US Nationals Pickem

So this is GenCon week. The US National event is scheduled to happen, and at this point there is exactly one person registered.

That makes pickem a bit hard, but we'll go with it anyway.

Same as before, pick a winner and a most improved rating

At this point, I'm going with MVB for both because I at least know he'll be there and at this point he may need to play to get the thing sanctioned.

If anybody has any intel about any run-ins, now's the time to take advantage of that info! Good luck all!

I'm going to guess that @The Guardian will be in attendance, based on past years. Basing thing on past years, I suspect that @clonedwhyme and @grendelX may also attend. They often come and don't preregister.

I'll still put my money on @rycar60.

I could say who's paid for specific event tickets but that would be cheating.

Intriguing.

Actually, that would make this silly game a lot more fun than it currently is, but that's your decision.

Michael is truly a gentleman, a backbone of Trek. It is always a pleasure facing him. He even tells me my cards before I know them :) . But since I want to win this guessing game, I will go with The Guardian. Richard New.

I do often forget to register and I do love GenCon for all of the other games that I get to explore, but I won’t be going this year. I figured that I wouldn’t burden my wife with the kids for two extended weekends, so I had to pick GenCon or Worlds. And Chicago sounded like fun. (Plus, I’m going to chow down on some deep dish at some point.)

Any updates from Gencon? Did this thing sanction? @The Ninja Scot ?

It did sanction. I won despite losing my second game against Tony.

I just posted the results now.

Thanks for the update, MVB.

I get a point for picking the winner, but Tony walks away with a whopping +42 rating gain thanks to that big upset win.

I think that puts me and @Danny at 1 point apiece heading into Worlds Weekend.

Stay tuned for more, coming up in a few weeks!
