Hello everyone!

I would like to announce the upcoming NOVA Open preliminary tournament, which is modeled on the soon to be announced Malifaux Midnight Madness tournament running this year on Saturday at the NOVA Open. This is a 8 person, high competition, single elimination tournament using the TP/DIFF/VP scoring system from the Malifaux Gaining Grounds tournament format.

As an added benefit, 1st place at this tournament will win one of the Malifaux Passes for the NOVA Open, granting entry to one of the Malifaux events. The specific pass will be worked out with the winner after the tournament.

Also of note, the players eliminated during the first round will still fall within the window to register and participate in the Malifaux 25ss Scrap running the same day at Huzzah.

So come out and enjoy a full day of Malifaux!!!
