    We are beginning to finalize the events for Gary Con VI. This should be completed by the weekend. Once done, we'll start assigning events to tables. We have 340+ events to sort through- our most ever! Thanks to all those running games!

    Once this process is finished Event Registration will be opening. The estimated date is February 9th. It's not carved in stone, but gives us a goal to complete the tasks in front of us.

    When would event submission reopen?

    We are not sure. Once we do the layout of all the games to the available tables- we might be full. We have 340+ events this year. It is a good problem to have. If Event Submission re-opens- we will make an announcement.

    Thanks, and see you in March!

    Does this mean that no further submissions are being accepted for the time being? I intended to submit three events, but kept forgetting to do so.

    Yeah, I don't think Event Registration will be re-opening. I believe we have run out of assigned tables.

    That being said; there are always pick-up games being ran throughout the Lodge (vacated tables, restaurant area, or hotel rooms).

    Any idea what time registration will go live on Sunday? Even a general idea like "noonish" would be helpful.

    Agreed: knowing well-in-advance when the registration go-live date and time will be is key to getting into the games we want to play :D

    In years past the start date was 4pm EST. We are working to get everything done. Hopefully programming can be wrapped up Thursday night- then we can begin assigning events to tables. Once done, we will then be ready to open up for event registration.

    We apologize for the no date carved in stone. It's currently penciled in for Feb 9, 2014 (Sunday) at 4 pm.

    I assume that is 4pm CST, or at least whatever time it goes up It will be CST?

    He said EST in previous post, FWIW.


    I hope my iPad works with the registration pages. Maybe I will have to lug my laptop with me Sunday afternoon. :?

    I have no idea how I missed that. I probably shouldn't be checking forums less than 5 minutes after I have woken up I suppose. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info. Now I have a rough idea of what time to start hovering over my keyboard.

    Hi! Do we have a confirmation that we're on for Sunday the 9th at 4 PM EST or not? Just trying to muster the troops, so we need to get some details out. :)

    Thanks!

    Not as of yet. We are having a software glitch in the system. Working to have it resolved. An update will be posted once it is carved in stone.

    Hopefully, by tomorrow.

    Thanks, and we appreciate the patience.

    Update: Feb 8, 2014 6:00 pm EST

    The programmer is working on the code, as I am typing this. We are planning to launch Event Registration, Sunday Feb 9 at 4 pm EST.

    This date is still not carved in stone, but we are going to try to make it a reality. We will make an official announcement by tomorrow morning. Cutting it close, but we are working hard behind the scenes to make this happen.

    The time we begin the migration to Lake Geneva is getting close. Are you ready?
