Hey,

On the FFG page about the tournaments, you can read international events will be coming soon.

Does anyone have any idea when?

FFG are only the distributor for North America, so they dont cover tournaments outside that country.

For the UK it is Esvedium, with Euros this year in the UK - 01/06/2018 - Birmingham, NEC, European Championships

The Belgium distributor is:

ugh, that sounds frustrating. Are you guys concerned it's going to be even crazier once brexit actually happens, like "will i need a passport to go across the chunnel"?

What? Are you shocked that different countries have different retailers? Europe isnt a country, brexit wont make a blind bit of difference.

You don't think it'll be more difficult to go into and out of the UK for tournaments?

Yes. We are all going to start carrying guns, driving chevvies and blockading the border.

You know you need a passport to cross the channel now right?

But... The speech... I didn't think it was only for Ireland...

On the bright side, I'm keeping all rights after all, so Brexit is not that much of a wreck for me!

I thought you could travel anywhere in the EU w/out a passport?

Edit: Nope, google tells me that you still need a passport to go between EU countries. Blah.

No, you just get in quicker, don't need to declare why you're coming, it's a quick pass, whereas if you are coming from brazil for example, you need to take the international queue, takes a **** of a lot longer.

Also, I get the guns bit (we have a problem, but "always doing the right thing after trying everything else" is our standard) but is "driving chevvies" a real stereotype other nations have of the US? Like, what a weird negative impression.

Todays going to be filled with "Today I learned"s.

European Championship on UK are going to be fun.

Of course it doesn't mean anything cause Europe is not EU but is still ironic.

I put the same amount of effort into that post as you did in yours....

Lol

EU is going to be a more friendly place when you are gone.

It will also be more boring though.

You might be thinking of the Schengen Area.

Alright, so I'm not crazy it's just the UK being typically British where they never wanted to officially join the EU. I'm, very clearly, American so I just assumed more uniformity in the boarder laws(which is doubly bad seeing as my degree is in Poli Sci).

Remember the British newspaper headline in the 1920s....

"Storm in the Channel. Europe isolated."

Hey, I'm American and know this stuff. Ireland is also not part of the Schengen zone, but some non-EU countries are part of Schengen.

Further, it's 'border'. A 'boarder' is someone who pays you to stay at your house. It's a very common mistake

Sorry, I'm tired and just feeling pedantic. Many Europeans don't know this stuff either and feel rejectionist because they don't have a flippin' clue. When Brexit finally does happen, the British are going to have a very rude wakeup call.

Not all British though, but some definitely. Its wierd. The vote was roughly 50/50, with a disturbingly large amount of leave votes from people who understand the consequences but think it will be worth the pain in the long run, note that mostly pensioners did this.

And then yes, an even more disturbing amount of people who dont understand what they voted for.

Bias in this post is all mine.

Norway is not EU, but it's within Schengen.

I would think, it won't have much of an impact to crossing the channel for members of the EU and GB. Nobody will try to build up barriers for tourists. But it will become harder and much more complicate to come to the opposite side of the channel for work or for university. And it will effect business. When GB doesn't accept EU standards there must be controls and costums regulations. Switzerland isn't part of the EU. They hold up their independence and neutrality. But they had to accept all EU standards and rules, because it would have been to expensive for them not to do.

I don't envy Mrs. May the challange she has to face. Every decision will be the false one. And it makes me sad that all this mess is completly useless. Noone will be better off after brexit.

Honestly, that's a pretty low bar.

Indeed. Switzerland and Iceland are other examples.

Well, that's democracy for you. The worst political system except for all the others. While I think that Leave is a tremendous mistake, I think it would be a worse mistake for the elites to overturn the result without which British public opinion is also changed on the matter. Thus far, it does not appear that the British people have really changed their minds. A legitimate political system is the most important thing, and the peoples of Western democracies seem to have lost faith in many of their political systems. A large part of that is because the economies have been allowed to become skewed against most peoples' interests.

Of course, if the UK ever does change its mind and decides to rejoin, it will not be allowed to enter back in with the favorable conditions that it had already been in (e.g. permanent opt-outs and the Thatcher rebate).

Agreed.

But the British political system is old enough to make its own mistakes. Thankfully, the rest of the Union has the opportunity to learn from its example. The question, however, is: will it?

Anyway, we're straying pretty far from Armada. It's pretty ironic that European championships were in the UK this year.
