I believe Hulksmash lost his first round and lost the 4th round against Stelek. Guessing he went 3-2

Dash crushed Stelek in their Whiskey challenge, taking the primary, secondary and tertiary objectives.

The high stakes $$$ challenege didn't happen because the guy who was meant to play Dash backed out and chose not to play.

Dash played Stelek round one and beat him.

He played Rich his second round and won.

He played Rick Puig his third round who apparently was not very pleasant. He apparently had 3/3 negative sports marks and was pulling some really lame/cheaty moves on Dash, according to Dash. This is where Dash started to drink. Heavily.

Dash Played Alex Fennel 4th round and won.

He would have played Mark Fenek round 5, but got too hammered and had to be escorted to his room, where he passed out and just woke up to tell the tale.

So that's the word from Dash, he wanted you guys to know how he did.

Thats total win!

Can you guys complete this for us non tourney guys:

No, I didn't make it. Got married in Feb. and found out we have a baby on the way so I had to revise my tourney plans for this year =)

He did win that hangover, though!

wow... Would have liked to watch that on table 1 for the last game. Would have been epic.

Dash must be hung over still....
.....According to the live video feed, Stelek played IG at the Whiskey Challenge.

Also according to Dash's own interview on Live Feed, he played the SW player and won.

Olympia is right.
Every single table at the NOVA Invitational had a referee. Plus MVB was wondering around on top of each table having a judge.

Dash played Stelek first round and beat him. I do not think they played at the wiskey challenge. Stalk also lost to Timmah(sp?) who I beat in round 4.

In the first round of the open every one that people would know seems to have won. There was a lot of baby seal clubbing going on. Or in other words, everyone who did not bring grey knights of space wolves.

Damn iPhone spell check! Stalk=Stelek.

I'm not a baby seal
Or so I like to think

Guess Spag took Best overall and according to this site he took the $1000

I didn't make it this yead due to some money issues. My folks had to borrow some dough and my truck got towed so I had to pass, which was a bummer. Next year the whole team and I are going to go.

Some of those details from dash may be innacurate, he was still tipsy when he hit me up and he had just woke up, so he may have been a little confused. Anyway, I just reported it as it was told to me.

In a Charlie Sheen kind of way (your a loser but your famous and think highly of yourself anyways) "Winning"

And there where two prizes of $1000. one for best general and one for best overall. Sorry to hear you didnt do that well Hulk, the compition must have been fierce.

Marc Tomlinson doesn't post on Dakka that I know of. He's been playing his Eldar since I first met him at our annual big event 3 years ago, and usually does quite well with it against armies that internet wisdom says he shouldn't.

Game #2 over. You can probably read about what happened at the "yes the truth hurts" blog.

So did you win or lose?

Sounds like Stelek lost. He posted stats for g#1 but not g#2. Just more complaints about dice and tactics.

Sorry for bad reserve rolls

Winning or losing is not important. What is important is that I had a fun game!

Stelek is getting creamed all over the place. I feel a tiny, teeny tinge of immaturity for being happy about this. But then I remember that if anyone deserves it, it's him!

It is fun to win! Haha, well done, Alan, I am glad you won.

Heh, the only way that could have been better is if you would have done it with Footdar. Nice job Alan.

So is this Rick Puig guy really cheating that bad? Even with judges watching every game?

Judges are not watching every game.

Surely if hes cheating consistently though, it'll be highlighted and caught at some stage?
Only takes one incident to be DQ'd right?

Didnt someone say each table had a judge specifically assigned to them? Was that only for the whiskey challenge games?

Only for the invitational tables. 16 tables, Friday only, 5 rounds.

Ah, ok.

hyv3mynd wrote:Only for the invitational tables. 16 tables, Friday only, 5 rounds.

Also, there was a judge for the whiskey challenge games as well.

I find it hard to believe that someone could cheat with a judge hovering over them....
...but then again....anything is possible.

Okay, just to clarify.
For every game going on in the first round we had a judge behind or beside our table. So all 16 games had a judge. Plus a head judge and Mike circulating to assist.
After that, they decided instead of the judges being behind the players, they wanted them on the short edges so they could better view the field. So they changed the tables so that whatever tables we used was on the edge so that they could sit on the short edge which was a very intelligent choice by Mike and his judges.
I do not believe there were any official judges for the Whisky challenge, but I may be wrong since tons of the judges for the invitational were playing/socializing and watching. Plus multiple people were watching.

So all throughout the invitational you had a ref watching every move, every roll. Also they made sure you didn't have a friend judging you. Which was another great choice they were ready for at the invitational.

So says the man with the Daemons...who almost pulled it off. Was rooting for you!

I always knew it would happen eventually...

I am just glad Dash won over on Space Pupppies that I just did a cart wheel in my hall way. Next year I will challange Dash with my Chaos Mech force, may my Defiler crawl up his leg and sting him. No dirty dark elf will walk away from this fight, I call a Planet Strike 2,000 pt game on Dash Next yr. Awaits an anser in the folds of the warp space whittling human bone into a trophy for the game.
