Sir Edward:

They're at a much more expensive facility this time, I think. It's a shame that it is costing more now, but they've outgrown the smaller locations they've used previously, so I can understand it. Still, if you want to sign up for the competition and not all of the classes, it would be nice to be able to do so and not buy a full registration for the event.

I went to look at the new venue on the site, and just realized it's a 3 day event now, too. That's actually not bad for a 3 day event. I forgot 2011 was a 2 day event, since when I went, only the tournament was on day 2 and I only "day tripped" for the Saturday classes. So $70 a day isn't *terrible*.

As for names, Aaron Pynenberg is an ex (or current?) high-up ARMA guy; he did the unarmored vs armored fighting part in the Medieval Fight Book TV special (with John Clements in the battle) a couple years ago.

Sir Edward:

The event actually has a lot of interesting names participating. Considering it's local, and we don't need to travel or get hotel rooms, the cost is pretty manageable if you go to the whole thing. :)

Sir Brian:
Well I heard back from Ben Michels and the registration fee of $185 is mandatory. So I better start saving up because it looks like maybe next year for me!  :'(


--- Quote ---Hello Brian,

Yes, the base registration fee is mandatory. I probably should have made that clearer on the website. I think next year we may look into a better payment method that would allow for easy tracking and organization of day-to-day attendance.

Sir William:
Turf Valley's restaurant is supposed to be something worth going to; one of my colleagues had suggested it to me about a year ago, I just never got around to taking the wife out to it.
