The 2024 Netrunner World Championship is fast approaching! To help everyone plan their time in San Francisco, we would like to share the planned schedule for all NSG-organized events happening during the weekend.
Please note that these times are not set in stone and are subject to change as the weekend unfolds; tournament organizers will keep attendees in the loop at the event, so be sure to stay tuned while at the venue or check the announcements channel in the Worlds 2024 Discord Server.
If you would like to know what the prizes are for the weekend, check out the prize support article, which now has images of all of the card prizes.
All weekend
Community-Run Side Events
Players are encouraged to run their own side-events all throughout the weekend. If you want to organize a side event, or participate in one, check out the appropriate channel of the Worlds 2024 Discord Server. Organizers should post side events they want to run before the actual tournament dates, especially if you or participants need to bring extra decks or materials.
