Habitats Collab Added

If you've got or are building a Habitat, that collaborative has been added online so you can register your modules.  Our friend Kate will again be spearheading this display.

There's still time to build!

Free Public Ticket

To all our first-timers, Welcome!  But moreover please know that your goodie bag, upon checking-in, will contain one free public ticket good for BrickFair Sunday.  So if friends or family are coming to see you at the show, you can save the price of one ticket per paid registrant.

It is not possible to collect your ticket(s) in advance.  You'll find it in your goodie bag(s) when you check-in.

Game Seating

Do you wanna play X game?  Are you confused by the 2 or 3 X listings?  Wanna increase your odds of being selected?

Each game/event has it's own absolutely individual sign-up list.  If you sign up for both versions of X you may be selected for both; if you sign up for only one you're limiting your chances to that one X and cannot be selected for the other.

Seating selections take place a week prior to the event.  You'll receive automated emails when you're selected and when you're chosen as alternate.  After seating selection is done, you can visit your account page GAMES tab and drop out of anything you wish - including games you've been seated at.  Clicking-out clears the seat so the server can choose another person. Of course you can always simply not show up to a game and the host will, on-site, choose from their alternate list or walk-ups.  But it's nicer to do this in advance so others can plan their itineraries too.

It's a bit complicated system, but most people will be seated in their #1 or #2 game choice.

Schedule Confusion

When considering your upcoming BrickFair trip, trust the hours listed at www.BrickFair.com/Schedule (JPG) over the game listings at www.BrickFair.com/Game (HTML).

The game sign-up page (HTML) has dates and times copied from last year's Virginia show.  The JPG schedule is our current schedule - currently being updated and honed.  When the schedule (JPG) is complete, we'll update the game listings (HTML) with the corrected times.  We'll do this before the server selects players, so the system will be up-to-date.  The system will not select a person for overlapping games.

UPDATE, July 17: The schedules (should) now match.

Boat Race is Slalom Course

Important update to our Boat Race competition.  We previously neglected to state in the Boat Race game listing - the race is slalom style, where boats must steer through the course.

We apologize for this oversight and hope this doesn't affect entrants' ability to participate.  We'll see you at the pool!
