''Please note: In order to qualify for prizes (best GM and best player, 1st
and second prizes) you have to play in all three competitive events, i.e.
Saturday morning as well as Sunday morning and afternoon. Saturday afternoon
is non-competitive as it is simply a secondary choice for those who do not
wish to play in Living Greyhawk (LGH). If you need help drawing up a LGH
character before Witscon, details will be up on our website by Monday 10th
or we can email them to you - just contact us.''
