Our preparations

As this is an inaugural event we are mindfull the interest for this first year can vary greatly.

Due to the size of the venue and the reservations made, we have significant leeway in accommodating according to interest.

Original capacity is 56 players

1st expansion is 64 players

2nd TBD

WAITLISTING

If the situation occurs that interest is higher than the originally planned capacity then please contact us through the email: contact@okeanos-rising.com

We will add you to the waiting list and if the numbers are there we will make the adjustments and add the additional space.

Our terrain

We are currently 3d-printing terrain and will continue to prepare additional terrain in the coming months.

We are also borrowing terrain from Invasion, who have graciously offered to help us out. This ensures we have everything we need.

Reserving your slot

Individuals:

You can register using any of the payment options. Payment confirms your registation, but you must register through BCP. If you are not registered there, you will not be able to submit list and you will not be paired.

Groups/teams:

Remember to make a note of club/team in the BCP app to avoid getting paired with your friends in round 1.

Coffee and water provided to attendees. Additional services are subject to the economy of the event. Priority is on providing meaningfull prizes.

There are also countless restaurants and coffee shops within a 2-5 minute walk from the venue.

Grieghallen is a full service venue. We are looking into whether to dip into their services, but we need to carefully look into staffing requirements and cost as well as what on their menu would be of interest to participants.
