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.

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.)

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!
