WorldDipCon XIV

BORUCON V

When is it ?

BoruCon V starts on Friday July 23rd and runs until Sunday July 25th. The first round is on Friday evening, and there is a round on Saturday and Sunday. The Sunday round starts early to allow for plane-catching.

What scoring system is used ?

BoruCon uses a scoring system that is similar to C-Diplo, but we have modified it a little. Those of you who have played in the DipWorld tournaments will recognise it, because its pretty much the same as the one used there. There is more information on the scoring system here. The tournament rules can be found here.

Where is the tournament being held ?

BoruCon has been held in the Teachers Club since 2003. The Teachers Club is in Parnell Square, which is in Dublin City Centre. Located just off O�Connell Street, there are many restaurants, bars, fast-food joints, shops, cinemas etc, nearby. The Teachers Club has a bar on the premises, and serves a variety of drinks to the weary traveller. An excellent advantage to the venue is that the bar is a subsidised one, thus driving the price of drinks downwards ... making the weary traveller more comfortable in his surroundings. Sandwiches are also available inside the venue itself (as is tea and coffee, as well as beer).

Where do I stay ?

BoruCon has begun a relationship with the Kingfisher Bed & Breakfast, also on Parnell Square. Located, literally 100 meters from the venue, what could be better than getting up at the last minute and still not being late for the next round ? There are other accomodations within easy walking distance of the venue � Isaacs Hostel, Jurys Inn, and a variety of other B&B locations. For more information, contact us, and we can help you find the accomodation that suits you.

How much does it cost ?

BoruCon costs 15 EUR per player.

Are there other games being played ?

BoruCon is a diplomacy-only convention. However, this does not mean that other games are not welcome. The venue is an excellent spot to play other games after, or before the diplomacy, and opens late, allowing lots of game playing. Most players bring their own games to BoruCon, and its very common to see games being played all over the venue.
