Plane tickets are getting cheaper....Is SFO the closest airport to you guys Reecius? I might still be able to make it!

OAK is probably the closest to the actual event, but SFO, SJC, and OAK are within a very small radius of each other.

Good to know, it's down to around $380 to fly into SFO now so depending on what my OT looks like in June I might be making it

Keep an eye on Southwest into Oakland; it's often significantly cheaper than SFO.

I don't think Southwest flys out of Minneapolis

But i'm keeping an eye out. They've already dropped almost $150 since the first time I checked.

You think incorrectly, according to their website. MSP (Terminal 2) to OAK is $159 (and up) each way at the moment.

Well then they are never a deal according to Expedia or Travelocity!

Southwest ONLY lists on their own website; they (and JetBlue, whom you should also check separately) aren't aggregated by the travel sites.

The more you know!

You're my friend forever now Janth!!!!!!!

Not only that, but bags fly free on Southwest so you can check your bag and carry on you army.

Also if the prices drop even farther you can get the new price without a change fee.

Damn, plane tickets jumped back up to almost $500 overnight

Southwest is doesn't fly out sunday evening so their out. I'll keep an eye out though

A video interview of some of the Adepticon finalists, including yours truly!

The Independent characters will be covering the finals of our event. Check out their website for some more cool video coverage of Adpeticon to get an idea of what it will be like at the Bay Area Open.

For whatever reason, plane tickets are usually at their cheapest in the middle of the week, late at night. Keep checking back!

Battle Bunker Games, formerly Gamers Guild, in Antioch, CA will be hosting a Friday night (July 29th) meet and greet for our event! It is a great, newly renovated store with a ton of space for gaming and some old school Battletech gaming machines! The kind you get inside and play.

The store is right next to the Days Inn and Suites where a lot of guys will be staying and super close to the event location.

Hey Reecius I was just curious when we have to submit our army lists?

We'll send out an email when it comes time. No worries, you still have a while to go.

Ok cool working out the kinks in my list haha.

Damn, I really would like to go, but would rather travel with somebody. How many tickets are left still?

Blasto, Me and my wife are going. Maybe you could carpool with us. PM later.

OMG REALLY? I may come in just for that!

That friday are we playing 40k at all? Or just hanging out?

7 game tournament, Blasto - do you REALLY want to play more?

@Blasto
Yes, there will be gaming that night, although it will be of the informal, pick-up variety.

@Whitedragon
Yes, they are awesome! They have a lot of them too, so you can waste each other in some hot Mech on Mech combat!

Are tickets still availible?

Question about bracket points, and apologies if these have been answered somewhere else:

For 'Head Hunter', a player has to kill the enemy's highest-point-cost HQ. If I'm facing, say, a Dark Eldar player who has a single HQ choice, an Archon or something, and also a Haemonculus Ancient and Haemonculus whose individual costs are less than, but whose total points add up to more than, the other HQ choice, do I have just have to kill the Archon, as the highest-point-cost HQ model, or do I have to kill both of the Haemonculi, as the highest-point-cost HQ Choice?

For 'Preserve your Forces', is it half rounded up, or rounded down? If I have five troops choices, do I have to have at least three still alive to get the point, or is two enough?

For 'King of the Hill', I presume that we're not talking about being 'fully within' 6" of the center, that is, if one model from the unit is within the distance then the point is earned, the same way that if one Ork is within range of the KFF the whole unit gets the save?

Thanks!

As of Sunday, Reecius mentioned that there were still ~40 40k slots available.

Thanks Janthkin.

As he said, yes, still plenty of spots left for 40K, but tickets are being bought every day, so don't wait if you want to come.

@Disdainful.
1.) The single MODEL, unless that model is with a retinue (IG CCS) in which case you must kill the squad.

2.) Rounded down.

3.) Partially within 6"

Thanks for asking those questions, I will address them in the tournament website.

Awesome, thanks! I figured getting some clarifications now would be preferable to having to deal with it when it might matter for someone, and I know from experience that these kind of tiebreakers are very important in a format like this.

Definitely looking forward to it; now I just have to get the paintbrush moving, or it's going to be default Orks for me!

-Dis.

Got my ticket, DA BULLY BOYZ are coming! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

Looking forward to having you!
