All Tournament games are 1 vs 1.
This is also how most players are playing during training - 1 vs 1.
Grasshopper's G40 Invitational (OLD THREAD)

Hey Bill. Apparently the Best Western Plus Durham is about the closest hotel to the convention. I called them the other day to get some info about travel between there and Pearson International. They are on the opposite sides of Toronto but they told me that the cheapest way to get there is to take a train to Union Station and then another out to Oshawa. The rooms would be cheaper if you can pair up with someone and get a room with 2 beds in it. A room with one bed is almost as much as a room with 2. You get a free breakfast included in the price of a room too. They have a toll free number on their site for more info.

KrisAwesome Kris, you can bring your boards if you like, but all the tournament tables will have a 1 piece printed map on vinyl.

Going forward, anyone who registers for their weekend pass for FMGCon (www.fmgcon.com/register), could you please add a note to your registration or send us a separate message (here if you wish, including the name you used to register via FMGCon Registration) that you are coming as a participant of the YG Invitational AAAG1940 Tournament so we can mark things down appropriately?
This would be a great help, thank you!

Oh…
For those who are flying in to Toronto… there are two airports:
YYZ ( Canadians use funny unusual airport codes! ) which is Pearson, which is well established already on this thread - 40 mins away aprox from the down town core, all airlines ( give or take )
YTZ which is Toronto Island which flies directly to the downtown core. Air Canada and Porter Airlines fly in and out from here, but it is limited on destinations.
Just thought I’d point this out for those who are visiting TO for the first time.

Yes, but YTZ is very limited in both flights and hours, and limited to short trip planes, so it’s usually not a consideration.
YYZ is the primary airport.PS: Everyone uses funny airport codes. That’s how airlines communicate worldwide. ;)

I need everyone’s help on this one, so busy and I’m not that versed in air travel in and out of Toronto…
Hey YG, it’s me, Gernot from Vienna/Austria (alias B4hET on YouTube)!As you know, I try to come to your tournament at the FMG Con in September! There are some questions I want to ask you…
I would take a flight from Vienna which would arrive on Friday, 22nd at 5.30 pm your time and want to go back on Tuesday, 26th at 10pm your time (from YYZ).
Do you already know when the tournament on Monday at the Cliffside Bunker will start and approximately end?
Which public transports do you have in Toronto to get to Oshawa nicely and not too expensive and do you know/ recommend any hotels or (better) inns in Oshawa (also maybe the cheapest I could get) from where I can get smoothly by foot or by public transports to the FMG Con? Maybe you have any friends or anyone who can put me up for 4 overnight stays?
Because I’m a student and therefore I have to keep it reasonable, so I really need the cheapest options available (except for everything depending the Tournament of course)!
I can bring some pieces, chips, dice and other stuff for A&A too, if you have not enough for setting up all tables.
There’s only to things preventing me from joining your tournament for sure right away:
Firstly it depends on the funds I have to bring up for the whole trip including the Flight, Tournament, Public Transports in Toronto/Oshawa, Accommodation and food/drink for all days! The only things where I could save money are the accommodation and maybe for tickets for public transports.
Secondly everything depends on the amount of people joining the tournament! Assuming that there are, let’s say less than 10 people joining the tournament - what will you do then? Will it be anyways then, with less tables? Because if I book the flight and hotel and I buy the ticket for the FMG Con (as well as taking one day of vacation because I’m working on Saturdays), I have to definitely know that it will be held on this weekend…I’m sorry for all my annoying questions and a very long email and I hope you will have some suggestions for me, because I really would love to have the chance to join this amazing tournament!
By the way, sorry for my bad English! :PBest wishes and looking forward to hear from you!
Gernot “B4hET” Müller
Vienna/AustriaPS. May I ask how I can call you by first name, I it doesn’t cause problems for you? :)

Travel and Accommodations info here : http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39360.0
(includes travel by transit and/or car from YYZ)We have 12 confirmed registered for the convention that are on the Tourney list, so it is a go for sure.
Travel from YYZ/Toronto to Oshawa : Go transit to Whitby station, then Durham Region Transit (Bus) from Whitby GO Station.
Travel from the venue to nearest hotels : There is a bus that travels up and down Stevenson Road (stop available at Stevenson Road and Rossland Road which is a 5-10 minute walk south of the venue) if I’m not mistaken that would get within a couple minutes walking distance to the 3 hotels I’ve listed.
