The German Nationals weekend will take place in Kassel on the 19th & 20th of June.

Saturday will have a "Warm-up" Regional. And beside the "usual" prizes, the winner will receive a Round 1 bye for the German Nationals.

The National on Sunday will be open for everybody, no preliminary qualification is necessary.

Do we need decklists for any of the two tournaments this weekend?

A decklist is required for both tournaments.

German Nationals is underway!

Sixteen players are fighting for the title, including 3 playing Klingons, 4 playing Cardassians, 1 playing Maquis and 1 playing Cardassians and Maquis.... Add in a TD (nearly) without voice and you should get an interesting tournament...

Two rounds are played. So far unbeaten: Tobias Rausmann, Tiemo Mittelstedt, Tyler Fultz, and Thorsten Wanek.
Round three will see Tobias vs. Tiemo and Tyler vs. Thorsten.
But with four more rounds to play, nothing is finalized yet. So check back to find out if players whose names do not start with a "T" will become contenders for the title of German Champion 2010!

Ha, wish I could be there. German Nationals has a strange habit of always being scheduled right before exams. Anyway, next year there won't be any exams at all, so I might actually be able to make it :)

Btw, since Nationals is today, before Regional season is over, does the Munich Regional next weekend give the winner a Round 1 Bye into Nationals 2011?

Regionals are giving Byes into Continentals not Nationals...

I know, I asked because I read on the description to yesterday's Kassel tournament that the winner of that Regional will get a Round 1 Bye for today, so I thought I might have missed something. Was that only a special prize for the Kassel Regional then?

You get me a car that can drive me from Cedar Rapids, IA to the German National Championship and I would've been there ;-)

Michael,
now two more time zones closer to Worlds than before.

Tyler and Tobias were victorious and are facing each other in round 4 in a game that could be the preliminary final.
Meanwhile last year's finalist Michael Mittelstedt is trying to recover from losses in round 1 and 2.
Tiemo Mittelstedt, Thorsten Wanek, Jens Petritzki, Kathleen Fultz, Tjark Ott, and Carsten Hartmann all have only one loss so far and are still aiming for the final.

Three more rounds (and a final) to go. Who will become German Champion 2010?

Sorry, overlooked that one. Yes, the Round 1 Bye given out yesterday was a special prize for the National Warm-Up tournament.
