SATURDAY EVENING

For those staying in Brussels, we are looking in to grabbing something to eat together and then go on a pub crawl. Details will be announced closer to the date, but we’ll bring some pub games to play while we enjoy some tasty Belgian beer!
​

SUNDAY

12:00 – Venue opens
13:00 – Start top 8
13:15 – Start Startup Tournament
17:00 – Estimated end of the event + prizing
​
We’ll start a bit later on Sunday so people don’t have to rush, but there won’t be a lunch break so make sure you’ve gotten something to eat before we start! There will of course be separate prizing for the Startup Tournament, which will consist of 3 rounds of swiss. It is also possible to only play in the Startup side-event, for which we’re charging €5, but it would be a shame to miss out on the main shindig!

TOURNAMENT

As this is a Competitive-level event, the format will be Standard, so from Data & Destiny and the Flashpoint cycle through to Midnight Sun. An overview and the Standard Ban List can be found here (careful, this page will be updated on 5/08/22 to reflect when Midnight Sun becomes legal). If there are any changes to the Standard Ban List leading up to the event, we will make a decision and let you know ASAP through Facebook and Stimhack Slack. Decklists are mandatory. All cards must be in opaque sleeves. Proxies for any legal card are perfectly fine, but they must be of decent quality and immediately recognizable as the card they represent. You can find print & play versions of the cards on the product page of the Nisei website.
​

PREREGISTRATION

While preregistration isn’t necessary, it does help us get an idea of how many players are coming and it ensures your seat is saved in the unlikely event of a turnout so large that we can’t accommodate everyone. But generally speaking there shouldn’t be issues with paying at the door.
If you do want preregister please include your full name and your Netrunner handle. You could also include if you’re interested in getting dinner with the group, but we won’t hold you to that.
You can preregister by transferring €10 to either:
IBAN BE33 0014 6775 0446 or PayPal maelbrunet@gmail.com

VENUE

The Outpost Gamecenter Brussels is quite a light and open game shop with floor-to-ceiling windows located in a relatively calm street in the heart of the city, near the buildings of parliament and less than a 10 minute walk from the central trainstation. For folks from the southern UK who are considering attending, there is a direct connection from London St. Pancras to Brussels South station by Eurostar which takes about 2 hours and from there it’s a 5 minute tram ride to the central station. Brussels also boasts an international airport for those who would like to join from further away.
While it is completely fine to bring in your own food, consuming your own drinks inside the game store is not allowed. The bar has plenty of options, though, and don’t forget you get a free drink with your entry fee!
