At each qualifier, we want two winners so depending on how many gamers took part, there'll be one or two rounds. The two winners shud come from one round of 4-6 player session.
The two winners from each of the qualifiers will then meet on FINALS day to compete in a semi-final round (two boards of 6 players) with the three winners from each board advancing to a FINAL board of 6 players.
Prizes for Top Three Finishers.

[size="3"]what do you think would be a good choice of prize?[/size]
Note: We are still in discussion with Bill Gates to sponsor this and until then, go easy with the prize suggestion.

Ideally registered first to join, but am sure we'll allow walk-in. What's norm is walk-in has a higher registration fee.

After a tour of Qualifiers hosted by newly set-up boardgame cafes, we are honored to be back among one of the oldest game shop to premier in M’sia – WOLF GAME SHOP. Only the brave lurks in the lair of the wolf, and with rumours of Empress Hacan the Merciful making a return from her Catan slumber, we were all set for an explosive qualifier!
