Unfortunately, closed to everyone not living in Germany, Austria or Switzerland for one year or longer.
Can we also post the prizes for the Nationals, could be useful? For example I know some nationals did not have a Worlds entry ticket or bye for the winner and most nationals do not offer the full worlds trip. Knowing which do offer the full trip, or entry and bye, or none of them is somewhat important for travellers I think.
This is the Modena Play event: Android: Netrunner - Torneo del Modena PLAY
The Modena Play is the second largest tournament (in terms of participants) in Italy after the National, and it gives a bye for the National.
In the event description it says: “In aggiunta al materiale promozionale, comunque, il primo classificato si aggiudicherà anche un bye valido per il primo turno di svizzera del nazionale italiano di Android: Netrunner, che si svolgerà il 3-4 settembre, come già annunciato da Giochi Uniti.”
Which roughly means:
In addition to the promo prizes, the player who wins tournament will get a bye valid for the first swiss round of the Italian National which will take place on 3rd-4th September, as previously announced by Giochi Uniti (the italian distributor)
There is an unwritten tradition that Polish Nationals are on the last weekend of August, (which would be 27th-28th this year) in Warsaw. You will have to wait a few months for an official annoucement, but I’m 80% sure it will be the same this year.
The Belgian National will be held in Liège (100% certainty), will be a 2 days event (75% certainty), probably late september (25% certainty). That’s all the news I’ve got.
No date for the Finnish Nationals yet either. We have the latter of our two Regionals at the end of July, so Nationals will probably be at least a month after that, possibly more.
The Nordic Championship will be in Stockholm 24-25:th septemberat the Ericsson Globe area. Tickets will go out the upcoming week.
It will be a combined event for A Game of Thrones, Warhammer: Conquest and Android: Netrunner.
Like previous years, we will have Flight & Accomodation (as well as entry and ticket for Netrunner) at Worlds for the winner and don’t have any limitations of who can win that prize.
Very likely for AGoT. For Conquest there might be some kind of travel stipend, but probably not full F&A unless there is a significant increase in participants from last year.
Bergsala Enigma (the distributor) has only said that they will at least send Netrunner and X-Wing champs so far.
The organizers (me & Andreas that’s managing AGoT) are aiming for at least flight and entry tickets as prize for Thrones, but cannot promise anything until we have finalized the venue and know our budget.
