I barely have the time to play friendly matches, let alone tourneys.

Plus, my LGS hasn't had a 40K tourney in MONTHS...most people around me now play Warmachine (Lame-sauce)

And if you're drinkin' well, you know that you're my friend and I say "I think I'll have myself a beer"

I am in the 9+ bracket, but that is only because I work at my local FLGS and am over the 40k section. I regularly schedule monthly tournaments.

Tourneys bring out the worse in people and suck the life out of the game, i play this for the enjoyment, a few laughs /drinks with good mates, for fun not competition

"You smell dat? Do you smell dat? Napalm, son. Nofing else in da galaxy smells like dat. I love da smell of napalm in da morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' 'ummie body. Da smell, you know dat gasoline smell, da whole hill. Smelled like... victory."

The Memphis Sprawl

This is actually the first year I've played tournaments. I played a doubles with my best friend and fellow devotee of chaos the day before I got married in April, and plan on playing in a 1500pt tourney in October that apparently has some Throne of Skulls invites attached. I wanted to hit the 'Ard Boyz prelims but nowhere in the greater Memphis area was hosting

I dont attend tourneys, I dont see the point in paying for having to be surrounded by teens who never takes a bath, or grumpy seasond gamers. And due to the sheer amounts of squig heads in my gaming circel I choose not to play with them

wow a lot zeros... so why are there so many people commenting about competitive lists in the army list section then if (looks to be) that half of all dakka users dont even attend tournaments.

You also get some comments saying "There nearest event is like 2 hours away"... thats not far at all, just make it a day trip (unless you dont have a way of transport, then i can see your problem)

Only ever played 2 tourneys. A local club thing and an ETC qualifier. I do hope our local club will start having more, as its quite enjoyable, in a relaxed environment.

English Russia.

I did 1 year of tourneys but now i stay away from them as much as I can, too much rules lawyering/cheating/bad gamesmanship/fat blokes whose shirts dont cover their belly, dont wash and smell.

Causual games and club campaign games are more fun!

Oh man, the first monster I see I'm going to sneak up behind him, whip out my wand, and shoot my magic all over his ass.
