Also I think the format is something like this:

Two teams are paired up.

The team Captains meet and dice off.

Losing Captain submits the first list from his team. Winning Captain counters with one of his lists - and then submits a list from his team for matchup two. Losing Captain Counters and submits - back and forth until all 5 pair ups are established.

I think there is also a mechanic around the winning captain being able to swap two lists around at the end - but not sure on that.

I personally am intrigued by this format - it brings an element of strategy in the matchups - as well as the player vs. player games.

Lists really need to be all comer lists to handle this....

Also will be some interesting strategy in the known matchups. Do you throw your strongest player against a Marc Parker - or do you sacrifice your weakest list/player to hope for a win elsewhere...

Regardless - I think that the opportunity to see some dandy matchups of highly talented players/teams exists if enough interest is generated.

The SEIGE has been a blast the past two years. Shane and Mel have put on nothing but great events as long as I've known them so I am stoked for this year. .

Is there any comp or any soft scores?

The format sounds sweet! We have a team from NorCal with 3 definites, and 2 maybes with some backups. I will say we will most likely be there in force to represent the Bay!

NM, it says no soft scores no comp in the rules.

Awesome! This sounds like the kind of event we like around here. No comp, great, simple missions, and the pairing up mechanic between teams sounds like a fun game unto itself.

Oh yeah, and the sound is pretty awful. That is the number one thing people complain about on a web-page.

Shane! Kill the sound man....Kill the sound!!!!

I'm getting super stoked about this one, I hope we have a lot of teams there. They are talking about making this an annual event, that would rock!

Since I'll be on one of the hometown teams I have to represent!

like Viking raiders, we hope to have some Teams from the ATL & Giga-Bites in particular going up. Have one team almost set and working on a second

Sgt, why is your flag showing Ireland? lol

He is representing his home country instead of his residence country on dakka! Usurper!

I demand a sandwich with eggs on it now!

On a serious note, Sergeant Horse if you guys need any help to get a team, just tell your guys that it's a chance to beat on Wiley, I'm sure that will get them to come to this event!

Wiley beating is a long held, if not somewhat simple, tradition we hold dear here in Tennesse.

I am truly sorry about the sound...there is a little music note hidden on the castle wall to the right. Click it to turn off the sound.
The site is one of those "cookie cutter" deals and to get the sound off, we have to re-do the entire thing...which we will do ASAP.

This. My brother and I make the drive any time we can. And we hope to be attending the ATC - gotta touch base with some folks up in TN.

Any event that Dicehead touches is a good one. They do more than any other store I can think of to promote the hobby. Grand Adventures is the only other one that I can think of. They are great people who understand tourneys. You will not be disappointed.

NEW WEBSITE - NO SOUND!

Any list of the teams that are pre-registered yet?

I may have to at least attend the Siege this year. It'd be good to see Brother Sabote!

I too agree Shane is a stand up guy. I played at the event last year, and it was very well run and had a nice venue to boot.
My coverage of the event is here. http://blog.spikeybits.com/search/label/The%20Seige

I pinged Shane to let him know about the question of registered teams. Think he had a doubles tourney this weekend - which probably kept him hopping. Hopefully he can get on and do the full rundown. I'm just helping him to get the word out and not really part of the tournament other than bringing a team.

As far as I know there are the following people going/or expressing interest:

Blade and Bolter (two teams)
WileyTheNord (will most likely pull together a team of baby seals for us to club)
Wrecking Crew (1-2 teams)
Da boyz (maybe a team)
Team Toledo (or whatever they call themselves - Greg Sparks and company - sounded pretty interested and should be a top team)
Adeptus Windy City (maybe)
Atlanta area (has several clubs - so 1-4 teams are possible there)
Don't know if SpikeyBits will do a team or not
You guys on the West Coast from here (which would be cool)

Have sent invites our to a few other clubs (Battle for Salvation, BOLS, Nova guys, YTTH) but no response there.



Did I miss anyone?

Warmongers, Cold Steel Mercs, BoLS, Da Boyz...

What size limit for this tournament? If i do not register quickly, is there any danger of the event filling up?

We have a group from Birmingham pre-registered.

Do these guys have teams and are they pre-registered? I had contacted 'Da Boyz and BOLS - but didn't know anyone in Warmongers and Cold Steel.....


Awesome if they are coming!

5 man to a club team. Each team member has a 2K list. No duplicate codex's allowed on each team. So 1 Space marine, 1 space wolf, 1 BA, etc....

Not sure of the exact number of pre-regs. Sounds like Eldanar has and I know I have....Wrecking Crew is talking two teams. My local club is working to get a second as well.

I know my group ha another team, possibly two on the way.

Need more n00bs.

Okay I am not sure if I can make the DaBoyz thing happen. I have 3 maybe at best and me as definative. I need EVERYONE to get on the Daboyz site and "encourage" them to come!!

We are looking like a 90% yes for a NorCal California team.

Gotta make it happen. This is for all the really heavy hitters.

Awesome Reecius - gotta make sure the West Coast is represented.

What time does this event end on Sunday? Just asking for flight purposes.

Talked to Shane this afternoon. Progress for the tournament is good.

Currently 10 teams registered as definates.

I know of 4 others that are pretty much definates but haven't formally reserved yet.

Believe the cap for teams has been raised to a max of 40 - which is 200 players total. Pretty sweet if it gets there.

Twenty teams looks to be very attainable for sure.

Good turn out!

Not sure on ending time - would assume late afternoon/early evening.

Chattanooga is about 2 hours from Nashville and 2 hours from Atlanta (maybe a little longer to ATL airport) on a Sunday based on my experience.

Ok, some updates:
I have re-worked the scoring system to be a little more forgiving than just Win/Loss but I believe that it will make the event even more competitive and fun!

The Mission and Scoring (So Far):

There will be 3 Primary Mission Goals in Every Mission:

Goal #1 - Two objectives for Capture and control

Goal #2 - Three objectives for Seize Ground (separate from C&C)

Goal #3 - Kill Points

Achieving more of these goals than your opponent wins the game.

There will be 6 games so each deployment (Spearhead, Dawn of War and Pitched Battle) will be used twice each throughout the tournament.
Seize The Initiative and Random Game Length will be used in every round.

SCORING:
Each Mission Goal will be Worth 10 Game Points if Achieved, 5 Game Points if Drawn, 0 Game Points if not achieved.
So, Possible Game Points EACH Round is 30 Maximum, 0 Minimum.

Example Possible Results :
A.) Player 1 Wins Kill Points, Player 2 Wins C&C, Both Players Draw Seize Ground - Total Game Points Player 1 (15), Player 2 (15)
B.) Player 1 Wins Kill Points and C&C, Both Players Draw Seize Ground - Total Game Points Player 1 (25), Player 2 (5)
C.) Player 1 Wins Kill Points, Neither Player Wins C&C or Seize Ground - Total Game Points Player 1 (10), Player 2 (0)

If Necessary at the end of the ATC Event, Overall Victory Points will be used as a tie-breaker.

OTHER STUFF

1 - I had stated that there would be no additional charge for the Friday Night Team Tournament in an earlier post. This is incorrect. It will be an Additional $20 per 2-man team for the Friday Night Doubles Event.

2 - The Special $200 Team Price for ATC pre-reg will end on March 20th. After that, the Price is $225 per team. There is a maximum number of 40 Teams. As of now, 12 teams have confirmed and with all the chatter on the forums 20 Teams is very realistic within the next few weeks.

3 - There are other events taking place at SIEGE including 40k doubles, and Rogue Trader and 'Ard Boyz Style Events for Both 40k and Fantasy, plus Warmachine, Flames of War, Malifaux and Dystopian Wars and TONS of other things like RPGS and Board Games and Console X-BOX 360 tournaments. The 40k and Fantasy Events should be updated on the site by this weekend so anyone not in the ATC event will have plenty of other chances to play in some great events!

4 - The Venue (The Chattanooga Choo Choo) IS a Hotel. $89 a night and you can basically roll out of bed and into the gaming hall (although clean gamers are preferred)
