Traditional Favorites Return!
Anyone who’s attended an AdeptiCon in the past can tell you about our signature events – the kind of tournaments you won’t find anywhere else. All of the traditional favorites will return, so register early at
www.adepticon.org/cart to reserve your spot and a chance to win glory, fame, and some of AdeptiCon’s legendary prize support.

New Challenges Await!
This year, we’ve added even more tournaments to our roster of events, and greatly expanded the list of demos, bring-and-battles, and other non-competitive events! Best of all, many of the demos and other non-competitive events are FREE with your AdeptiCon Weekend Badge. Note that many of the free events have limited space, so pre-registration at
www.adepticon.org/cart is highly recommended to make sure you can take part in the events of your choice.

Event Highlights!
Read on to find out some short descriptions of both our traditional and new events. Full descriptions and event rules can be found online in our web cart at
