As previously announced, VASSAL CON will be September 8-11, 2022. Urban Jedi and I have been hard at work planning some super fun events for everyone, and we hope you will all participate as much as you can.

A few notes before we start:

Except for the Championships, which will be four rounds of Swiss with a cut based on the number of players, all other events will be three rounds.

Unless SPECIFICALLY noted in the event description, V-set 24 will not be legal for this event. VASSAL CON this year is the end of the North American competitive season, and we want to respect that.

Without further ado, here is the schedule of events for 2022 VASSAL CON!

I'll be playing in the team tournament Thursday and the champs on Saturday. And yes, thank you Urbans!

I am trying my best to be play in the championships on Saturday afternoon.

But set 24 won't be legal. Will that be confusing? Are they incompatible?

Also - vset 24 is not currently on bloo. For the above mentioned tournaments that use it, that poses a problem . . .

Maplists are posted!

Wanted to get clarification on the Lightside/Darkside events.

In the team tourney is the squad build 200 or 225? Does it follow the same idea as the LS vs DS tournament. The way I read it, it does but I wanted clarification.

When do we start sending in our squads?

Does anyone object to me being the Keeper of the Squads without having submitted my own yet? I'm obviously waiting until next week to decide, but everyone has access to the squads I'm actively considering, so none of it should be a surprise. If there are no objections, I can at least start taking registrations for the Championships.

Please be sure to include a Bloomilk link to the squad and your preferred map.
