[NEW INFO] German Vintage Championships, Aug 14

[Dozer]

Since Vintage Championships seem to be all the rage, Germany will have one, too. The tournament will happen on day three of this year's Nationals, which go from August 12th to 14th. There are no details known as yet, just this snippet from the WotC Nationals page:

On day three, in addition to the TOP8, the Vintage Championship will be run as special side event.

August 14th, at the site of the German Nationals in Bonn: Be there or be square.

I'll post prize support and other details as soon as they are known.

/edit: This is most likely a sanctioned tournament, so don't expect any proxies.

Do you know what prices there gonna be ?

So the tournament is just six days away. AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY F***CKING INFORMATION! I know who is going to suffer for this... especially since Amigo hasn't even published the regular schedule. Would you believe that six days before Nationals nobody knows when the tournament will start?

I did what I could so far, scrounged some information and made some educated guesses, but please take this with a grain of salt. This is from experience and wild guesses only! I will closely monitor Amigo's website and update as soon as I can with some real information.

Ok, I just called Amigo to get some answers, so I can edit this post with some better stuff:

Registration starts on Sunday at nine a.m., the tournament is supposed to start some time between nine and ten. Entry fee will be "maybe slightly more than for a normal side event, but not much", so I expect something between 6-10 Euro. The hall opens at nine, if a pre-registration is available is unknown at this point (if any, it will likely be on site).

Prices will be an Unlimited Mox for first place (color TBA) and Foil Gemstone Mines for the T8. The tournament is sanctioned, so no proxies are allowed. I will edit in here later when I get information about K-value and if they do a cut to T8 (they better!).

Venue
Brückenforum
Friedrich Breuer Straße 17
53225 Bonn

It is near the city center, right next to the Kennedy bridge. You can find a small map and some directions (in German, though). The youth hostel is 4 km away from the city center, public transport is available.

If you want to come but don't have a car, travelling by train is generally no problem. The German Rail runs almost everywhere, and Bonn is easy to reach. I recommend that you talk to your local train company or a travel agency and see if they can sell you tickets. Otherwise, you can find the website of German rail here. Accomodation is cheapest in the Youth Hostel.

If anyone decides to come, stop by and say hello! You will find me with the coverage team most of the time, but on Sunday I will of course play in the Vintage Champs.
