The "Swaggle" is the West Coast version of the East Coast "Swing". The West Coast "Swaggle" is an award given to the player that achieves the most points by attending the 4 West Coast Diplomacy Cons; Portland, Vancouver, Seattle and San Fransico.
This is the third year of the West Coast Swaggle. This is an award given to the individual accumulating the highest combined tournament standing from the West Coast Diplomacy Tournament Events for that year. In 2006 there will be four qualifying tournaments: WACcon in Seattle, Cascade Summit in Portland, Dip 'n the Ocean in Vancouver, and BadAss Whipping in San Francisco.
