I posted this in another thread. Also putting it here in case you missed it:
===================================================================
This years ALBANY will be bigger and stronger than ever!

Here's how:

We added an extra day to this year's event. What does this mean to you?

Maximum flexibility!

We added an extra round so that we can accommodate more players.

We added longer rounds so players can play larger scenarios if they like.

Don't want to play something that big / Can't make it until Friday?
We will have a pool of smaller scenarios available to allow you to "catch up".

And how about this:

On Saturday and Sunday we will be running the Gor-Gor Heretical Mini.
This mini has been run every year at ASLOK since 2009 .

What is this?

It is ASL with one additional page of SSRs that "fix" some of ASL's gamey or ahistorical rules
and/or just add some cool flavor. It is kept at a single sheet to keep it from overwhelming the players.
SSRs are attached below.

If you find yourself out of the running for the wood or want to try something different...here it is.
The winner will receive a handcrafted item from Gor-Gor's workshop and/or some other game
related booty.

A note about experience level:

Albany has historically featured expert play. ( Indeed, we have drawn top players from all over the world.
Given the added day, we expect that trend to continue ). However, the last few years we've also had
relatively new players join the ranks. We've been able to match up less experienced players and make
sure they have fun, competitive matches.

So as you can see, ALBANY truly has something for everyone!

So don't fear the tournament setting. Embrace it at ALBANY.

This year's event will be EPIC! See you in December (December 1st-4th to be specific)...

Steve

Registration on the way to Joe. I'm shocked that there is no PayPal option. Even the Luddite TD for the Bitter Ender now has PayPal :laugh:

Pay Pal for Albany IS available. Send $50...making sure that NO fees are removed
for any reason ( many people use the "send money to relatives/friends option)
There's no reason to make any mention of tournament registration on PayPal. Make payment to
asl726@aol.com
Thanks!
See you in a few months!

Slacker :laugh: . I think I'm going to bring my referee uniform this year. I'm getting a matching one for Stanlito. Bob told me you are making him the official mascot of NYSASL Championships.

Stanledo is a nice dog. However, if there is a NYSASL Championship mascot it will be Suki. She is winter friendly and pre-approved by Mr Trezza...

It's just too easy Gary :laugh:

I feel your pain about producing a good scenario list. You put in MUCH more work than me when I'm doing it for the Bitter Ender. Being a TD is generally a thankless job and few understand what it take behind the scenes to run an event. I really appreciate the time you, Joe, and Steve take putting on this first rate tournament.

ALBANY SCENARIO LIST will be complete and posted the week of
JULY 25th. We are still in the process of playing the scenarios
and having the scenario list up to Albany standards.

The FIRST Round middle of the day scenarios have been
changed to a 2PM start time if you want to play either
of the two superb but long play scenarios.
