The U.S. National Championship - New Orleans, LA - September 17

The U.S. National Championship will be held in New Orleans, LA on September 17th 2011 at 12 noon at the Hotel Monteleone. It will consist of 3 rounds and a final. Each of the preliminary rounds will have a 2 hour time limit. The Finals will have no time limit.

The event will run concurrently with the Grand Masquerade in New Orleans so there will be plenty of sights and sounds to experience culminating in a fantastic festival Saturday night.

We will also run a draft on Sunday.

I hope everyone can make it. Everyone who does will have a good time with much merriment.

We will be having a draft on Sunday at noon. I will be a good time to shake off the cobwebs from Saturday Night's Bacchanalian.

Just 5 weeks left to make arrangements to attend the US National Championship in New Orleans

The event listing on the web site doesn't appear to have been updated yet; is there a qualifying event being held at GM, or some other constructed tournament that can be entered at will?

The US National Championship is an 'open' event.
All players that attend will play.

Qualifying is not required.
