Courtesy of some Business Contacts, I have been able to acquire some prize support above and beyond the standard prize support for an event like this. Please check the Additional Prize Support section above, and keep your eyes out for one or two more bonus prize support if all goes well.

Wow. That's some rather nice prize support. Now if only I could make it out to South Carolina...

Thanks, as this is my first official event as a Press Ganger, I'm hoping to pull out all the stops and make it memorable, and if all goes well make this an annual event (with the same level of support.)

For those that can't make the trip, we will miss you

Another update on Prizes.
Top Donator during the Tournament: Gift Certificate for 2 Nights @ Avista Resort
2nd Top Donator during the Tournament Gets a choice of one of the Following: Ryobi Professional Digital Multimeter OR Ryobi Professional Stud Sensor
3rd Top Donator during the Trounament Gets the Remaining Ryobi Tool

This will be the end of the big prizes for the tournament, but if all goes well I hope to bring in a series of smaller prizes, we will just have to wait and see if I have any more tricks up my sleeve.

Just a quick update. Only two weeks left, and I am still working on additional prize support, if all goes well I may be able to pull in one more smaller prize, keep your fingers crossed.

I'm sure that you will take cans from non-players, but will we be eligible for the prizes?

A local business (Credo Software) has donated a set of Winsor & Newton Series 7 Brushes. They have not arrived yet, but will be here in time for the tournament. I believe they are the Sizes 0 - 4, but will verify once they have arrived. I will be reworking the prizes due to the MSRP of this item in comparison with the other donated prizes, I'll make a decision and update the Prize list once I have the brushes in hand, oh how I wish I could win them

Yes, we will be a drop off location for the duration of the Tournament, and will accept non can items, everything is going to the charity Harvest Hope. Unfortunately the prizes are only going to be awarded to the people participating in the tournament. It may be too late, but I'll see if the Store Owner might be able to do some type of prize for the non players, if I am able to come up with anything I'll post it here.

So wanna play ME3

It's official, the brushes have arrived and the prize support has been updated accordingly.

Some quick responses to questions that have come up.

I will award the special prizes based on number of cans donated during the tournament (aka, cans used to cheat with, not cans donated before or after) This is a technicality and I promise you there are a couple of easy ways to guarantee can usage through the course of the game (two of the easiest are 100 Cans per game to take a non Faction Warjack or Warbeast as if it is a faction Warjack or Warbeast, or 1 can to add +1 initiative at the beginning of a game (no limit) use this on your last game if you want to guarantee all your cans count)

On the rule for the non faction 'Beast/'Jack, this will allow you to alter your list to include the 'Beast/'Jack (remove models to make points available), the list you submit for the tournament will still need to be a valid list.

As always, if you have questions post them here or PM me.

Almost there, I have only one more post, which will be a link to the Tourny Report, soon I can let this poor thread RIP.

For anyone interested I have posted the Trophies that were made up for the Tourny on my Blog (at the bottom) Clockwork Arms

And with this post, I now declare this thread officially dead. Thanks for bearing with me and I hope you enjoy the FOODMACHINE Post Tournament Report.
