Century Events

Century: 104 events compose the Century Group of featured events which are supported by multiple prize levels ranging from two to six plaques and a Centurion shirt based on a formula using the most recent statistics of attendance and player hours. Those 104 slots were pre-determined by 2005 performance and Board vote under the Legacy rules and require only the commitment of a BPA member to GM the event by the Feb. 28, 2006, deadline. Failure of a GM to submit a suitable event form for the event by the deadline will drop it from the Century Group. Only Century Events, Continuing Trials (supplemented by Alternates, as applicable), and Vendor/Sponsor Introductory Trials with GMs committed by Feb. 28, 2006, will be run at WBC 2006.

All events require a BPA member acting as GM to submit a satisfactory Event Form no later than Feb. 28, 2006, or the event will not be run. Prospective GMs should review the GM Guidelines, which have been updated for 2006 with several substantial changes. All requested event times are approximate and subject to change when the final schedule is made.

To make a GM Commitment, become a current BPA member of Sustaining level or higher and submit a completed event form before Feb. 28, 2006. *Century events will be run within two hours of the requested time slot or the GM will be consulted for an acceptable alternate time.

 

Continuing Trials

Continuing Trials are new events or those that failed to make the Century Group by 2005 attendance standards and which were among the top 25 vote recipients in the annual December membership survey. Any vacancies in these 25 due to lack of a GM will be filled by BPA based on other GM commitments on hand by Feb. 28. Although we will try to honor requested timeslots, all GMs of Continuing Trials must be willing to run their events when scheduled by BPA. Failure to do so may reduce the event’s chance of acceptance.
