Hello Dakka!

Our next event is coming up two Saturdays from now on May 12, just in time for a bunch of new Necron shenanigans!

We'll be doing another round of Massacre/Major/Minor scoring, though this one might be the last hurrah for that format before switching to something else.

Points level is 2000 points.

Sportsmanship will be scored separately for purposes of the Sportsmanship award. I'm going to have a simple one-warning system for questionable behavior. If a played has a legitimate complaint levied against them for unsportsmanlike play, they'll be notated as such, and any subsequent legitimate complaints will result in the player in question being asked to leave the event.

Scenarios will again be "from the book" with some minor special rules here and there to spice things up. We will be using an 'Ard Boyz style Massacre-Major-Minor-Draw scoring setup. Don't worry though.. there won't be anything silly like Victory Points! Tiebreakers will be scenario bonus points first, followed by strength of schedule, followed by Kill Points earned during the event.

There are some basic requirements for armies. Armies must be comprised of a majority of models from the relevant codex, and fully assembled with all primary wargear represented on the model. WYSIWYG is the rule. I will make exceptions for conversion and 'counts-as' work if notified in advance, so I can take a look at the models in question and decide whether to allow them or not. If you're not sure about something, please let me know beforehand. You can contact me at the store, information below. The Rule of Awesomeness applies here, which is, of course, the more awesome (Jawsome?) your model is, the less likely I or your opponents are going to complain about it, so convert and counts-as competently, please!

I will be keeping strict watch of the round times during the event, and I will be walking around the tables during games to help keep people on track. Games that do not go for a minimum of four full turns will not be scored and count as a loss for both players.

The top place goes to the best Battle Points, who will take home the championship trophy and the lion's share of the prize support. The player with the highest Sportsmanship total takes home the sportsmanship prize, and the player with the best painting score takes home the painting prize. There is always at least $150 in GW product up for grabs as guaranteed prize support, with additional store credit prizes depending on attendance, and the ever popular random door prizes.

For the tournament there is a $10 entry (or $20 purchase) to play. The doors will be open early for players to come in and get set up. As usual, I want to kick this one off as close to 10:00am as possible so we don't go too long. The last one wrapped at about 6:30.

The schedule will stick as closely as possible to the following:

8:30ish - 9:30 - Show up early, have donuts with Travis (B&C donuts on Alta Dena and Foothill is particularly good for those of you in a generous mood! ), talk shop, lament the sad lack of a new Tau codex/the newest FAQ nonsense/6th ed rumors
9:30am - 10:00 - check-in, sign-up, event preamble, pairings
10:00am - 12:15pm - Round 1
12:15 - 1:00 - Lunch
1:00 - 3:45 - Round 2
4:00 - 6:15 - Round 3
6:30 - Winners announced

It all goes down at Game Empire Pasadena:

Please let me know here or on the tournament thread on the Game Empire forums if you're planning on attending so I can get a rough idea what to expect. You can RSVP on Game Empire's facebook as well. If you RSVP on facebook, I'll give you a free candy and soda during the event! (Just remember to ask me about it, because I will totally forget/not know that you RSVP'd by the time we're halfway through the tournament!)

If you have any comments or questions, let me know here or give a call to the store, and hopefully I'll see you there!
-Dis.

I will probably come through to lay some smack down.

Just out of curiosity, why is round two a half hour longer than the others?

It's a secret to everybody, duh!

Maybe someone will actually *bring* Necrons. Have they even appeared since the book's release? Unless I missed 'em in Feb or March?

I would bring them, but they would be woefully unpainted and not modelled properly. After the beating Emil put on me last night I'm considering it

You got whupped? Man, I miss everything!


Yeah, Emil's 18 Wraiths are no joke.

Well, I got beat up for a while, then managed to pull out a draw somehow. Mephiston ftd!

Not looking good for me being able to make this one

I might make this one.

2k points wasnt so good for my orks.

Maybe its time from Chaos, unless my 4th battlewagon is at the post office right now.

You can borrow my grey knights. I heard that was a popular army?!

Pity, but family first! Have a good weekend!

Results? I hear my 3 Land Raider loan to Phaze24 didn't pan out too well.

Andy got 1st, I got sportsman, and I think Eric got painting.
