[MN-dip] DIPLOMACY TOURNOMENT!

[Nathan Barnes]

Attention all Diplomacy Players!

The Piggyback Society for Northwest Diplomacy

*presents*

North American DipCon XXXVII

April 23rd - 25th 2004

72 days until DipCon, and things are in high gear here in the
Northwest.  Two pieces of information that will be of interest to
the Diplomacy world.  First, we know people are making plans to get
out here and the time the first round starts would be helpful in
those plans.  So here is the Friday schedule:

Signup Starts: 5:30
Opening Cerimonies: 6:15
Board Call: 6:45
Spring 1901 Starts: 7:00

Secondly, here is a link to the scoring system that will be used at
Dipcon.  I encourage you to read it over, as it's a little different
than other systems.  Special thanks to Mr. Jake Mannix and all the
people that helped develop this system.

We're all working hard to get attendence as high as possible, make
sure that the event is memorable, and to be the best hosts we can.
We can use all the support we can get.  Pre-registration is $30
until March 1st, $35 thereafter, and those dollars will help us
purchase
trophies, food, and organize group dinners/events.  You can reserve
a room at the $99 dollar rate until April 7th.  (Contact info is
below.)  Again, if you can get a cheaper price, through Orbitz for
example, please be sure to let us know so that we can contact the
hotel and link your room stay with our event. Thank you for your
continued support of the DipCon institution, and we look forward to
seeing everyone this April.

Continued updates at www.piggybackdip.org and further announcements.

PLEASE email us with any suggestions or comments.  This is an event
for the entire community, and we welcome your input.

Finally, please take some time to forward this and future
announcements to anyone we are not reaching, your support only makes
DipCon that much better.

Thank you.

The Piggyback Board Members,
