Member Registration Temporarily Suspended

Jan 10, 2016

Due to an abnormally large influx of new member applications for our 2016 season, we regret to announce that we have had to temporarily suspend new member applications. Those applicants currently in the queue have already been notified and their applications will be processed before we decide to re-open registration.

As with any gaming league, there are limits to the number of active players we can have in our roster or even in the space we use.

Well the First Annual Edmonton Oil Kings & EBGL Board Game Bonanza went down on Saturday, October 17th. We had close to 40 people in attendance and kept about 11-12 tables of games running for the three hours.

Congrats to the following people:
- Everyone who won one of the many raffle prizes!
- Randal P for winning the X-Wing Tournament!
- Rob D for winning the King of Tokyo Tournament!
- Shawn T for winning the draw for the 2016 EBGL Season "Tie Breaker"!
- And to all 16 EBGL members in attendance for earning the rare achievement and a 2016 EBGL Season "+1 Extra Vote"!

Finally, we'd really like to thank the Oilers/Oil Kings organization (namely Jeff & Derek) for reaching out to us and not only helping making this happen, but for donating so much of their time and some great prizes to the event!
