[gbartlett2001]

Face-to-face ASL play resumes in August at the premier ASL event in Atlanta.

This year we will be returning to the beautiful Marriott Atlanta Northeast / Emory Area which is located just off Interstate 85 at Clairmont Road.

We have a discounted room block available for $145 + taxes/fees. There is also a daily parking fee at the hotel. You can use the following link to register for a room – if you call the hotel mention our event name which is Boardgame Tournament.

The tournament will run 4 days, Thursday through Sunday.

The action begins on Thursday with a special first round that features larger scenarios from the recently released Twilight of the Reich module. Those participants arriving on Thursday before 2 pm can optionally participate in this round. The winners of this round will enter the main event Friday morning with a 1-0 record and play another large Twilight of the Reich scenario on Friday as their second-round match. If you participate in the special first round on Thursday and lose, then you will enter the tournament on Friday morning without any losses and complete two rounds on Friday.

Those who can’t make it until Friday morning will also enter the tournament at that time and complete two rounds on Friday.

Please be aware that this special format means that someone that you defeat on Thursday may end up winning the tourney, perhaps even beating you in a subsequent round, if this is too much to handle then please don't participate in the special Thursday round as it is 100% optional.

Open ASL gaming is always available on Thursday as well.

Depending upon numbers the main event will be either 4 or 5 rounds and finish on Saturday or Sunday. There will also be several mini-events including the soon-to-be classic “No Brothers, No Friends” 3-player scenario from Twilight of the Reich on Saturday.

Admission Fees are $50 before July 1st $60 after July 1st and $30 for single-day attendance

We have the room all day Sunday so I am hoping folks will plan to stay and game on Sunday as well.

I look forward to seeing all of my old and new ASL buddies in Atlanta this Summer.

So nine players, three games of "No Brothers, No Friends" on Saturday and the three winners of those games play a final game on Sunday?

Actually the mini for this will be a single round - where three players complete a single game. It’s a fairly large scenario so likely will take most of the day on Saturday.

Is the large ToTR scenario mandatory for everyone in the Friday first round?
Is there a mandatory scenario list to choose from, or is it open format?

No, the large TotR scenario is only mandatory for those who opt into the special TotR Round 1 on Thursday afternoon and win that round. Those players will play another large scenario on Friday as their Round 2 game. Folks who are not interested in any of this will play two rounds on Friday using scenarios that will be published at a later date. In years past we have published the list 30 days prior to the beginning of the event.

I'm hoping to maybe bring along 1-2 folks plus myself but they will be relative newbies - is there any scheduled ASLSK action planned?

We can have a SK event based upon interest. Gary
