Welcome to the Greatest Tournament Around! That's right...it's Blitz time!


It is January again and that means it's time to beg, borrow and stab your way through WinterBlitz 2K10.


WinterBlitz 2K10 is sure to be the best yet. We have 56, yes 56, people signed up to play. That makes this our biggest tournament ever!

A Refresher
WB has two rounds of games that are played (with almost no overlap) in a fast-paced manner. The games will run 1 actual week per game year.

This allows a 10 year game to complete in 10 weeks, or a little over 2 months for a full round. Any games that run beyond 10 years will be allowed to play to completion -- no hard cutoffs

Spring deadlines will occur EVERY MONDAY. Fall deadlines will occur EVERY THURSDAY, 3 days later. Then 4 days roll around again to Monday.

Retreats and/or Builds will always be due the day after results are out. That is Tuesday and/or Friday.


SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES
1. The game roster will be locked today, January 4th.
2. You will receive an email from your Round 1 GM in the next few days. CHECK your spam filter to make sure that you have received one and confirmed. We urge you to send in provisional orders immediately.
3. Please please copy your orders to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com EVERY time. This allows the Moderators to step in and run games as needed if a GM has last minute issues that prevent him/her from keeping a game on track (due to the fast deadline). IF YOU DO NOT COPY YOUR ORDERS HERE and a Mod has to run a game, you run the risk of an NMR!
4. Please note that Fall retreats and Winter builds are combined into one turn! You may make builds conditional on retreats but they are done with ONE deadline.
5. Games should be set up on the DC site by Tuesday.
6. Round 1, Spring 01 deadline is Monday January 11th at a time set by your GM.


Please give thanks to your GM for running this tournament! Without them such a feat would not be possible. It is through their tireless work and commitment to tight timelines that make WB a success and allow us to hold it annually.
On behalf of the Moderators of DC, I wish you a hearty thanks for joining and good luck.
