Hey, I'm Mike Somerville, I won Best Imperial Guard.
I got zero sportsmanship votes, apparently I was an ass or something?

In any case, the ork players did do surprisingly well. I was surprised at how incredibly awful most of the BA players did.

Some of you seem surprised that people brought "rough" or "hard" lists, this is a tournament, what did you expect?

And, hey Reecius, it was nice to meet you on Saturday.

That's a silly way to look at it. You only got points if your opponent's voted you their favorite opponent of the tournament. So even if you were incredibly nice if all 5 of your opponents had other games against even friendlier people then youself then you'd still get no sportsmanship points.

In other words, this system rewards exceptional sportsmanship rather than punishing general douche-baggery.

Exactly. I was surprised to get three votes. I would have been happy with one or two, certainly.

The spreadsheet's aa bit of fun to play with. I wonder how Rankings would sort it. If you sort by Overall Points, then by skulltaker points, the top twenty goes:

1. Doug Johnson, Orks, 17 total, 5450 skulls
2. Tony Grippando, Orks, 16 total, 5778 skulls
3. George Mason, BA, 16 total, 4200 skulls
4. John Hermann, GK, 15 total, 4771 skulls
5. Garye Lawrence, SM, 15 total, 4572 skulls
6. Adam Gati, Eldar, 15 total, 4153 skulls
7. Ragnar Arneson, CSM, 14 total, 4985 skulls
8. Geoffrey Zatkin, Orks, 14 total, 3963 skulls
9. Michael Somerville, IG, 13 total, 6426 skulls
10. Jonathon Wong, SM, 13 total, 4676 skulls
11. Tony Kopach, SW, 12 total, 6360 skulls
12. Chris Shriner, GK, 12 total, 5715 skulls
13. Dave Walz, Eldar, 12 total, 4965 skulls
14. Dustin Poston, DoC, 12 total, 4744 skulls
15. Toby Walker, Eldar, 12 total, 3126 skulls
16. Alex Fennell, CSM, 12 total, 2601 skulls
17. Russell Jacobsen, SW, 11 total, 5373 skulls
18. Marshall Reeves, IG, 11 total, 5302 skulls
19. Matthew Lau, Eldar, 11 total, 5194 skulls
20. Casey McNamara, SW, 11 total, 5080 skulls

@saint omervill
Nice to meet you as well! And Congrats on first fishing well.

@gz
I got an ork army! Haha, I will be joining the green tide soon!

Has anyone who ordered a shirt at the event heard anything about the status of their order?

Anyone talk to the RHQ guys about posting the results of this Tournament? I wouldn't know how to submit these results on there excel submission they have. You've got overall scores, best Generals and so on, but the Throne went to the best margin of victory so I don't have a clue what would be the way to do this.

@Reece - any thoughts?

No dark eldar in the top 20? Wow. Anyone want on shed some light on why that is? Did no one bring them?

If anyone knows anything about being an ass, it is Spencer.

I've played you MIke, I thought you were a nice guy and a great opponent. I can't imagine you being an ass.....as someone else posted, it's all about who is friendlist and the most fun....

Only five people brought Dark Eldar. A few were right on the cusp of the top 20, and the army had the second highest average score next to Orks. I haven't checked the scores recently but I think we were all within 2 points of each other; scoring an 11, 10, 10, 10 & 9.

Dugg, I'm going to try submitting it over to Rankings (now that their site's back up; it was down for ~ a week). I think probably the best way to represent the event's scoring priorities is sorting the spreadsheet by Grand Total, then by Skulltaker points.

Anyone have a better idea?

@ Mannahnin, That would be awesome of you. I think that would work as long as you can add in all the Best Codex Generals, Best Painters and Throne Winners. Which ever way you think is best within RHQs excel sheet.

Anyone get their shirt yet? Anyone coming back to Vegas in November for Neoncon?
