VEKN Tournament Rules 2009? (LSJ/Oscar)

Since the end of 2008 is less than week away, I would like to know if there are any changes in the VEKN tournament rules for 2009. Putting the link to the current VEKN tournament rules (http:// www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=veknRules) in the sidebar of the official VtES Website ("http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes") instead on the subpage of event information (http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/ index.php?line=events) would also help to find the tournament rules better. The link to the rating system deserved a link on the sidebar, why not the VEKN tournament rules? Regards, Ralf ==================== http://extrala.blogspot.com

[ quoted text not captured ] Me too, i wonder if we'll get news about this in time best Emiliano, NC Italy www.italybynight.org

[ quoted text not captured ] If you mean in time for the Jan 1st announcement, that still has 3 days left. If you mean a pre-announcement announcement of rules changes, I'm just wondering how pre-pre-pre-pre you need the announcements? For instance, maybe LSJ could announce on Jan 1 2009 that there will be rules tweaks announced on Jan 1 2010? In regards to the web page design, I think everyone, even probably the WW/CCP employee responsible for the web content would agree that the VTES page needs a tune-up, if not a complete overhaul. But that might require time and money, and it works "o.k." now, so why fix what isn't terribly broke? best - chris

This year the announcement of the new VEKN tournament rules are little late, considering that there are tournaments in the WW event calendar for Jan 2nd, 3rd and 4th and Oscar's announcement that most of the WW staff will be back at Jan 5th.

Most of our staff is on vacation till the 5th, however. If this is intended to go into effect on the 1st, is there a reason we haven't been given the changes in advance? That's happened with other recent changes. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR. EBD690ECD7A1FB457CA2 NO-ONE IS SCREAMING. 13D7E668C3695D623D5D THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

Changes from the 2008 rules: 2.9 Ousted players are not eligible to serve as judges at their tables in a multi-judge event. That is all.

Evenly pour the kernels in. Wait until the sound declines to almost nothing. Salt, or sugar, as you prefer. Popcorn!

Should't the "V:TES Official Clarifications, Rulings, and Errata" be updated? For example, related with Dragos and Terror frenzy, it still states that: {Dragos: If Dragos's opponent plays superior Terror Frenzy, Dragos has to burn one blood for each combat card he plays in that combat. [LSJ 19990223] } And since {Terror Frenzy: Superior Terror Frenzy affects card costs. [LSJ 20070829] } Dragos no longer (again) has to pay the combat cards cost or additional card costs... thanks Prince of Lisbon

[ quoted text not captured ] I'm not sure how that relates to the quoted text or to this thread, but yes. I'll remove the obsolete ruling above. Let me know if you find any other obsolete rulings there.
