Taking inspiration from the Iberian Lockdown events, this event will have both Diversified Portfolio rules, plus certain cards will be "locked down" (banned).

This is a free event with some prizes from me and also generously donated from the online GNK community.

What are Diversified Portfolio rules? To encourage ID diversity, all IDs are assigned a points value, and then you are given a limited budget (5) to spend on 'buying' your two IDs. Further, to encourage more creativity, where people are level in Swiss, the first tiebreaker will be fewest ID points spent, before SoS and ESoS as normal.
