Dear Methuselahs, dear organizers,
The Archon app is now the official way to handle your tournaments!
The app passed its trial by fire during the 2026 European Championship in Vilnius and is now replacing the old Excel-based tournament management system after nearly 25 years of loyal service.
Let’s take this opportunity to thank one last time those who have worked on it over the years: LSJ, Dominic Catanzariti, François Alix, Stéphane Lavrut, Jeff Thompson, Jussi Hattara, Karl Schaefer, David Tatu, Kevin Mergen, Vincent Ripoll, Pascal Bertrand, Emiliano D’Onofrio, and Lionel Panhaleux (if I’ve forgotten anyone, please raise your hand!).
It is no longer possible to create new tournaments using the old system, but tournaments that have already been created can still be finalized using the old system if necessary.
Thanks to Lionel “Phoenix” Panhaleux for his excellent work!
If you haven't reclaimed your VEKN number on the app, now is the right time!
This also means that updates to the Tournament Winning Decks (TWD) will primarily be done through the app, which will speed up the process since there should no longer be any data entry errors and the process can therefore be fully automated.
There are still a few details to finalize regarding the TWDs, which explains the delay in the update; we’ll keep you posted.
