Troll Schedule
Thursday the 6th - 3pm to 8pm
Friday the 7th - 9am to 8pm
Saturday the 8th - 9am to 4pm
Registration fees are the same as ever, $15 if you pre-reg through our website (http://unconsun.org/War_Registration.html) or in person at one of our various practices or invasion battles scheduled in the KC metro area. Pre-Reg is closing on August 31st, so be sure you pre-reg on time!
We are changing things up a bit this year, since we've had quite a few late arrivals over the past several events. We are no longer allowing people to arrive on-site outside of the troll hours of operation if you have not pre-reg'd. If you pre-reg, then you can arrive on site outside the normal troll hours, speak with security, and get escorted to the appropriate camp to sign-in and receive your event token. We will not be waking up our troll ladies to take money for folks past 8pm on Thursday or Friday.
When troll closes on Saturday at 4pm, that's the end of admission. If you have friends who want to come late on Saturday to hang out - they must show up on site before 4pm. They are permitted to leave the grounds and return later, but they will be stopped by security to see their tags if they leave and return later on.
Battles
Battles are still being finalized, but we will have a full schedule of scenario battles for both Friday and Saturday, as well as the continuation of the Night Battles starting as early as we get the light towers delivered to us.
Tournaments
Tournaments are being held by the wonderful Shatterhaze, along with others of the Mirkwood/Arangweth/Byzantium contingent, and will be posted soon to detail exactly what tournaments are being held.

Vendors
There will be vendors again this year, with a list of vendors being posted on the War of the Iron Fist page as soon as we (I) finish getting an appropriate list compiled. If you have never vended with us before and wish to do so this year, please contact me via PM here or check out the War of the Iron Fist Facebook Event page to contact the merchant coordinator.
Security
As head of security this event, I'm looking for volunteers! PM me here or on Facebook if you're interested. Keep a close eye on the schedule too, because there's a special security-only shindig going on a some point in the weekend (-hinthint-). Last year security had a blast and we has very few issues. It's a great way to mingle with all the camps and get to know everyone else on-site.
Feel free to PM me or post if you have any questions! I'll be happy to help, and will be updating this post additionally as I receive more information.

My attendence is souly based on whether or not the government does their paperwork in a timely fashion.... which you and I both know, probably won't happen.
