My dear local organizers in Europe!

To follow the tradition I've started last year I would like to open up this thread to coordinate next year's high level events in Europe.

As last year this thread will only cover up Masters, Nationals, Continentals and Worlds.

My goal would be to have at least as many high level events in 2019 as we've had in 2018.

Some dates to remeber:

We've had 4 1E Nationals and a 1E Master event. We've had 3 2E Nationals and last but not least 2 Tribbles Nationals (with another announced one in Sweden, but this one had to be cancelled). And of course we had Continentals for all three games in Kassel.

Those countries have participated in organizing high level events 2018: Sweden, Germany, UK, Austria.

To make something clear once again: Europe will only have one Masters for each game in a year. With Nationals being almost the same, and having a lot of Nations in Europe compared to the US, it is just fair that we "switch the sides" here. The US can only have one National event per year, to equalize that Europe will only have one Master event per game.

Please start planning your next year's high level events, please post your plans here or send me a message. I especially encourage the European player groups without any high level events in 2018 to send me a message if I could be of any help to organize something. I have proven last year with 1E Nationals in Sweden for example, that you don't need a big local playgroup or a lot of local tournaments to get a high level event; each and everyone can try it our once. Of course, if a high level event in a location turns our to be a complete failure, it probably won't happen again there, but to stay with my example Sweden: the event was a success, everyone has had a lot of fun, so most likely there will be another Swedish Nationals in 2019 (if Jörn wants to ).

Especially with World coming to Europe in 2019 it should be possible to encourage new players or to reactivate players who have quit some time ago. If you need any help in this matter, please feel free to contact me as well.

And finally, here is what we already have:

*) May 5th: 2E & Tribbles Austrian Nationals @ Vienna (2E: https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... ntID=11009, Tri: https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... ntID=11010)

*) July 6th: 1E German Nationals @ Kaiserfest II (https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... ntID=10733)
*) August 8th-11th: World Championships @ Vienna, Austria
*) November 2nd: 2E & Tribbles European Masters 2019 @ Koblenz, Germany (https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... ntID=11181, https://www.trekcc.org/tournament/index ... ntID=11183

*) December 8th: 2E British Nationals @ Cambridge



PS: Dates in BOLD are final, all others are in debate

UK 1E Nationals will likely be early November. Probably Saturday 2nd/9th/16th - I want to avoid clashing with TCM3 so Niall can attend both and I’m planning to visit the US around Thanksgiving.

I would like to do Kaiserfest II: Tagline tbd on Saturday, July 6th.

@ Kaiser: I'm completely fine with that date for German Nationals, from my point of view we can finalize this date...

Let's do this then.

You both have my full support. Now, how much is airfare to Germany again... ?

We'd like 2E/Tr German Nationals to return to Kassel next year although not on it's traditional late June date.
With Euros and Kaiserfest being in late June/early July we'd like to move the date away from those to not collide with them or have people pick one over another.
We're still debating but we're currently looking at a mid/late May date.

The proper use of the pool, a good liver, and the ability to use Herschey's Tent properly should do it

I would suggest to add early May to the discussion as well. For me Kassel as being 2018's host of Continentals, Nationals in 2E and Tribbles are the perfect choice for me...

Update: UK 1E Nationals 2019 will be Saturday 16th November

I would love to see Nederland Nationals in Amsterdam 2019.
Logistically it is by far the best spot in Europe. Anyone??

There are no active players anymore Auwerds last tounament was 2017-05-27 both 1st and 2nd.

Hello all,

2E UK Nationals would likely be on Sunday 8 December in Cambridge. Unless there is a major change in plans.

Thanks
