European Nationals 2016 thread

There is very little actual info here still. A few exact dates, no info on caps, no info on prizes and eligibility, no info on price. Does UK give out flight or something over the kit?

Also would still be good to have all info in one post updated for overview.

Anyone from any nation can win the worlds package.

@rojazu can you update OP?

There still doesn’t seem to be a consensus on whether there will be a Baltic Nationals or not. :confused:

Who do I have to wrestle to get a consensus?

I know we missed Euro 2016, we do have a Dutch Nationals… Right? :scream:

Dutch Nationals have been confirmed! Not much more info than that so far though, other than an announcement coming “soon”

That sounds very Dutch indeed!

Is there any other info available? I have that weekend free and I’m researching possibilities to go to one of those events, so would be nice to at least know the city and start/end time.

You have all info here (it’s in spanish btw)

2 days tourney, saturday 24, full swiss, top 8 sunday morning. They do the event in Madrid, in a centric venue, with very good connections and tons of places for staying. Very cool place, full of clubs and pubs, well played by Edge this time.

25 bucks entry fee (ugh!) and trip is only aviable for spanish people :frowning:

There was a mix-up with the suppliers and we’re not even going to have a Regionals. The Nationals, however, we’re still not sure about.

Czech and Slovak Nationals 2016:

September 10/11, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Info and Sign-ups here. As is customary, social evening on Saturday after Swiss. Looking forward to meeting some new awesome friends, just like last year!

We’re poor so we’re not giving away plane tickets, but winner gets the seat no matter which country they hail from!

Any other questions, ask away :slight_smile:

Regarding slovakion nationals:
Will the swiss rounds and top cut be determined in accordance with the official ffg rules or will it be top 16 like last year?

Depends on the number of players participating and regional superbyes being used, but honestly - the “Advanced Structure” chart from Tournament Regulations 1.1.3 strikes me as reasonable right now. Am planning to test it out at Regionals on the 30th, we’ll see how it goes.

Hmm, with this dates there are actual possibility that I’ll visit you one more time. Hope you wouldn’t mind :wink:

The sign up form is that way :stuck_out_tongue:
