As a matter of fact, I may give it a shot at one of the east coast events myself next year. Any suggestions....

If you were going to go to only one event for 40k I would go to Adepticon.

If you are going to make a vacation out of it besides just going to the tournament I would go to the Nova Open and take in a lot of DC.That is why I always come out on a Tuesday so that I have a couple of days to see the sites.

Congrats to Andrew Gonyo! And to Tony Kopach and Alan Bajramovic for their top 5's

Hopefully, they can do well in the team event, too!

And krootman, we haven't taken back ~~soccer~~ football by a long shot

Compared to where we were 10 years ago, we have made major strides in football!

**Glocknall**

They can have soccer. We'll take 40k.

**MarkyMark**

I think we still have football, as to 40k It will be interesting!

**Dozer Blades**

Wow at least three posts in a row without MVB aggrandizing his buddies again. Nice!

**RiTides**

Nice try, Dozer, but we've already been trolled in this thread

When does the team event start?

**Dozer Blades**

Oh well...

**MVBrandt**

I am so stoked about my 8 buddies on Team America 40k doing well! But only those 8 on the team. All the other Team America players are totally not my buddies, and don't deserve aggrandizement (Except those Team America Fantasy players; those guys can be aggrandized too).

**RiTides**

I knew it!

**Sigvatr**

Regarding WHFB, step it up, 'merica

Can't finish after Germany!

**CaptKaruthors**

WHFB? What's that? LOL.

**Norbu the Destroyer**

If Im not mistaken, It looks like USA won against Czech Repub. 105-55
England lost to Spain 106-54
Germany won against Slovenia 132-30 or something like that.

**Jay_Daboyz**

Yes USA won the first round.

They are currently playing Wales.

A couple big teams lost or drew there first games.

Still early yet.

**rigeld2**

Willingham choked in round 2... hopefully his teammates carry the day.

I think of the draw in South Africa as a "win" for the USA. Besides, an American has gotta be odds on favorite to win the golden boot this year. Jozy! Jozy! Jozy!

@ rigeld2

As you know this is a team competition. Regardless if Jon or anyone else manages to score 5 points or 15 points, he is part of a team, and that team will win or lose collectively, not individually.

He could of been put up first, then 5 points is great. Maybe he did "chocked" but that is not how the event is run. It is a team event, it matters how the team scores.

**rigeld2**

I know - I'm a friend of his and just ribbing a little.

**CaptKaruthors**

Any further updates?

**Blackmoor**

USA tied the Welsh.

Next up: USA vs. England

**Ratius**

Any update on the Paddies? Probably going to run into some of them at next Irish tournament

Irish appear to have won round 2 with 104 points. They are paired next round vs Spain

**Ratius**

Forgive me FRG, where can we see "live" updates?
The facebook page seems to be mostly images for me?

Tied? Disappointing.

**Ratius**

Thanks RiTides.

**Coldsteel**

The BIG question is whether Team America's CSM player will win a single game. The suspense is killing me!!

Consider cutting him some slack. He stepped in as a last minute replacement after lists were already finalized to play a list he doesn't normally play against a collection of the worlds top players.

Oh wait 1 post, guess I took the troll bait.

**MarkyMark**

Most people wont relise how ETC is run though, and as has been said it is a team event there will always be people with put up lists facing prey lists which will be a hard match for them.

Team America seem to be doing very well though, below is the team scores versus Wales, shame a requirement for being captain isnt to have good handwriting! ha.

Scores in game 1 (big win overall, only one full points though)
