What the heck is a Malifaux Attrition Tournament you ask? Great question, sit back and let me tell you. A Malifaux Attrition Tournament is a multi-round Semi-Competitive event where your crew will slowly shrink in size as you play more rounds. In this specific event, we will start at 35ss and each round subtract 5ss through the day.

I am advertising this early, with the goal of generating a lot of interest and really building up a strong event. There is a Spring Hill Suite's nearly next to the venue for those who wish to stay over night. We are sticking to 3 rounds for this event, due to time constraints, but the rounds are a relaxed 105 minutes. On top of all that, I have a very healthy prize box that needs to be stripped down!

So, here are the details:

Prize Ruling:

1st and 2nd place will get a name plate on the Malifaux plaque
King of NOVA trophy will be available for interstore play
1st place will be a percentage of the registration as store credit plus a large prize box pick.
2nd place will be a smaller percentage of registration as store credit and small prize box pick.
Last place will receive the Spoon award.
Paint Scoring will be popular scoring for a 25ss crew. Painting prize will be small prize box pick.

There are a couple additional notes to add. First, If per-registration and attendance clears 16 players I will add a Santana to first place. Second, the Strategies are all modified strategies for this event, not the standard. Pay special attention to the Players Pack (attached). I will be tracking per-registration count on the Wyrd board here.
