mm remember all bugs are still being worked out with stuff added. Within a few months I would say all bugs worked out, leading to next years being smooth sailing. first year for any event can be the hardest.

For those of you itching to sign up are paypal is full up and running. If you wish to wait we will have a link soon just not sure when, but if you want to get on the list you can send paypal to Boston_brawl@yahoo.com. obviously I added the dot after com so ya don't have that in.

Thats rights one and all Romeo and the crew from Battlefoam have offered to sponcer our event. We here at the Boston Brawl thank them for this and are glad we can welcome another amazing sponcer to this event. Battlefoam will be sending some great prizes that I am sure will make the winners the talk of their FLGS! If you want to pick up some of their amazing products check them out here at their site http://www.battlefoam.com/ .

Also initial sales have been suprising for me. so hopefully this keeps up. If we fill up semi quickly I will open up 20 more spots max.

**Empchild**

For your convience you can now pay through the site!!!!

**frgsinwntr**

nice! this will be on the circuit right?

Is there composition scoring?

Is sportsmanship done by rubric?

I have a decent LCD projector I can make available for this event if needed.

Is painting a rubric?

This year we will not be on the circuit, but thanks to Mike at Shocasecomics we will be next year. Comp I still haven't decided on but everything else will be counted in .

**frgsinwntr**

::crosses fingers:: Please.... no comp :(

I will be there next year for the circuit : )

**Tironum**

Unfortunately I will not be able to make this event but will be providing whatever help I can from afar.

We started The MechaniCon last year knowing what the current National Circuit would bring. We also had many folks bail last year because we were not on the circuit - and that was the old one BEFORE the info about Las Vegas championships. Try to support them this year so they will prosper and be even better next year!

It takes a ton of time, money and hard work to put something like this together. We are very thankful for all the generous support from our sponsors and attendees who helped our event get started and we plan to do everything we can to help others get started running great events.

**Dashofpepper**

What does "on the circuit" vs "off the circuit" mean?

@frgsimwntr: Having no composition score encourages min/max lists, or WAAC variants. I'm headed to my first GT this month, and from what was explained to me, composition helps pair super power lists against each other.

**Empchild**

"on the circuit" means our top two winners go to vegas. "off the circuit" means that this year they will not be, but the better we do this year will allow for a bigger event next year. I am blessed in that the Organizers of Mechanicon, and Saint Valentines day massacre are helping me out here, and I fully intend to return the favor to them. Starting one of these up from scratch is a hard venture especially being we want to donate the profits, but thats fine as I know in time with the help from others those of us doing tourneys on the east coast will really grow. Heck I read Mechanicons and saw all the cool things they have for their 2nd annual and am hoping I will be able to head on over too it. Also I agree and Comp will be judged, sorry but it helps keeps things on the fun side.

**Iron_Chaos_Brute**

How will comp be judged?

Will it be used only to set up pairings, or will it affect scores?

Will painting be part of the overall score? For players that had their armies commissioned, will they take a hit?

To reiterate frgsnwntr's question:

Will sportsmanship be checklist-style? (Preferably)

**InfernalMajesty**

Me and my buddy will be showing up. Payment will be made sometime this week most likely.

Yes to comp I have decided but it will not play into parings initially that will be random first round. It will add to your scores but never taken away so free points right

Painting will fall into overall scores and players who have commissioned I have decided will not recieve zero, but will be judged normally just cannot max paint points. So instead of 10 they would get a 6 or an 8 also they are not eligable to win best painted but they can get players choice(I have no say in that). Sportsmanship will be checklist with 6 viable points per round.

ALSO the winner of the 40k will win a FREE yes FREE ticket to MECHANICON curtousy of Tony and the Mechanicon crew. This is in addition to all the other kick but prizes they will get!!! Also people I have spoken with Mikhalia and the winner from his Saint Valentines day massacre will get a free ticket to our 40k!!!! (I accredit Tony with the idea and I love it).

Hey don't forget about the south. Your right about the west coast does get all the attention and there no love for the east, but it the same for the south. I would love to see some big 40k and Fantasy.

Then do what Empchild did, stop whining on the internet and start organizing.

**Empchild**

I agree start organizing one. The first year is always the hardest, but the second year is the most fun because you know what to fix I think

**Empchild**

Since I have recieved a number of email I have decided to up the fantasy que to 60. This is to allow people more opportunities to play different opponents, and hopefully bring in more people to the event to roll some dice, and have some fun. Look forward to seeing you all there and don't forget to sign up at bostonbrawl.com/ .
