2008 CODCon Schedule Set
Jim O'Kelley reports the following:
The 2008 CODCon Open Diplomacy Tournament is less than two and a half months away, so it's not too early to start acquiring spouse/signficiant- other points and working on your loved ones.
What: A three-round Diplomacy tournament at the annual CODCon gaming convention.
When: April 12 and 13.
Where: In the lounge area at the College of DuPage's Student Resource Center, 425 Fawell Boulevard, Glen Ellyn, Ill. 60137.
Who: The Windy City Weasels is a Chicago-area club dedicated to the play of the classic boardgame Diplomacy. This tournament will be open to any convention attendee who wishes to play. A player need only participate in one round to be eligible for awards.
How Much: The CODCon registration fee is $5 for one day; $10 for a three-day pass. (The con starts on April 11.) In addition to the convention registration fee, we will charge a $15 tournament fee, $5 for students and kids. This fee is payable to our tournament staff, not CODCon, and will offset the cost of awards.
Schedule:
April 12
Round 1 Registration: 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Round 1 Starts: 9:45 a.m.
Round 2 Registration: 5:15 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Round 2 Starts: 6 p.m.
April 13
Round 3 Registration: 9:15 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
Round 3 Starts: 10 a.m.
Tournament ends between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. with brief awards ceremony following conclusion.
Please note that only the third round has a hard ending this year. Round 1 and 2 games will continue for as long as necessary.
Scoring: Each player's two best rounds will count for score. We'll be using a center-based scoring system. Therefore, all games will be DIAS, which means Draws Include All Survivors. Copies of the scoring system will be available at the Open. It's the same system we used last year and at Weasel Moot, with a possible modification to the scores for players who lose to a solo.
Awards: We'll be awarding plaques for first- through seventh-place, as well as Best Country. In addition, we're expecting prize support from Hasbro, so we'll be giving out some cool board games for various feats and completely subjective and possibly arbitrary reasons.
Circuits: The 2008 CODCon Open is part of the Central Shuffle and the North American Diplomacy Federation Grand Prix.
