The 2003 V:TES North American Championship will be held at Gen*Con Indy on Saturday, July 26, from 10am to 7pm. The final North American qualifier will be at Gen*Con Indy on Friday, July 25, from 10am to 7pm. I'll also be running two Rapid Thought tournaments (same format as last year), one on Thursday from 12:30pm to 2:30pm and one on Sunday from 8am to 10am. And there will be two formalized demo sessions on Thursday, one from 10am to 12noon and the other from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.

Forgive me if I'm being dense but could somebody tell me if there's a difference between GenCon and GenCon Indy? Was it always GenCon Indy or is someone out there changing the name just to confuse me. It appears from the site that GenCon Indy is what used to simply be referred to as GenCon, is this true? Whats the story cause if I happen to manage it I'ld hate to go to the wrong event ;) Thanks, -JTP "LSJ" <vte...@white-wolf.com> wrote in message news:3E494033...@white-wolf.com...

It appears from the site that GenCon Indy > is what used to simply be referred to as GenCon, is this true? Yes, that's right. GenCon has moved for the first time, in, uh, I don't know how long but a long time. It was in Milwaukee for many many years, but this year it is in Indianapolis instead. I think the organizers are calling it GenCon Indy to differentiate it from the spinoff GenCons that they've been creating: there's going to apparently be a GenCon SoCal in southern California somewhere in late 2003, and of course there's GenCon Europe, and so on. Anyway - GenCon Indy is the place to be. There is no GenCon but Indy GenCon, for it is the one true GenCon. At least, it'll probably be the only one for me. :-) Josh indy 2500?

If you qualify in *any* qualifier (European, North American, Australian, or South American), you can play in *any* Championship (subject to your ability to travel, of course). Also, the finalists from the 2002 Championships automatically qualify for all 2003 Championships. If you aren't already qualified by the time you get to Gen*Con Indy, there's always the Friday qualifier. [ quoted text not captured ]

Apparently our Euro Qualifier is in September/October time, presumably this means we'll ALL have to try and qualify on the Friday, or will last years qualifiers count? Marty

Last year's qualifiers don't count for this year. Last year's championships do (the finalists from last year's championships are qualified for this year). You can always try one of the other Euro qualifiers as well, if you're looking to increase your odds. [ quoted text not captured ]

Would love to. Unfortunately, the trip to come and see you guys is taking my expendable income for a bit - guess I'll just have to make a killer deck and try really hard. Failing that, I could try begging and/or bribing... :) Marty I'm not proud
