 National Coordinators (NCs)

National coordinators are appointed through the princes they represent.
This is a relatively informal process and princes are able to raise concerns they have through the V:EKN (Chairman/Vice Chairman or other suitable position) .
National coordinators represent their constituency or players at an international level both on the V:EKN forums and at meetings between the Inner Circle and the national coordinators.

 Princes

A prince can only be appointed by the national coordinator of his or her country or a member of the Inner Circle.
Responsibilities for a prince are set out on the V:EKN website but include having a strong familiarity with the game, ruling and errata, organising players and tournaments in their area, reporting tournaments and promoting the game to a wider audience.
