Still trying to sort out if I'm going to Philly or going elsewhere and then riding from there to Philly, but glad to see Fortune will make it, and CC as the first tourney is probably the best idea due to the shorter hours this year.

Only concern with it being the first tournament is that if some people arrive a little late they may miss out on it. Maybe we make it the 2nd tournament after a warm up one to get us going and get people there. I'll make sure all tournaments are ready so there is little if any down time.

Talking with Mike Fortune, it looks like Canada Cup will be on the early year sets. Here is the proposed schedule for major tournaments on Saturday 7/16:
Canada Cup - GWF Originals, Invasion Series, 30th Anniversary cards
Legends of Wrestling - Bets of the Legends series
Indie Wrestling - Representatives from all promotions under Filsinger games banner
Champions of the Galaxy - Representatives from all 30 years of Champions of the Galaxy
Winners of these 4 tournaments will meet to determine the GalactiCon Cup winner.
Time permitting we may have other tournaments on that day for individual prizes. These may include 80's Mania Wrestling, Philly Hardcore Invitational, Women's Tournament, Trivia Challenge.

Not bad, with as wide as those are, perhaps we should make picks before the con to save time.

Not sure if Jeff will be able to make it this year, so I will need a hand with tournament tracking from someone this year. Looks like we will have a bunch of first timers, which will be cool.

As one of those first-timers who plans on coming, may I ask what to expect from the convention? I realize tournaments, but are there other things going on--like anybody selling anything or exclusives, etc. Or is that still to be determined? I was going to wait to ask, but it seemed like there was a good jump-in point on the conversation..lol

I this the first year of the condensed format of the convention, so a few things are still being worked out. But yes, there will be a few people selling things like their bootleg cards, etc. I know Broc will have his NDW set there, and I believe there are a few others working on things as well. We will have 2 sets released at the convention, a new Ring of Honor set and the COTG 30th anniversary set. I am working on one more exclusive card and possibly one other big surprise to release at the convention as well. We will have a Q&A with Tom that will be broadcasted over Youtube that everyone can watch and folks in Philly can ask questions for. Time permitting we will have a trivia challenge and a small auction as well. But the main focus is the tournaments, which is what people have always looked forward to.
