I recently registered for the Thrones events at Gencon.

I did that here .

The thing I noticed is how few seats are left in each event! The Warmup event only had 12 seats left, the Melee Championship only had 10 and the Joust Championship only had 17 left.

While it is very hard for me to imagine FFG turning people away who want to play, seating space could force their hand.

So I ask that if you are going to Gencon, please preregister for the Thrones events. That way if we fill up the events, FFG can increase the maximum number of players and hopefully ensure that Gencon gives them ample seating for our expected large group of players. I don't want to see anyone who would like to play Thrones get turned away.

Done and Done. I did this last night at the behest of my buddy Longlcaw. Had to make sure that I'll have a spot in the tournaments. I would definitely make sure that if you are coming and want to play then pre-register just in case.

Sorry guys. I am not going to be able to make it to Gencon afterall. I am going to New Jersey for my cousins wedding in July, and that's pretty much taking up my whole budget. Hope you all have a blast.

Why are there so few seats for Hand of the King tourney? It was like a dozen or so and it's already full. There's not many for the warm up either. Sad panda.

By posting this here, we can make sure everyone preregisters, and then when all the spots get filled, we have the ammunition to ask FFG to increase maximum sizing, and then FFG has the ammunition to request more table space seating from Gencon.

Yes the hand of the king being sold out already makes me sad. Thier are two of us coming down from Canada and we both want to play in the hand of the king. I have pre-registered for all the other tournies now, all i can do is hope they take some more that day or open more spots.....

I've already sent a request to FFG asking them to increase the size of the Hand of the King tourney. As for you that want to play, as I said at the beginning of this thread, I have never seen FFG turn people down who want to play. One way or the other, this will get figured out.

I'm thinking about preregistereing. I had preregistered for LCG Days and had to cancel, so I don't want to lose any unnecessary money again.

as of yesterday afternoon 7 spots in melee and 14 in the joust.

i am thoroughly impressed that this community can actually get people to pre-register for anything. CCG players are traditionally the absolute worst at that sort of thing.

This is definitely one of the best communities of gamers out there!

And those numbers have dropped to 6 for melee and 11 for Joust left available.

and now 1 less for each Thanks for the warning Dobbler! I look forward to seeing you all again in August.

Dobbler think you could post the actual days/times information in here? I know GenCon is 4-7th but I am trying to figure out just what days/times the Thrones events are, since that is all I would be coming down from Canada for.

your crazy to drive that. hit me up at GenCon first beer is on me..for you driving so long.

Just a bump, trying to keep it near the top

Not much reason to keep it near the top now - Gencon preregistration is over.

There is still much reason to keep it at the top. Just because preregistration is over doesn't mean you can't register for Gencon and events (which you can). You just don't get the discount price on the badge.

plus it will be good since their is 1 spot left in melee that people will still see this thread and know they can play....hopefully FFG can get the limit raised officially.

Actually, that has been dropped to 0, which I hope spurs on the size increase even faster.

There are currently 49 people registered for the Joust Championships and 40 registered for the Melee Championships.

Dobbler said:

Fair enough - I didn't realize that you could actually still register for events after prereg ended.

The maximum numbers have been increased on the Joust and Melee championships and the Sunday Hand of the King tournament.

The hand of the king event has already lost a bunch of seats two from me alone.

Just a bump so people keep preregistering
