So you won't be on my team, then?
I do hope someone brings something crazy, like 180 Plaguebearers in 9 squads or something.
Hey, I'll team with you if you need someone.

I bought two tickets under my name Julio Rodriguez. One of them is for a friend, Jesse Morales. That way will he be able to register on the day of the tournament?

Hey Rob,
If you're looking for potential rules issues to put in your FAQ, check out the Adepticon FAQ...not implying you should use the actual rulings in there, just that its a good resource to pull from rather than relying just on submissions from those attendees aware enough to submit questions to you.

Thanks! We're working on a few more but won't be able to confirm until after Adepticon.

That does sound pretty brutal! Luckily for us we're drafting Kill Teams (you can check out the details on how that works here), so it's not something we'll have to worry about!

I've updated our official website with links to our first two major sponsors, Tsipis Games (formerly known as the Titan Manufactorum) and Secret Weapon Miniatures. We have other sponsorships that will be announced in the near future as well.
It's been a hectic couple of weeks! I'll be updating the website (and FAQ section) today.

Out of curiosity, will people's record from day one carry over to the RTT on day two, or will it be clean slates?

No, the day two RTT is a whole separate tournament -- no matter how you did on day one you can still take first place on day two.
Ticket sales for the main event are at about 300% of where they were last year at this time. Who else is getting excited already?!

Once your payment is submitted we hold a ticket for you.
You don't need a physical ticket. Once your payment is processed we send you a confirmation email and add your name to our list of confirmed participants. All you need to do at that point is check in the day of the event.

Take a look at our website for the most up-to-date information; there's a tab labeled Hotel Information with details on room rates. You can also post in our Facebook group if you're looking to carpool or share a hotel room.

Just bring a few spare bases - 25mm are fine.

Since the tournament is allowing two force organization charts, Does that mean we may also take a second fortification if we take a second primary attachment?
