Round 1 starts 30 minutes later

I expect this to be a smaller event similar to the frozen showdown I ran last year. This is not one of my 3 main showdown events as most of the prizes will be repeats from the Online Summer Showdown. I have always loved playing in the APAC region events, and I hope this will help support organized play for the APAC region.

I expect to run 6-7 rounds of SSS and a single elimination cut to top 4-8 depending on players.

Last year this ended up being a pretty chill event and I even got to play ❤️ Ideally it will be wrapped up in 8 hours or less so I can get to bed 🙃

All CTKs are fairly casual events and I make a special effort to make these events approachable and inviting for newer players. This is a great place to start if you've never played in an online or any tournament before. There is even a bonus prize if you have never played in an online Showdown before! The online Showdowns are a great way to make connections with netrunner players all around the globe! 😃 I expect this will be another epic netrunner tournament bringing together new and old players of all skill levels for a wonderful day of connecting with friends and hacking servers 🥳

Games will be played on Jinteki.net. I will be coordinating the event through the Null Signal online events hub Discord server. You can join the server here.

What happens if I buy a ticket and can't make it? You have two choices. First, I can refund your ticket. The earlier you can register the better it is for me and I don't want that to cost you if your plans change. The second option is to keep your ticket and I will ship you the participation prizes and any early registration bonuses. Playing is required to receive the first Showdown tournament bonus.

Affordability My main goal for running the Showdown tournaments is to increase access to competitive netrunner. I make an effort to keep the ticket price affordable, but I want to make sure the cost isn't a barrier for anyone who would like to play and receive prizes. If you are hesitant to play because of the cost you have a couple of options.

First of all anyone can play completely free without a ticket (tickets are only required to receive physical prizes). If you would like to play without receiving prizes all you need to do is register on Aesop’s Tabes and show up in the Discord events hub at the start of the event. Without a ticket you can still win a CBI invite and Beans.

If you want to play and receive prizes, but paying for a ticket would prevent you, use the discount code NETRUNNER4EVERYONE for 100% off the ticket price. This discount code does not have unlimited uses. Please use one if it would help but only if you plan to fully participate in the event. If the free tickets happen to run out you can check again later as quite a few players donate to support more free tickets. ❤️

Alternatively, if paying the whole ticket price would be a burden, you're welcome to take $6 off with the code 18$TICKET. I really want to avoid the ticket price being a financial barrier, and I'm hoping to make sure anyone who wants to play can participate. ❤️

If you're in a comfortable financial position, there is an opportunity during check out to chip in an extra 1/4+ ticket to help me offer additional free tickets. You can also support the events on Patreon with extra goodies!
