I don't think there is anything that would stop people from having open and closed sections to a tournament, assuming large enough events. Take the las vegas open, the 32 highest rated players have their own tournament, and everyone else is in the more general pool.

The 32 player tournament can have everything cranked to 11, chess clocks, a higher ref to attendee ratio, mandatory list reviews, and tables built for streaming/casting. At only 5 matches, they could have longer games, more prep time, and perhaps even a more relaxed schedule. The open event will be the LVO we know and love without the emphasis on hard core competition.

As for qualifiers, just make the cutoff for the LVC based on ITC scores, so every tournament is a qualifier.

The only thing that makes that tough (if run simultaneously) is staffing. If you want a higher ref ratio then presumably that means a lower ref ratio in the regular event, unless more people decide to staff.

but yes I think that would be the way to go if you wanted an invite tourney. Like the NOVA invite but based of ITC rankings.

Also checking a list is a human action. People checking lists make mistakes, too. It's entirely possible someone saw this, and figured it was OK.

GW needs a formal army builder. In order to participate you must submit a legal GW app list.

Then, based on the list you made, you can see everything you have access to, and so can your opponent.

Boom, done. Until then, mistakes will continue to be made.

Good luck with that when they can't even get Azyr right

Interesting. So do these successor chapters have any relics or chapter traits at all? Or do they just get the character... That sucks if you give up all the for chat a single character. XD

Much to the chagrin of BA players everywhere, they can only take the worst relic the BA have access too; a power sword that is only special when attacking monsters or vehicles. In return, they gain access to Seth who is meh, and malakim phoros who is a mini guilliman.

I found Seth to be very good.

Relictors covet chaos relics.
