Hello Dakka!
Sorry for the waaay late notice on this one everyone, it's been the holidays in retail around here, and the new store hasn't made it any easier!
We'll be doing another round of the same 'Ard Boyz-style, winner takes all event we did last time, so bring the heat! No comp, no sports, battle points only, come to win!
1850 points this time.
Sportsmanship will not be scored, instead I'm going to have a simple one-warning system. If a played has a legitimate complaint levied against them for unsportsmanlike play, they'll be notated as such, and any subsequent legitimate complaints will result in the player in question being asked to leave the event.
Scenarios will again be "from the book" with some minor special rules here and there to spice things up. We will be using an 'Ard Boyz style Massacre-Major-Minor-Draw scoring setup. Don't worry though.. there won't be anything silly like Victory Points! Tiebreakers will be scenario bonus points first, followed by strength of schedule, followed by poetry slam competition, followed by a light lunch, then a sudden-death game of jacks. In the case of an odd number of players, one player per round will get the bye, which will count as a Major victory with no bonuses.
Since we are taking all the gloves off on this one, I do have some basic requirements for armies. Armies must be comprised of
GW models, must be comprised of a majority of models from the relevant codex, and fully assembled with all primary wargear represented on the model.
WYSIWYG is the rule. I will make exceptions for conversion and 'counts-as' work if notified in advance, so I can take a look at the models in question and decide whether to allow them or not. If you're not sure about something, please let me know beforehand. You can contact me at the store, information below.
I will be keeping strict watch of the round times during the event, and I will be walking around the tables during games to help keep people on track. Games that do not go for a minimum of four full turns will not be scored and count as a loss for both players.
The first place player takes the whole hog, all $150 in
GW product (straight value, no tax) right off the shelves and goes home to swim around in new plastic bits! Painting will be judged separately from the main event, with armies in consideration being scored by a panel of judges. Highest score takes home the painting trophy and whatever other swag I can rustle up! I will also be giving out other door prizes and so on as I see fit.
For the tournament there is a $10 entry (or $20 purchase) to play. The doors will be open early for players to come in and get set up. As usual, I want to kick this one off as close to 10:00am as possible so we don't go too long.
The schedule will stick as closely as possible to the following:
8:30ish - 9:30 - Show up early, have donuts with Travis (B&C donuts on Alta Dena and Foothill is particularly good for those of you in a generous mood! ), talk shop, complain about the new Necrons seizing on a 4+/the newest
FAQ nonsense/6th ed rumors
9:30am - 10:00 - check-in, sign-up, event preamble, pairings
10:00am - 12:15pm - Round 1
12:15 - 1:00 - Lunch
1:00 - 3:45 - Round 2
4:00 - 6:15 - Round 3
6:30 - Winners announced
