Hey guys I am attending this tournament and thought I would post it here and pass it on. It is ran by the same people that run West Virginias premiere and blossoming gaming convention each year... Charcon. If anyone can attend I encourage you to do so.

I posted whats on the initial post here so you all can see.
The West Virginia Hobby Gaming Association is proud to announce the Spring 2010 WV State Warhammer
40K Championships!
This will be the first organized event that we will be hosting outside of CharCon and we are really excited! We are lucky to be partnering with Lost Legion Games & Comics to make this event happen. Thanks to them for their support!
And now, some details!
When: Saturday April 24th
Where: Montgomery WV in the WV Tech Ballroom
Times: Check in will start at 9AM, first games will start at 10AM
Cost: $10*
Army Values: 1750 points with standard force organization
This event will be run and judged by those CharCon staff members who are not participating in the tournament.
This is your chance to have lots of fun and grab up some bragging rights in the process! This is a great opportunity to warm up for this summers 'Ard Boyz tourneys! We at the WVHGA really want to bring together as many of the states
40K players as possible. Please plan to come out and bring your friends! SPREAD THE WORD!
PRIZES! - Lots and lots of prizes. Everyone who plays in this tournament is guaranteed to walk away with swag (must play in all three rounds)!!! There will be some really great prizes to be had, so don't miss it!
PAINTED ARMIES - We all love to see skillfully painted armies on the table. They look awesome! At the same time, we understand that some
40K players are new to the hobby or may not have developed the ability to paint those armies as well as they would like (put me in that group!). So, with that in mind, we are going to encourage everyone to bring an army that is pained with at least a three color minimum, but not require it. HOWEVER, in order to reward those of you who have taken the time to paint your armies we are going to do two things. First, the staff will be selecting a best of show and runner up army from all those that are painted (three color minimum). Next, every person who has a painted army (3 color minimum) will receive a ticket for a drawing from a prize pool that will be exclusively available for those tickets only.
Pre-Registration - We would like to have hundreds of
40K players come out, but the reality is that we simply can not handle that many. With that in mind, there will be a cap on the total number of players who can play in this event. Based on space, tables, terrain, etc. that number will fall somewhere in the 24-36 range (hopefully closer to 36). We don't want to turn anyone away and will do our best to have room for everyone, but we STRONGLY encourage you to pre-register for this event. It guarantees you a spot PLUS, it greatly helps us in planning. In order to further encourage you to pre-register, everyone who does will receive a limited edition Games Workshop miniature.
To pre-register, just shoot an email to
travis_reynolds@charcon.org letting me know you want to pre-register and I will work with you to get your information and have to send the funds via paypal.
Schedule - In order to assist you in planning out your day, here is our planned schedule. We intend to stick to this as best we possibly can.
9AM - Check in begins
10AM to Noon - First round of games
Noon to 1PM - Lunch
1PM to 3PM - Second round of games
3PM to 3:30PM - Break
3:30PM to 5:30PM - Third round of games
Prize ceremonies to begin as soon as points calculations are completed
Da Rulz - We will, for the most part, be following the most recent version of the 'Ard Boyz tourney rules. Currently that is from the 2009 'Ard Boyz Rulz. If the 2010 rules should be released in time for us to use those, we will do so. Any differences from these rules and how we will be running things will be noted in this thread (such as 1750 vs. 2500 or 2 hours vs. 2 1/2 hours). We will make sure that all differences are posted here as quickly as possible and in plenty of time for players to make any army list changes.
Scoring specifics will be posted here in detail. All scenarios and bonus point structure will be posted here for all players to view in plenty of time before the event.
In addition to the
40K tournament, we will have some open play areas available for anyone to use. If you want to play
40K, but just don't want to compete or if you want to play some other game, feel free to come on out and do so. Players are welcome to bring friends, significant others, children (if they aren't old enough to enjoy games with others, please make arrangements) or anyone else who might enjoy games. We will have a robust library of card & board games available that should contain something for just about everyone. Entry for anyone not playing in the tournament is FREE!
Lost Legion Games & Comics will be on hand all day long selling a full range of Games Workshop products, plus all of your other favorite gaming needs.
Watch this thread for additional news, including scenario announcements, prize teasers, point structure and more.
Feel free to ask questions, discuss things or generally talk smack her as well.
Look forward to seeing tons of
40k players and gamers in general on April
24th!
