(and his tournament committee) and reigning Alpha Weasel Nick Rohn, are proud to
invite you to attend:

WEASEL MOOT III: The Search for Kevin O'Kelly

That's right! America's critically acclaimed, crowd-pleasing, best named and
most attractive Diplomacy tournament returns to the Days Inn at Lincoln Park in
Chicago for their third annual weekend of stabby action. Sadly, our Sub-Prime
Weasel, Kevin O'Kelly, has been lost off the island of Matrimonos and we hope
that he will return in time for the event. We would like to have a large crowd
on hand for his eventual return.

When: September 18-19, 2009.

Where: Day's Inn Chicago, 644 W. Diversey Pkwy., Chicago, IL 60614.

What: A three-round Diplomacy tournament. Best two rounds count for score. It
only takes one round to be eligible for awards.

How much: $35 before the tournament, $40 at the door. ($20 for students and
kids; $18 if they preregister.) You may preregister through September 11 by
PayPaling to wcwsneak@.... (NOTE: If you're a $25 paid-up member of the
Weasels, we'll knock $5 off your registration fee. What a deal!)

Room Reservations: Call (888) LPN-Days or (773) 525-7010. The group code is
DPTM. We encourage our suburban players and out-of-town travelers to group up
and reserve together! More info at http://www.daysinnchicago.net

Highlights: Jim O'Kelley has been busy scribing hand-written invitations to
several members of the ol' Diplomacy Postal hobby (when players would actually
take out pen and paper and stamps and WRITE to each other. By hand. How quaint.)
We anticipate that several of these luminaries of a bygone time will appear at
Weasel Moot III! We also hope to welcome a bumper crop of national travelers to
Chicago for a late-summer gathering.

I'm new to your group, can I play too?: We WELCOME new players! We're a friendly
bunch of people who play hard and enjoy themselves immensely while doing it. If
you're local to Chicago and new to the game of Diplomacy, consider joining us at
one of our many gatherings before tournament weekend as well.

I'm a Scoring System Addict and must know what scoring system you use: Our
scoring system will closely resemble that used during Weasel Moot II; it's a
center-based system with an additional pot of points distributed to those who
settle in a draw. We'll be happy to divulge more details in a future message.

Registration: 5:45 to 6:15 p.m.
