Quick heads-up for long-term planning:

The most likely date for Kaiserfest Seeechs! is the weekend around Saturday, August 12, 2023. I would love to avoid a direct scheduling conflict with other high-profile events, but probably won't be too flexible next summer, so it might have to be Aug 12 or nothing.

I'm posting this so early mainly because I won't be able to offer a guest room next year; there will be enough floor space/couch space/mattresses for the usual 3-5 suspects to crash, but if you're looking for a proper room without the delights that only sharing space with other gamers can offer, you might want to look for a hotel room early ;)

Quick heads-up: since enough people have indicated that the suggested date will probably work for them, this event is now confirmed for Saturday, August 12th, 2023.
Right now the list of pre-registrations has 10 people from four countries, so even if it doesn't work out for some of us after all, there should be enough players to make the trip worth your while.

As always, Friday will serve as warm-up event, whether that's some form of 1E (OTSD, Cube Draft, Sealed, Constructed) or other entertainment (board games, darts, etc) is entirely up to player demand.

It'll probably serve as Nationals again if OP (@LORE ) is ok with that.

It’s the most logical venue for Continentals, given the level of interest

I am fine with whatever label Jules and the players agree upon. I trust Johannes and Jules completely in this regard.

We're six months away, so here's a quick update:

I should be able to offer some space for people to crash again. How much exactly I cannot say yet (hopefully at least 2 beds and 2 couches), because a lot depends on whether the contractors will be finished with everything we're trying to have done by then. Given recent experiences I fear they won't, which means less room to crash downstairs, and there is also a small chance that we might not be able play outside on the deck and use the pool.

Apart from that, expect more of the same:
- warm-up event on Friday (with option to run a learn-to-play event in case anyone's interested ), format: players' choice (Sealed, Draft, OTF, whatever)
- main event OTF Saturday around noon
- Warp Speed Cube Draft Saturday night

Prize support will include the usual goodies, details too come in the following weeks. I'm planning to include personnel promo cards of non-winners in this year's packs. If you would like to find your face on one of these promos, send me a pic, ideally one in a STCCG setting. (If you don't, I will find one anyway and do my absolute worst ;) ).

Can you make it official?

Or who does have to do it?

All events are now appropriately tagged as Continental or Continental side event. I have also asked the Mods to move this thread to the correct Organized Play subforum. Best of luck!

P.S. Not sure there were any photos taken last weekend, but I rocked my Kaiserfest shirt on route to Regional glory in South Dakota. :wink:
