) or by emailing me at with your information.

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
