Well, "in a few days" was two weeks ago. We'll get back to that in a second, but first:
@everyone Rough schedule announcement!
This is our preliminary schedule. It might still change slightly, but you can rely on the events being on those days in that order at roughly that time (and not missing a main event if you need to leave at 15:00 on Sunday).
Friday:
- arrivals
- get some rest (you'll need it) (there will be a party the next night)
Saturday:
- 08:30: Players arrive at the venue and get set up
- 09:00-12:00: Minesweeper World Championship 2025
- 12:00-14:00: Lunch break, time buffer in case of tech issues
- 14:00-17:30: Chord Cup 8 part 1
- 17:30-18:30: Merienda [1]
- 18:30-21:00: Chord Cup 8 part 2 - top8
- 14:00-21:00: Reimbursement station [2]
- 21:00-22:00: Awards ceremonies for WCH/CC, thanking sponsors, etc
- 22:00-??:??: Dinner, Party (details tba)
Sunday:
- ??:??-15:00: Minesweeper.online event (details tba)
- 15:00-20:00: Other small Minesweeper-related activities/games, food, reimbursement station reopens
- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merienda
- [2] There will be a reimbursement station where people can make their refund claims as they get eliminated from CC, to avoid there being a huge line. May contain traces of merch, no promises yet.
And about the other post that we promised, the one about refunds: this got super long, so it's a thread over in #mswch2025: (internal link to discord thread)
Feedback on that second one is very welcome!
