Dixiecon is the longest-running Diplomacy tournament on the East Coast, featuring
three rounds of Diplomacy and all the open boardgaming you can shake a stick at! Come to the tournament that has been the
scene of thrilling Diplomacy gaming since 1987, including as host convention for the North American Championships, Dipcon,
in 1990, 1994, 1998 and 2002. Dixiecon also served as the host of the world championships, World Dipcon, in 1990 and 1998.
What keeps people coming back for more? Many of the best Diplomacy players in North America come every Memorial Day
to face off against each other in a format which allows for the true "Diplomacy Cream" to rise to the top. Diplomacy
is played best as you first learned it - without time limits. Except for the Sunday round, which by necessity must be ended
by 6pm at the latest, the Dip games at Dixiecon end when someone gets 18 centers, or when everyone still alive on the board
says it ends!
Some people come because of Dixiecon's long tradition of fine play, good sportsmanship, and infectious
comradeship born of sharp play over a map of Europe.
Some people come because they want to match wits with other
games in the Iron Man of Gaming, the tournament for all the non-Diplomacy games played over the weekend.
Still
others come because of the low cost of the event - at $30 registration and $30 per night to share a room, this is easily one
of the most inexpensive venues for tournament play.
And there really are some who come, we understand, just to
eat Eastern North Carolina style barbeque on Saturday night!
Whatever you are looking for, we hope you will find
it at Dixiecon 24 this Memorial Day Weekend!
