Changes that took place in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

Multi-session Variants AKA Leagues 01/03/2012
There have been a number of different proposals for multi-session V:TES events or Leagues. This page will endeavor to collect the ones that have had rules explained for them. Single session variants are archived on the Variants page. Many cities have reported playing Leagues on the VEKN.net forums, but few had special rules that are easily reproduced here. Many of them seemed to simply be a record games played and victory points and game wins. Contact me if you have played in a league with specific rules that should be archived here.The league about to start in Atlanta, Georgia is The Battle for Atlanta 2012.
