Reece, whats the deadline for singning up for the Fantasy event?

Hey Bud,

No deadline. We have 32 Fantasy tickets up for sale, if we sell out early, we'll add 32 more slots, if not, we'll sell tickets up to the day of the event. However, we will be increasing ticket prices as we get closer to the event.

I hope you can make it out!

Are the army lists from the IA books allowed in the team tourney?

Not knocking the group or anything but I don't see them on the list of "top clubs" even in the US:

Our club for the most part is new, we're more then likely not even on there as a team. As individually players however, 3 of us are in the top 50 in the US. Frankie had been number 1 for quite some time back in May, along with Reece in the top 5 around that same period of time.

3 of us are in the top 5 for the South West ranking area.

Rankingshq isnt much, but being the only "ranking" we have for 40k it is pretty cool to look at.

@Dok
No, only units. Thanks for pointing that out, I will update it on the rules section.

@Buzerker
I had never even heard of the Club ranking system! Haha

We have never registered in events as a club, so that is why we aren't on there. But as Will said, we have won or placed top 10 in many big events, for what that's worth.

@Reece, Sign us up as a club. I think its pretty easy and we can see where we stand. It dosent matter too much but I always thought RankingnsHQ was a fun thing.

I'll be signing up for the event right after New Years and looking forward to it. Is it going to be in the same place? I thought the location was great last time.

Yeah, same place, Grimgob. We really like the venue, too, and it allows us to keep our ticket price the lowest of any major GT, while also having as good or better prize support, which is awesome.

Then we will start signing up for events as a team/club from now on so we can start tracking our stats. RankingsHQ is a lot of fun, and we all do well individually, might as well group our rankings together to get recognition for our team!

@Reece: That's too bad. The Eldar corsair army looked like it would be interesting to play

Oh, I agree. But one step at a time, you know? People reacted pretty strongly to ia2 units. This year we'll dip our toe in the water, see how it goes and hopefully open things up for next year.

Are you playing in the singles and doubles this year?

I'm waiting on my vacation to get approved, but me and my buddy were thinking of heading up after work Thursday to play in the doubles on friday. It sounds pretty fun.

Awesome! The doubles is going to be a blast, we think it is going to be a really popular event.

The question is, how many necrons can I model high fiving blood angels before march...

Hahaha!

That really suck, I was really planning to go and play with my Black Templars with all the new FW toys. I would like to see a single tournament with IA2 allowed. I'm just sad to see players killing the game with something that they are either afraid or don't know the rules.

I think in time we will see it become a regular part of the game. We just tried to jump into the deep end of the pool a little too fast, I think.

Sometimes its the best way to do it........jump in and ask question later.

Just got the confirmation from the wife. I will be there with Dok for all 3 days of 40k madness!

Awesome! Looking forward to having you!

Ah. Easy fix then.

You don't need to register in events as a club. You simply go to Rankings HQ, register under your name (if you haven't done so already) and specify that you are a member of Team Zero Comp. Then all other members who do the same will contribute to this new club ranking. I suggest you all do so and see where you are ranked. Should be fun.

Cool, we will definitely do that! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I read it the other night. I think Reece has to register the club in his name, then some how we can request to be members by looking up the club on RHQ, Reece then has has to accept our request, and then it adjusts the ranking based on everyone accepted in the club.

Well gak we should get on that then haha.

I will do that today! I think we will rank really high between the guys in the club considering most of us are in the top 50.

yep you shood .
i still have not seen any poast for the Komicosy or grand whaag on HQrankins .

i will be seeing you there with me orks once more lol

Yeah, RankingsHQ changed their upload process and I still have not sat down to figure it out, I think you have to upload the results twice or something. The first time nothing happened.

Looking forward to having you, madfjohn!

Big announcement!!!

Best of Army Prizes

This is a great idea introduced to us by Kasil, one of our blog readers. This is a prize given to the person who performs best with their army. So, the best Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolf, Space Marine, Black Templar, Tau, Sisters of Battle, Imperial Guard, Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Daemons, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Necrons and Tyranid player will receive a prize and the knowledge that they were the best player of that army at the Bay Area Open!

Prize: A trophy proclaiming their accomplishment and a Battleforce of their choice!
If this player wins another prize, they will still get the trophy, but will receive the larger prize of the two they win, not both.

Glad your doing the Best Army catagory...I think it will give us 2nd tier players something to shoot for thats within our grasp.

Question thats been bugging me: Why 1750 pts.? I was under the impression that 1850 was the standard for 40k...

To be clear I'm not complaing, just curious why that number chosen.

The best of army idea is awesome. I mean, I'm planning to win overall, but that's definitely a good consolation prize to people that drop a game early and want to keep playing.

We did it on purpose. They're not allowed to win any prizes . Just messing around we just forgot about them.
