Interesting; the Sportsman scores were relatively consistent.

For those who attended, was this due to the Sportsmanship scoring system, or was everyone pretty much nice?

Sportsmanship across most (all?) the systems went to a 7-item checklist. From memory:

1) Was my opponent on time?
2) Did they bring their crap?
3) Did they play at a reasonable pace?
4) (Something or other fairly yes/no'ish)
5) Did we resolve rules disputes without bloodshed?
6) Did I have fun?
7) Would I play them again?

Maybe we got lucky. On the whole my opponents were good and competitive, but not jerks.

This is my third Adepticon, and I had more rules disputes at this Adepticon than I have had at the other two combined (The big one where it cost me the game was that Farseers get in Inv save from PotW).


In the invitational I should realized that every point counts, and by not flying my Falcon into “The Blaze” it cost me 6 points and I would have gone from 8th place to 4th. I also messed up in my second game by making a mental error by not shooting a squad of genestealers with my Falcon instead of shooting at a Carnifex and that mistake turned a win into a tie. I always say that the difference between the top players and the middle players is that they top players don’t make mistakes.

do you know if the updated the GW page as well?

"I always say that the difference between the top players and the middle players is that they top players don’t make mistakes."

Close Go ranks are determined by that sort of thing as well. After a certain point you really get punished hard for very small lapses in judgement.

Agreed!

why cant they add the "army played" ?

Yeah I like the way they did sportsman ship. It was very clear cut, with lots of yes or no answers

The team names just made me spit coffee all over my monitor. Awesome.

Two tau one cup is a highlight.
