Looks like they screwed up some of states listed though, at least the ones for NY (unless there is a Rochester, NJ). Very possible that there might be other errors.

Let us know if you find any more than that one that should be in New York and I'll get it passed over to our web guy to correct and update.

I just verified all of the NJ locations. The only one that should be NY is Rochester.

I don't see Off The Wall games listed for MA, which is where I will be playing.

Found 20 that need fixing by running the zipcodes. Here's the excel:

There isn't one in St. Louis anywhere?

Phone numbers are wrong too. But its GW, what else do you expect but crappy service.

Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. You have a GW employee in this thread who has asked for community feedback and this is all you can post. Go Spam somewhere else.

I signed up to play at the Naperville, IL GW store and it isn't listed. Strange.

Fat Ogre in The Woodlands, TX didn't even know they were listed. The owner would have run it if he was given more of a notice; or any notice for that matter.

How come this was such a 'stealth' event? Would've been nice to have more than a months notice. Maybe next time.

Hmmmmm, only two locations in Iowa, one of which is in a city I don't think I've ever heard of. I fear it may get crowded at my FLGS.

I think the 40K ard boy was a last minute decision for GW US. I think they had planned on only doing the WFB one this year, but the response was so good last year they changed their minds. That's my take.

I dont see GW Hobby Center Rice Village in Houston TX Listed... which I am signed up for.

Utah seems setup correctly.

No idea if Hastur's is doing anything or not.

Good thing is Endzone isn't running the semi-finals. Whether the other place doing it will do a good job is beyond me, MG tried to get it but trade sales gave it to the new store. Guess we'll see if the weirdness I experienced at the store translates into a bad semi-finals. Here's hoping the anti-me plan at MG goes forward and everyone brings a ton of Bright Lances! lol

The list is missing two of the three Las Vegas locations.
1. Little Shop of Magic Buffalo and Durango
2. Action sports and Comics Lake Mead and Boulder Highway.

It is a little odd that the only store listed is the one that is chargeing $25 to play and the two that are doing the tournament for free aren't listed. I know at least one store bought the promo pack.

Hopefully GW will get things together with the website in general it should be a resource for gamers not a source of frustration and confusion.

I just checked again and the Little shop of Magic is listed in Las Vegas.
I apoligize for the mistake.

Are any GW stores listed? The store I'm playing at in CT isn't listed either...

Chris, can your web guy update the site to include GW stores, or a note to say they are all taking part if thats the case?

Thanks for the heads up and diligence, all.

I'm passing this thread to our VP of Trade so he can help get things sorted, updated, and accurate.

If more errors pop-up, please let us know. I'll post when the updated list goes live.

Castle Perilous is in Carbondale Indiana, not Michigan. Also Google Maps gives them a different address than listed on the GW site.

Comix Zone is in Syracuse New York, not Michigan. Address does appear accurate according to Google Maps.

The Compleat Strategist is in New York, not Michigan. Address does appear accurate according to Google Maps.

Those are just the errors for Michigan that I noticed. Are there other stores in Michigan that aren't listed and these were accidently put in place possibly?

GW stores do not participate. The 'Ard Boyz is something Trade Sales does for Independant Retailers?

The manager at the CT is taking sign-ups for the event and says he's confirmed as a location running it (though he's not listed on the site). The website spiel also says that GW hobby centres (do they mean stores?) take part...

I believe that the Bunkers are running the Ard boys events this season also.

No love for us. No love for "The Lou."

None last time, either... The GW store at Mills Mall ran what they THOUGHT was to be one... turned out they were wrong. Ticked off my buddy, too. He was s'posed to go to round 2, based on that tourney.

Wait...
What?

Charging to play? I thought the 'Ardboys tourney was free, per GW.

The GW employees monitoring this thread might want to have a look at the dude charging to play there!

Eric

Gamenight in West Barnstable, MA is not listed either

Mine has the wrong address. The Correct address is
Purple Dragon Games
1126 E 3300 S
Salt Lake City, UT 84106

I haven't been at the address listed in over a year.

Another thing to add, I don't know if the listed tournament stores are even correct. I just called one (Hi-Way Hobby House in Ramsey, NJ) and they told me that they are definitely not hosting the tournament this year.

The policy in place is stores are not supposed to be charging for entrance into the event. However, there may be other items they plan to provide that they could charge for (food, t-shirts, etc). If the Dakka community would like to provide a list of stores that are purported to be charging entrance into the event, I'll make sure it gets passed on to the Trade team to look at.

"I now can take registration. This year there is a $25 entry fee but with that you recieve a special ard boyz tournament t shirt. Prizes are as followed 1st place recieves a battalion second place recieves a regiment up to $40 and third will recieve a blister of choice. The top three will then be able to go on to the semicfinals to be announced later. Hurry and get in because we only have 10 slots available."
