* Trial takes place between Feb., 1st and Mar., 20th
* respect magicplayer.org rules entirely

Price:

* First round bye for each winner, if

* there have been at least 8 participants
* final standings have been posted in this thread till Mar., 21th
* TO have sent me name + adress of the winner who receives a bye at GP 8

Maybe there will be an Online GP Trial too.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

I dont know if I like the idea to get byes for this event. It was very akward on the last HLGP where people could easily collect byes and other ppl werent able to achieve such things because there was no place which held any "Highlander Challenges" in the region and besides that, THis is not a pro event, so its not necessary that ppl can avoid homebrews or whatever the reason is behind the "bye".

I guess the real purpose is to promote the event. Trial tournament does a pretty good job making the main event more recognized, and one bye isn't a significant edge.

Exactly!
It is just for promotion reasons and an incentive for TO who support our format like the stores in Mannheim, Frankfurt, Würzburg ...
One bye won't make the difference in the end but on the other hand it's still a nice benefit for the winner.
Maybe it's even a little stimulation to join our event for guys who has a longer way to come (at least if they have won a bye).

Btw. You don't have to be a shop owner to arrange a Trial, so if you guys in Berlin wanna have one...it's your turn.

I definitly will try to establish a trial in Würzburg, hopefully I will get this managed in this timeframe. Is it possible
to extend the timeframe to 20. of march cause otherwise we have only about 4-5 weeks to prepare the event and we have
to book the location etc. as we are no shop and I organize them by my own.
The only possible dates are 5./6. or 12./13. were the second is the mannheim tournament and the first is really nearby.
Otherwise I think I will try to establish one on 6.
By the way if you need help with online trial or GP preparation just let me know.

So the Trial in Würzburg will be on 2011-03-20 and I will provide you the standings directly after the tournament.
Got reply from my location yesterday. Can you give me ok for that?

Maggot · 04-02-2011, 09:51:26 PM

Is it possible to have two trials in Berlin, since we have to shops wich support the Highlander format?

@ Vazdru

Olli from WizardsWell in Mannheim will make a trial. He think it will be on Saturday the 12th in March.

I will give him the link form this page, can you write with him? wizwell@web.de

Thank you and best regards,

Kavu

We were able to organize three GP Trials:

Tue., Feb. 22nd, 19:00, Lebowski, Niederbarnimstraße 23, 10247 Berlin

Wed., Feb. 23rd, 16:00, Funtainment Games Center, Revaler Str. 1, 10243 Berlin

Thu., Feb. 24th, 16:00, Der Andere Spieleladen, Prenzlauer Allee 192, 10405 Berlin

The two shops are Game stores in Berlin, Lebowski is the Bar were we have our "Stammtisch", all three locations support our format and appeal to a different player base.

I hope that we can run this "Trialathlon".

Regards

Maggot

Sounds good to me. I will post the events on our main page.

A few questions/requests:
* how many player-slots do the locations grant?
* can you plz give me a contact adress (e-mail) in case any questions occur - you may use your own one for all three events if you like
* how much is the starting fee for each of the events?

Plz make sure the results (final standings) will be published in this thread in time. A short report would be nice but isn't required.

I have a question regarding the trials. How many trials are we allowed to organize ? Because we held one yesterday (which I´ve won

) but the two on tuesday and wednesday didn´t took place because most of the player couldn´t participate.

So my plan would be to set at least two new trials on the comming thursdays and maybe one on a weekend (which would allow people who have to work to participate).

Maggot will confirm the standings from yesterday later.
