Windy City Weasels

The fifth and sixth steps of the 2010 NADF Grand Prix will take place this weekend in Columbus, Ohio, and Cambridge, Mass.

Host site of last year's world championship, the Origins Game Fair's Diplomacy tournament will start tomorrow night and run through Saturday night, with one round each evening. Origins is also the second step of the Central Shuffle minor circuit. For more information about Origins, contact Dan Mathias at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Boston Massacre opens Friday evening with a barbecue. The tournament starts Saturday morning. There will be two rounds on Saturday and one on Sunday. Massacre is also the second step of the minor Nor'Easter circuit. For more information about Massacre, contact Alex Amann at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

If you're playing in either event, good luck! Meanwhile, here are the Grand Prix' top 10 players through the first four events (Temple, CODCon, Whipping and Dixie).

Each player may score up to four events. For the winner, an event is worth 10 points per board in the three largest rounds. Each subsequent place scores 90 percent of the previous place, down to a minimum of 5 points just for showing up, 10 if it's a DipCon.
