Hi
I was wondering if people could help me find out.
What is the largest tournament ever held in a miniature wargame?
Be it 40K, Fantasy or any other system. Only criteria is that number of contestant at the tournament should be in the same game.
So shoot. Tell me the largest tournaments you know of, with numbers and name of game.
Thanks

I think the 40k School's league is probably one of the biggest since it takes a team of 4 players from every school in the UK that has a wargaming club and I think there are several other countries that have a similar tournament.
As far as tournaments for adults go, I think the London grand Tournament is the fastest growing 40k and AoS tournament there is. Whether that means it is the biggest yet, I don't know.

Yeah GW even said leading up to Adepticon this year that their TT is the largest 40k tournament in the world.
LVO has the largest 40k singles event in the world, as far as I know.

LVO hit high 400's to low 500's this year as a singles event I believe but adepticon team tournament hit an insane number this year.

If it counts, the last Blood Bowl World Cup, hosted in Lucca, apparently had over a thousand players in attendance.

Star Wars X Wing in Birmingham the weekend just gone had 460, Euros in June is capped at 500 with only about 40 tickets left so will likely sell out.
