VtES EC 2011 about to start

It's November 11th, 2011 in Warsaw, Poland and today is a Polish national holiday (Independence Day). And the European VtES Championship 2011 is going to start in less than hour with the Legendary Vampire and Last Chance Qualifier tournaments. I am guessing that we have about 180 players registered for both events, maybe even more.

Yesterday during the Welcome Party the VEKN chairman, Johannes Walch made a couple of interesting announcements. There are currently two top priorities for the VEKN. The first is to make the VEKN rating system finally work (again). Due to lack of resources, the development of the rating system was not finished and therefore could not be put online.

The second (even more interesting) priority is the development of new VtES expansion, which will be released in the first half of 2012. The expansion will be print-to-PDF expansion consisting of 20-30 new cards. Supposedly the expansion will be made available for free. Currently the VEKN is sorting out some complex legal/licensing issues, but they are confident to sort these out in the next couple of months.
