Bay Area Summer Smackdown 1750pt Warhammer 40k Tournament, May 19th-20th

Entry Fee: $15 (Pre-registration required)

Schedule:
3 rounds Saturday - 10:30am start
2 rounds Sunday & awards - 10:30am start

Painting is not a requirement, but fully painted armies will receive additional points in their overall score.

Bay Area Open Scenario: The Bay Area Open scenario is all three book missions, played simultaneously. There are 2 Capture and Control Objectives on 40mm bases, 3 Seize Ground objectives on 25mm bases, and kill points as victory conditions. Whichever player achieves more victory conditions, wins. In the case of an equal number of victory conditions between players, the game is a tie. Follow all rules for placing objectives as outlined in the book. Seize ground objectives are placed first, before rolling for first turn and deployment as normal. Capture and control objectives must be the standard distance from one another and at least 12″ from a Seize Ground objective. After each game, Victory Conditions will be tallied, and the total amount earned in all games will be used for tie breakers.

All, current codexes and White Dwarf armies (currently only Sisters of Battle) will be playable. We are NOT allowing Imperial Armor Apocalypse Second Edition units or any forge world rules in the event.

Rules issues will be dealt with swiftly by either one of our roaming judges or by asking the sitting judge handling data entry. We have a clear hierarchy for our rules disputes. All issues will be dealt with in this order, and all judgments are final.

1. GW official rules.
2. GW official FAQs and Erratas.
3. INAT FAQ.
4. Consensus of those judges present at the time of the incident.

WYSIWYG

All models are expected to be WYSIWYG as much as is reasonable. Proxies are not permitted. However, counts as armies are acceptable and encouraged. What’s the difference? That can be a tough call to make in some cases. Judges will determine what is acceptable or not and all judgments are final. If you feel your army is questionable, contact a TO in advance to clear any confusion.
Proxies: Using Necron Warriors as Lootas in an Ork army, etc.

Counts As: Using Ultra Marines colored models with Blood Angels rules. Using custom Adeptus Mechanicus converted models with Daemon rules. The key is that everything is easily identifiable and appropriately equipped.

It's set up for 5 rounds, so I'd guess 32. They ran another two-day tourney a few months ago (Storm the Kastle) and that was planned for 32, I believe.

Theirs 36 spots ill be running it, call in to hold your spots
