Malifaux
(all weekend)
2014 was an exciting year for Malifaux at CaptainCon and in 2015 we’re going to have an even bigger and better presence. Most notably, CaptainCon has been selected to host a National Qualifier for the North American NoVA Malifaux Championship during Labor Day weekend 2015.

Thanks to the local Henchmen, we will also be hosting a weekend-long Malifaux Team Competition. Round up your friends into a team of 3 players to register for this event and compete over the weekend to earn points, bragging rights, and prizes. The BEST TEAM award will be given Sunday evening at 5pm as part of the closing ceremonies.

Each team must nominate one member as the Team Captain to be the point of contact with organizers for all things related to the team challenge – reporting on scoring and having the final say on team matters.

Here’s how you earn points:

+5 points if all members of the team back the Kickstarter and pre-register
+2 points for each team member who backs the Kickstarter at the CREW throuhg SENIOR OFFICER level
+6 points for each team member backing the Kickstarter at the CAPTAIN level or higher
+3 points for each team member playing in a Malifaux tournament with a fully painted army
+3 points for having a team member place 1st in any Malifaux event
+2 points for having a team member place 2nd in any Malifaux event
+1 point for having a team member place 3rd in any Malifaux event
-3 points for having a team member finish last (or drop from) any Malifaux event
+10 points for having a team shirt/uniform made specifically for CaptainCon (must have something that says CaptainCon 2015 specifically)
+5 points for having a Malifaux-themed team chant and singing it one or more times during the weekend

Note: This is not the same points system as the Captain’s Log, but there will be prizes here as well, so gather your Malifaux crew and join us at CaptainCon.
