Hi,

I think something odd is going on with the organization of the Grand Kotei of Madrid.

Fantasy Flight Spain published a note which says that attendants to the event have the option to play in both "days 1" by paying extra 15 euros in cash in the information desks. This includes the side events (I thought the "regular" entrance grants the chance of participate in all side events) and the six rounds Swiss. This means that someone who pays extra has doble chance to classify.

Acorrding to the information published in https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/op/l5r-lcg/kotei/ I think it's not the way a Grand Kotei is meant to be organized, and I would like some clarification. Is this normal in a Grand Kotei? Has other players found themselves in similar situations? Does FFG endorse this kind of organization?

Find attached a snapshot of the note published by FFG Spain.

Thanks.

It may just be confusion as they should be holding a proving ground on Day 2 for those participants who were eliminated from Day 1, (with the option to join in midway for those who get eliminated early from the finals).

Actually, I'm afraid it's not. It's quite clear: " two chances to qualify for Day 2 and compete for victory" ("dos posibilidades de clasificarse para el día 2 y competir por la victoria"). It also affects to the statistics of the game (clan support, imperial favor, etc), one player could play one day with one clan and the next with a different one, and it would appear as two different players. It concerns me so much, because people is upset and it could means real a draw back for the community of this game in Spain.

EDIT: News. There was published a clarification post:

They won't charge extra cash (at least this time, we will see in future events). But it's intended that in Kunshu Season you can play both days
