Don't worry too much as we are not using GEMP for the scoring and we can always use the description box to ensure that we pair up correctly.

I'll make one for you guys - you can use it or not, but thought it'd be a way to 1) give out some virtual GEMP prizes to participants and 2) ensure no one accidentally puts a v-card version in their deck since the league format will = PDS2.

A UK and German Champion has been added to the list - sign-ups are open until 22:00 UTC on Monday 22nd February.

I'm afraid that this event is only open to players from the Naboo Region (United Kingdom and Ireland).

In that case I will just need your real name and possibly the name of another UK player who can confirm who you are. If this is with me by 12:00 today then I will modify the parings (basically I will assign myself the bye) so that you can play in the first game, otherwise you will be assigned the bye for the first game.

[Paul McPherson]

I've added an additional game due to two more players wishing to join.

Unfortunately Andrew Hartley has dropped from this event. Remember that you have until 22:00 on Monday to get your results to me.
