BSW is hosting an olympic-style tournament again this year, with 52 different events taking place, called the BSW Games (BSW Spiele). In the past, they have given out board game prizes to all medalists; I don't see this being advertised anywhere, yet. I'll update when I find out if it is happening this year.
Please review the following pages:
HomepageRules for participants -
Important!Overview of tournaments, including times and modesYour mayor needs to sign you up for any events you wish to play in, so please post in this thread with the events you wish to sign up for. We can have 3 participants in each tournament*, and one team in each team-tournament. If more people sign up for a tournament, we will need to run some qualifying games, so please sign up by February 7. After that date, any event that is full will be closed to new entrants (though, feel free to sign up for one anyway; someone may withdraw). The final deadline for signing up is February 24; please note that if you wait until the last minute, I may not see the message in time to sign you up on the BSW website. So, don't wait until the last minute.
Some events may require preliminary qualification; these will run between March 3 and March 23. For fixed events they should be on the same day of the week as the actual tournament.
IMPORTANT: All times listed will be CET; that is the time in Germany. Note that Daylight Saving Time in the US begins on March 9, but in Europe begins on March 30. So CET is EST+5 between March 9 and March 29, and EST+6 on other dates. Make sure you know when the events are in your own time zone. If you need to set an appointment with another player, it is usually best to convert all times to CET.
* the following players may play in the following tournaments without using up one of our three spots. They receive their own spot for winning a medal in that tournament last year: Aethador - San Juan, Raphaell - Bluff, Jonathan - Tierischer 6er, KuK, Saint Petersburg
