Grasshopper's G40 Invitational (OLD THREAD)

It’s worth noting that there are 30 people on the list (as of this writing) but only 2 have paid for a weekend guest pass to the convention.

Currently the space for this tournament is limited to 24 people and having a paid pass is a requirement.

We are looking into increasing table space, but that would require a large investment in money upfront and may or may not be possible (for any number of reasons).

What does the color mean on the signup? Red, blue, white, green? Anything? Im on the right page right :P

Thanks

Just a fun little thing for guests. Some people have an unrelenting need to play a specific color in games so we are catering to that on their passes this year.

Have fun guys!

Im in, picked White! :P

@siredblood:

Im in, picked White! :P

Confirmed.

Not that the color you usually play in games means anything for the tourney, lol.

I can’t even remember the colour that I picked. Maybe I was feeling blue that day  :?

I looked at the map, so Toronto is where I want to arrive? Depending on where I look, my choices change, so not sure if that’s the closest or not, thanks! …. Sorry, never been East, Canada, or anywhere really lol

Yes you fly into Pearson Airport (YYZ)

epic, thanks

Funny we were just talking about that. Yes we’ll play on the same team. I’ve been searching for a cost effective way to travel to Buffalo after it’s all said and done, if you have any suggestions there that would be greatly appreciated.

OK then.  if we are already picking teams, Hunter would you like to team with me to take on the great ones, YG, GHG and Sired Blood?  Ready to rock!!  Whats A Team gonna do?  “sit around a campfire and sing songs?!” - in honor of Bill Paxton who passed away last year…

Hey this is Billthecanuck from youtube.  Are there any good hotels near the convention you would recommend?  My knowledge of Toronto is walking between terminals at the airport :P  Also I just noticed that this is the same weekend as the Calgary boardgaming convention: Fallcon.  tough decision as i usually go to that every year.

Hey Bill. Apparently the Best Western Plus Durham is about the closest hotel to the convention. I called them the other day to get some info about travel between there and Pearson International. They are on the opposite sides of Toronto but they told me that the cheapest way to get there is to take a train to Union Station and then another out to Oshawa. The rooms would be cheaper if you can pair up with someone and get a room with 2 beds in it. A room with one bed is almost as much as a room with 2. You get a free breakfast included in the price of a room too. They have a toll free number on their site for more info.

cool i’ll take a look
