Hell yea. Let's take a rowboat though, planes are too expensive.

Team L.A. will be there, expect some ownage.
And I would LOVE to see some states-sourcer there, we could make some drinking-roadtrip through frankfurt.

Done.

The reason were problems with getting the event sanctioned.

WoOt? I´ll be there, for sure!

I'll see if I can get my team to come here :cool:

The homepage of German Magic is now online. Opening post updated.

Keep me updated on that. Otherwise I'll see whether I can go to the Netherlands some day. Didn't you guys had very big events in Utrecht? What happened to them?

There's a big one coming in Maastricht, October 25th. Also, Dutch Legacy Champs in Zwolle November 15th.

Oh, and while I'm promoting tournaments, I might as well mention my own: The ADHD Team Challenge in Amsterdam on November 8th (it would be nice to add Team SPOD to the list).

Edit: I'm maintaining the tournament-agenda on BeNeLegacy. Clicky. You can see for yourself. Most of it is in Dutch though, so if you have any questions regarding a tournament you can PM me.

Question; Is there a top 8 play-off? I can't find any information concerning the number of rounds and the type of tournament (modified swiss, swiss+1, single/double elimination?)

@skeggi; dutch tournaments for the win! Some big Prices to win there as well.

I'll post those announcements here when i get all the information up (which will be somewhere next week)

I will probably go there aswell. Time for drinking with some fellow sourcers ;)

Looks like I can't come... apparently I'll be in Spain.

Chances are good that I'll join the fun with some swiss fellas.

Anyone from the States going? I'm thinking about going, but I'm still iffy about it. It would be fun meeting some players from other countries though.

This is plain awesomity.
Expect people from Finland to arrive. And pray that Malin stays home.

Will probably be there, but the date sucks cause I think I'll have a tremendous hangover on the 1st of January.
At least it's just half an hour away from here, so if I'm able to stand up in the morning I'll come. =D

The prices are sick...and of course it's gonna help that the event takes place just two weeks after Christmas

Lol, what a date for such a tournament. I think at the 1st I'd be still drunk. At the time I will be in holiday in denmark but maybe I will be there and take sum #ayb-freaks with me.

@van: what is about the problems with getting it sanctioned? Will the legacy tournament be sanctioned or not?

My guess is this: normally tournaments this big want to have trial tournaments where you can earn byes to the big tournament. The DCI has very strict rules when it comes to handing out byes on a sanctioned tournament. It basically boils down to the point, that if it isn't an event organized by the DCI, you probably can't get any byes and sanction the event. That's why probably the bye-idea was dropped, so it will be sanctioned.

Exactly.

It looks very likely there will be a delegation from Team Unicorn making this event!

And you know we are just crazy enough to do it!

You'll know me on sight - I'm the guy in the big banana costume.

AWESOME!

Does anyone know if there will be side events available without need to register in advance?

I might decide to come to this, as long as I don't have to work with newyears night.

Seems like a nice tournament and although I won't be getting any prices (I guess), playing a big tournament is always very nice.

Some more Sideevents added (among others Legacy 2-headed Giant).

Check the Homepage for more.

http://www.germanmagic.de

I really feel like I need to go if even people from Finnland and the States are actually considering this.
If anyone from the Stuttgart area is planning on attending and looking for company on the Autobahn drop me a PM.

Update

Preregistrations close on December 10, 2009.

If you are not registered by then, you'll have to register at the day of the event.

Just as a reminder, there's only one week left to preregister.

Stupid question, whats the advantage of preregistering?
I will be there for sure, but i dont see a point. :eyebrow:

I won't go to this one after all.

I am kind of on a budget this year and I'd rather pay for a trip and hotel in Madrid instead.

Good luck and have fun for all of you who are going though.

If you play more than one tournament, it's cheaper.

http://www.germanmagic.de/english/reservation.html

Legacy + Vintage = 45 Euro (normal prize 50€)
Legacy + Vintage + Highlander = 50 Euro (normal prize 60€)
Legacy + Vintage + 1 Side Event = 50 Euro (normal prize 60€)

It looks like 6 of us from the States are headed over there. Anyone in the Frankfurt area going to show us around and possibly give us a place to crash?

The Legacy main event will be a GP Trial to Madrid with byes for the whole top8: http://www.germanmagic.de/english/informations.html

Some of us are also looking for a rock/metal concert to hit on New Year's Eve in Frankfurt or just some place to have a good time? Anyone have plans for New Year's Eve in Frankfurt? Isn't Germany suppose to be the home of many metal bands? Or am I mistaken?
