Given the opening of GenCon registration, I'd like to post the VTES schedule
for the Origins09 convention http://www.originsgamefair.com/ as well as a
few pieces of Origins news.

1. Beginning this year, the United States VTES National Championships will
be held at Origins. This year, the U.S. Championship Event will consist of
a simple 3R+F Constructed event, but I am very interested in alternate
formats and will likely run something else in the future. Please speak with
me regarding your ideas when you see me or email me via the address given at
the top of the Las Vegas WebPages in my sig.

2. White Wolf will not have a booth in the Exhibitor Hall this year. Oscar,
will still be at Origins and will continue to bring VTES (and whatever
other) product to sell to players at a reduced rate. Please contact Oscar
before Origins and let him know what you want to buy.

It will probably be at 7pm and probably be in the CCG room of the con.
Firm details later.

Will the U.S. National championship double as a qualifier as it did at
GenCon?

According to http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Championship:
"Finalists of constructed National Championship events qualify for the
Continental Champions."

Do we need to be Qualified to play in the US National Championship, or
just show up and play?

The U.S. National Championship event will be run as an "open" event, yes.

Well Kevin, that probably gets me to Origins then.
Can't promise attendance earlier than Friday, but I'll be there
