I know it's up in the air, but on average, how far down the wait list do you guys usually get on this tourney?

It depends. but usually you get a couple shots at a ticket on the wait list. The way we handle the wait list is not to offer them in order but to ping everyone on the list with a ticket becomes available and it is first come, first served.

I used to try and go in order down the list but I just do not have the time to email one person, wait for a response, then go on to the next, down a 40 long list (or whatever length it is). As I have found no way to automate that process, we just hit everyone up and whoever gets the ticket first, gets the ticket.

This will be my first year there. Any advice for a first time player? Already lined up everything I need to paint/rebase for my list - this will be interesting.

How many GTs have you been to?

Do you need the :
Wear comfy shoes
Deodorant
gargle and brush

advice? Or more like:

"Expect to get stomped day one and then enjoy the kiddie pool" advice?

"Study the ITC leaders' armies as they evolve through spring & summer" advice?

"Pay for the BCP app subscription so you can see those armies" advice?

"Buy Casey a Beer/Whiskey at The Counter restaurant" advice.

The last is prolly best.

Might be a longshot, but anyone interested in going in on an Airbnb, maybe a group of 3-4 or so. We can get each other's facebook info or something to verify no one is a serial killer and what not

We did that last year and got a baller house and split it 4 ways, grilled up steaks and drank a bunch. It was a lot of fun.

Frontline is not gonna change game size this year. Maybe next year but that's unlikely too. They are gonna use chess clocks and we'll all see how that plays out.

On a more serious note, it does seem from the last frontline podcast that Reece is more interested in trying out clocks first, and waiting to see on point value changes.

@Deevil

Hey guys, sorry I missed this question.

No, the 1,750pts thing is not GW official policy, that's just what the team of people that run events at Warhammer World do. I understand it is easy to get confused by that but anything they do at Warhammer World does not necessarily reflect what the game devs intend, and is not necessarily to be considered official policy or anything like that. As I understand it, they are operating as the TO's of events at GW HQ and like any of us that TO, they come up with ideas and formats to please their attendees and to try and meet the goals of their events.

@Thread

OK, if you wanted a ticket this is the last chance! We pinged the wait list this morning and the remaining tickets are available in the web-cart: https://store.frontlinegaming.org/frontline-gaming-bao-2018-40k-championships.html

Anyone looking for a ticket? I'm willing to sell you mine. I just started grad school and I don't think I will have the time to go this year unfortunately, which really sucks :(

I think it's still "sold out" so if anyone wants my ticket let me know!

Hopefully the transferring process isn't hard.

I can't find it in the app either. There are about a dozen 40k events listed for 7/28 but none are in the right area.
