The tournaments at Wizardworld are a very last minute addition. Aaron has run the conflict
GT for a couple of years now up at Toywiz in NY. They are now going to run similar tournaments at the Wizardworlds. They should be putting up info for each one on the WizardWorld website, this is the page for toronto, I'm assuming other tournaments will be similar.

The Big Show is one of those things that sort of just happened last year, with several people throwing out ideas for the format, and me getting dragged in since they knew I could be conned into hosting it.) From there it grew, went over good last year, and we were set to repeat it when the IndyGT circuit was set up. I'll be hosting it again this year in our new bunker. Nidal Nasr of the Warmongers will be
TO for the event. BigGunz-NE will be helping out like always with most of the work setting up, making scenery, and the million other little things that need to happen. It's a strange event, based around having a good time, drinking heavily on Saturday night, and playing great big armies. Format is 2999 pt armies with no special characters. It came about because a lot of players in the NE wanted to get together and have a good time. You can send me email at MikenJudyc@aol.com and info will be going up at www.BigGunz-NE.com along with online registration. I have to corner the ever crafty Nidal and pin him down on some details. Plans are to add
40k to the mix as well, since we have quite a bit of room that we didn't have last year. A lot will be getting ironed out this weekend, and I will hopefully details and registration up soon.
ICGT is short for Inner Circle Grand Tournament. Inner Circle is a game club that is centered around the bunker in Baltimore and GamesandStuff, a local
FLGS. Originally, it was going to be held at historicon in the Baltimore Convention Center. With the total meltdown of
HMGS, ousting of half the board, and Hcon moving up to Philadelphia at the last moment, ICGT will not be held at Hcon.
Where it is going to be held I don't know yet.
GW and
IC are looking at a couple different options that keep it around Baltimore, and on those dates. Inner Circle has a website at
http://icgc.users-board.net/forum.htm Scooter is the main person to talk to (Nicolas Walters.) The decision by Mr. Kirby to move
GW HQ down to Memphis also throws a spanner in the gears, as that's taking up a lot of the promotions department's time. It will happen, but the details remail...flexible.)
Hope all that helps.
