White Rose Gameroom Show at York- Tournament Info + Help Requested

Events

Hello Everyone!

We are running the IFPA Tournament at the White Rose Gameroom show scheduled for Saturday Oct 12.

We are passing along some information about the event, but I am writing today to ask for assistance at the show. We are specifically seeking two things:

  • Reliable machines that we will have in a dedicated bank to use for Finals and for back-up games. If your game is used in the bank, you will get free access to the York Show and we will cover your entry in the tournament.

  • Volunteers to help us set-up on Saturday morning (8am to 11am). We will cover your entry in the tournament.

If you can help us, please fill out this form:

Just a reminder that we’re looking for some help with the event, specifically with having a handful of games lined up that we can use for Finals!
