<div class="messageboard-quotee">Malafar wrote:</div><blockquote>If I get an Open ticket somehow, do I need to have both Semi final slots open just in case?</blockquote><p>My guess is that you'll only need to know the one assigned to your qualifier's time slot. For example, the Thursday qualifiers might advance to Saturday at 11 and the Friday ones to Saturday at 2.

<p>Last year I was by myself, dropped in with some good players, and had a fun time even though we didn't advance. It's still the card game, complete with random draws from decks and seeing exactly how many 1s you can roll for a check, so don't get too wrapped up in it. :)</p>Malafar wrote:So, I see there are 8 tickets available for each open slot when they go on sale.
