Every year, the Dutch Diplomacy games society (an unincorporated body),
affiliated with the Dutch Conflict Simulation Association (DUCOSIM),
organises the Dutch National Championship.  A few years ago, it was
decided that the championship should be an Open tournament, so anybody
from anywhere may participate.

The championship itself consists of two preliminaries, and one final.
The best three players of each preliminary join with the champion of
last year in the final round.  Beware!  The preliminaries and the
finals are held on separate weekends in separate places, so be sure you
are able to attend on both weekends, unless you intend not to win the
preliminaries :-).  For more information on the Eurocon, which is a
gaming event of general interest, I refer to a separate message, which
will appear in rec.games.{board,frp,pbm} and eunet.general, with a
eunet distribution.   If you're not on eunet, mail me.

More info on the preliminaries:

On Saturday the 7th, gaming hours are from 11:00 until 18:00.
On Sunday the 8th, from 10:00 til 17:00h.
Tournament rules will follow the Calhamer system.  Each player plays
a different country on Saturday and Sunday.  Each day consists of the
years 1900-1907.  Calhamer scores from both days will be totaled to
establish the three finalists.

some people of the Dutch 'incrowd'.
