40k Rogue Trader Tournament 2000 Points December 17th 12 Noon

FTW Games will be hosting a 40k Rogue Trader Tournament Saturday December 17th at noon.

We're also going to try out a new prize structure for these events, $100 minimum in store credit.

So regardless of how many people show up, the prize will be at least $100 split among the four prize winners! Of course if more that 10 people show up, then the prize pot goes up as well!

Best part is there are no sports, comp or painting score! All you have to do to take home overall is WIN WIN WIN! So bring down your painted or unpainted, and get stuck in!

1. General Information
Location: FTW Games 13176 Midlothian Turnpike Midlothian, VA 23113
Entrance Fee: $10
Prize: 100% payout as FTW Games store credit, or $100 minimum (in store credit) whichever is greater!

2. Schedule (estimate)
start @ Noon

3. Registration
This event is first come, first served. A spot may be reserved by paying the entrance fee at FTW Games in advance. No refunds. Lists may be submitted for review. Although this is encouraged, it is not required.

4. Things You Need To Bring
Each player is responsible for bringing the following items:
• Your army
• Dice (d6, scatter, and artillery)
• Measuring device(s)
• Templates and objective markers
• Three or more copies of your list. Lists must be printed and must have the stats for every unit, including saves.
• Army Book for your army. Although not required, it is suggested that you bring the current errata and FAQ material for your army.

5. Army Restrictions
2000 pts per player Standard Force Organization.

WYSIWYG: Units must be WYSIWYG. Any model that fails to meet this requirement will be instantly removed from play (at your opponent’s discretion). Conversions and ‘counts as’ are allowed within reason (judges’ discretion).

Painted: Armies do not need to be painted to play or win overall, but wouldn't it be sweet to have a whole painted army to play with. Painted figures play better!

6. Bracketing
Opponents will be randomly determined for the first round. Swiss pairing (using just the gaming score) will occur in the second and final round.

7. Prizes
All entrance fee money will be "the pot", even from those that drop out. This money will be divided among the top winners as follows:

Overall Champion: 40%. This is the player with the most overall points, includes the battle points for all three rounds.
2nd (Best General): 30%.
3rd: 20%
Player’s Choice Award: 10% Each player will have the opportunity to rank each of the armies they have fought against using a simple checklist.


If a player wins multiple awards they will only receive the award with the highest prize and the award for any other category they have won will go to the runner up in that category.

Call me stupid, but how can you have a 2000pt limitiation on points if you are playing Rogue Trader, which HAD NO POINTS>

Or, your tourny name needs to be changed to reflect that it isn't playing RT, but is playing 40k 5th ed.

Rogue Trader Tournament is the basic "name" for most 40k tournaments since the early 2000's in the USA.

It is not playing by Rogue Trader rules from 1988, which required- heck stuff you cant even use in tournament play, like a Game Master for instance, lol.

Sorry for the mix up there, trust me its pretty standard terminology.

What is the time allotted for each round and what style of missions will there be?
