Given the opening of GenCon registration, I'd like to post the VTES schedule for the Origins09 convention http://www.originsgamefair.com/ as well as a few pieces of Origins news. 1. Beginning this year, the United States VTES National Championships will be held at Origins. This year, the U.S. Championship Event will consist of a simple 3R+F Constructed event, but I am very interested in alternate formats and will likely run something else in the future. Please speak with me regarding your ideas when you see me or email me via the address given at the top of the Las Vegas WebPages in my sig. 2. White Wolf will not have a booth in the Exhibitor Hall this year. Oscar, will still be at Origins and will continue to bring VTES (and whatever other) product to sell to players at a reduced rate. Please contact Oscar before Origins and let him know what you want to buy.

According to http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Championship: "Finalists of constructed National Championship events qualify for the Continental Champions."

The U.S. National Championship event will be run as an "open" event, yes.

Can't promise attendance earlier than Friday, but I'll be there Friday/Saturday. >ORIGINS 2009 VTES SCHEDULE >============================ >Jay Kristoff's Pre-Origins:Constructed #0, 2R+F >WEDNESDAY, June 24th, ~6:00 PM >(more info to come on this event, e.g. time and place) >Constructed #1, 2R+F >THURSDAY, June 25th, 11:00 AM >Constructed #2, 2R+F >THURSDAY, June 25th, 5:00 PM >U.S. National Championship, 3R+F >FRIDAY, June 26th, 1:00 PM >North American Qualifier, 3R+F >SATURDAY, June 27th, 10:00 AM >Recursion Draft, 7 packs, 2R+F >(likely to be all KoT; possibly the next set, if it is legal in time) >SATURDAY, June 27th, 6:00 PM >Constructed #3, 2R+F >SUNDAY, June 28th, 11:00 AM http://columbusvtes.tripod.com/tournaments.htm
