A note about this years War Room: We’re experimenting with a six-day War Room this year, based on the past several years room utilization counts and this years Sunday being on a Holiday, with the possibility of returning to seven days in the future.

If you are still on-site on Sunday you will be able to setup and game in any of the main gaming spaces, its just the dedicated room will not be available
