I just looked in the EGD to see if I had been there, and the answer is ...

yes I played there in the 2006 tournament.
I was 10k back then and won 2 out of 4. (I still have the badge with my name and rank )

If I have time I might go this year again, but I will probably decide only a few day's in advance. I'm 1d now, so would be nice to get a 1d badge
