People have asked for it and to if we sell enough playmats then there will be a top 8 knock out after the swiss rounds. This will be confirmed if/when it happens. This event is being run at a loss, so if you like the playmat and you can afford one, please do buy one. If you don't like the playmat, but you have some spare cash then there's an option to make a donation instead. If you don't have the spare cash, that's totally fine, Pauper is for everyone.

Directions:
Novotel, 4 Whitehall Rd, Whitehall Quay, Leeds LS1 4HR
Inside the venue we're in - 1st Floor, meeting rooms 6&7
There is disabled access.

Train - Novotel is about a 5min walk from Leeds train station
Driving - There is on street parking all over Leeds, there are gravel car parks on the same street as Novotel, but you probably want to check out the NCP Leeds Wellington Place multistory car park (LS1 4AJ). Last I checked it was £4.95 for 24 hours on a weekend, and it's 5 mins walk from Novotel.
Coach - Novotel is 10min walk from the bus/coach station
