Notes

  • The event will be run with 4th edition rules. These rules can be found in all post 2007 games or see store for copy.

  • Several rules often come up as points of confusion:
    • A "7" moves the robber on the first roll of the game. There is no "grace period" during players' first turns.
    • Players may trade and build in any order, and may do so multiple times in any order.
    • Players may use ports on the same turn that they are obtained.
    • The robber MAY be moved to the desert by a player (new with the 4th edition rules).

  • Promptly attend any or all of the Washington Regional Qualifying Events at the dates and locations above. Participation is limited to the first 64 entries. Everyone is welcome to participate at any or all events, but when turn-out exceeds the limited spaces, first time participants will be given priority. There is a $10 fee for each Qualifier Event (the Championship Games are included in this fee).

  • The $10 fee will be used to cover prize support and the airfare for the Eastern Washington finalist.
