Euroquestrian Tournament

What is it?

Totalcon will also feature a tournament that lets you play up to 19 different games with your friends whenever your schedule allows. It’s an open play event which you can play at any time. We have also scheduled a few play times for each game title for those who are looking to play at a particular time. Games played as part of the Euroquestrian Tournamet are not counted as part of the Chairman of the Board competition. The Euroquestrian Tournament will award its own plaque to the winner.

Games

A wide variety of games are included. The games are grouped based on length, from the shortest games (Class E) to the longest games (Class A). Longer games earn more points than shorter games, based on the tables shown below.

Procedure

To start a game, a player should find an available table in the board game area and set up one of the games on the game list. Once the minimum number of players for the game is present, obtain a score sheet from the registration desk. Any players arriving within five minutes of this time (up to the maximum) will be allowed to play. Players in the Euroquestrian event should know the rules to the game being played. Players are encouraged to teach and learn games in the Open Gaming area.

Schedule

Unlike other events, there are no scheduled rounds. Games can be started on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8am until 12 Midnight, and Sunday from 8am until 12 noon. On Sunday all games must be completed and all score sheets turned in by 2PM. We have added scheduled times for many of the titles for those who like to follow a schedule. While playing in open gaming will NOT require an event ticket or Boardgame Pass, the scheduled times will require either. The added benefit of the scheduled games is that a prize ticket will be awarded for winners.

Pairing

Players are encouraged to play a variety of games as much as possible. Players who have accumulated a large number of Euroquestrian points such that they are highly ranked on the Euroquestrian leader board are encouraged to play with other similarly ranked players.
