Would you like to be the European Champion? You can be, even if you're not European (it's an Open)!

Come see beautiful Amsterdam! It's on your bucket list, or it should be.

Thank you for your PMs regarding date preferences. Trying to take it all into account we've decided to host you on the 23th and 24th of November. There will be two rounds on Saturday and another on Sunday. If you wish to sign up or receive more information, just send me a message.

I can even offer free lodging to several players, decided on a first-come/furthest-traveller/how-much-I-like-you basis.

We now have enough players confirmed for over two boards (including some international players), but we're aiming for 4-6 boards!
So let me know if there's anything I can do to help you come (pun intended).

Plane tickets are not nearly as bad as I expected. Now if I only had the time... Does this happen every year in Amsterdam?

Shucks. I’ll be in Amsterdam on the 4-8th of November. Oh well

Autumn/Winter is a good time to see Amsterdam. Not too many tourists and with the leaves off the trees you get better views across the canal.

No, I'm afraid this is a one-time event. EDC 2020 is in Milan. The next Dutch event could be anywhere, in a year from now.

We can try to set up a game if you have time. Would be a good warm-up event.

Appreciate that, but not sure that’s on the list....possibly a beer or two. Was chatting with diplomat61 about that possibility...lmk if that interests you

I'm up for a beer or a game or both. Weekend of the 7th/8th.

Only two beer??

At the rate we're currently receiving applications, we might actually be full! We have a hard limit of 6 boards, so we might be forced to decline people I'll talk to the venue next week whether we can squeeze in a 7th board if necessary.
We now have enough players for 4 boards, but not all are fully confirmed yet.

Boarding a non-stop flight to Amsterdam shortly. Be there in 9 hours!

Top board tomorrow:

1) TheWizard
2) Mercy
3) DeltaAjaxNiner
4) Some Dutch dude who isn't on webDip
5) Claesar
6) Shield
7) Ratobe

webDip represents

PlayDip decided not to show up at the last moment..

Tell the Dutch dude to join up. That's actually a perfect username...

6 of top 7 are web dippers? Love it!!

Final results:

1) shield
2) TheWizard
3) DeltaAjaxNiner

shield wins a tournament again! Two in a single month. He's the new 2019 European Champion.

International players outnumbered the Dutch, and convincingly took the entire top3!
