It will be interesting to see how that list does. There was a guy last year that ran Flyrants and summoning demons that did very well. How do you think you will do against sky hammer and and gladius? Couldn't one cullexus really screw up your day?
I don't see anything in the army composition that disallows it:
Spoiler:
3.2 Legal Army Lists / Army Specifics / Points Sizes (1850)
The NOVA Open operates at 1850 Points. Please bring at least 9 printed copies of your list: 1 for the organizers and 8 for your opponents. You must also bring published or copied printouts of any and all relevant rules for your army, including the core rules.
3.2.1 Legal Army Construction
Legal army construction for tournaments is a consistently hot topic in Warhammer 40,000 for 7th Edition. The edition is, by rule, a “Do It Yourself” one, where you discuss how to craft armies with your opponent before games begin. In an organized play setting, the outcome of this discussion is left up to the organizer (in this case, US!). To that end, the following constitutes the NOVA Open’s rules for army construction for the 2016 Grand Tournament and Invitational. These decisions were based upon a combination of factors, including feedback from the community after the 2015 event. We also strongly considered the current state of the tournament atmosphere country-wide, endeavoring to leverage construction rules that were not *so* drastically different from other popular formats as to force prospective attendees to purchase entirely new armies in order to participate.
3.2.1.1 Battle-Forged Army Construction
The NOVA Open uses the Battle Forged method of army selection with the limitation that no more than 3 detachments can be chosen.
Note: “Decurion Style” Detachments comprised of multiple sub-detachments count as 1 detachment towards the 3 detachment limit.
3.2.1.2 Lords of War, Super Heavy Vehicles, Gargantuan Creatures
You may select a Lord of War where allowed within Detachment construction rules. That said, you may only select one unit with the “Super Heavy” or “Gargantuan” unit types.
Note: A detachment of Imperial Knights may be taken and you may take multiple Imperial Knights as long as they are in the single Imperial Knight detachment.

3.2.1.4 Forge World Rules
Historically, the NOVA Open banned use of Forge World rules within the Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament. The primary motivator for this rules change was the price difference between FW and GW models combined with the large number of different sources from which Forge World’s rules (in totality) were drawn. Changes to GW miniature prices and a dramatic increase in the variety and quantity of sources from which standard GW rules are drawn cast these reasons into some doubt. That said the following rules apply:
Warhammer 30k/Horus Heresy Forge World units are NOT allowed
ALL non-experimental Forge World rules are legal in the Grand Tournament.
The following Army Lists are allowed:
Army lists in Imperial Armor 14: The Siege of Vraks: The Death Korps of Krieg and Renegades of Vraks.
Army lists in Imperial Armor 13: War Machines of the Lost and the Damned: Renegades and Heretics.
Army lists in Imperial Armor 11 2nd Edition The Doom of Mymeara
3.2.1.5 Conjured Unit Status
Conjured units are not considered part of an explicit Detachment. As a result, benefits from your Warlord such as Conqueror of Cities and benefits granted by being a part of a given detachment do not apply to Conjured Units (e.g. Objective Secured from a CAD). Furthermore, as a RAW clarification, Conjured Models interact with other models as per the Allies Matrix, regardless of the Faction that summoned them.
