Thanks and we hope to see you there!

Congrats on the first annual! Hit it up if your within day trip range folks as it'll be a good time.

Prepay via paypal has been added to the meetup. When you RSVP just click the "pay online now" on the top right of the page.

I'd love to go(even though 2.5 hours is quite a drive), but my parents are visiting that weekend. Maybe next year!

Even with the drive we think we can make the experience worthwhile for the C-Springs people and everyone else in the region.

I'm down in the Pueblo area, but I'm probably not going to be able to make this one. I think I'm just gonna hop on the "next year" bandwagon, given that i'm still getting settled in from my move from cleveland, but by all means, get up pics and results!

Count me in

Update: For those interested, here is the cohered scoring and tentative prize support system we've put together.

Overall score will be comprised of battle, painting and bonuses from sports. There are 99 potential battlepoints and 31 potential painting points. Fully painted armies (3 colors+base/tabletop standard) will earn most of the painting points.

There will be prize support for Overall, General, Painting and Sports. As long as attendance is good (and it's looking that way), the support from local stores and majority of the entry fees going to prize support should allow us to do 3 categories (1st/2nd/3rd) in the first three categories along with sweet trophies for 1st in each (and I'm totally serious about these trophies, they are sick).

We are considering ideas to help narrow down the painting field and make it easier on judges, so if there are any suggestions we would appreciate them. Current ideas include having players indicate that they feel their army is in contention for best painted when they arrive.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

The cost of this tournament is pretty low compared to many comparable tournaments. Certainly travel might be an issue, but it's going to be awesome!
