So here is the ground rules for the comp:
-2 players per team
-Each player has 550
-Each player must have 1 HQ and 1 Troop Minimum
-Each player can have an optional 1 Fast, Elite and Heavy as well as 5 more Troop choices.
-Each player can have a Fortification

so now that you know the dealio my list will make more sense
originally i was going to go for Tau n SM but i figured i can make a much more nasty list with all Tau
so here is player 1's list:

HQ:
Fireblade
Elite:
Riptide: EWO, Ion Accel, TL Fusion, Advance Targeting system - (Had 4 points to spend on last upgrade)
Troop:
10x Fire Warriors
10x Fire Warriors
Fast:
6x Pathfinders
Heavy:
none

player 2's list:

HQ:
Etheral
Elite:
Riptide: EWO, Ion accel, TL SMS
Troop:
10x Kroot
10x Kroot
Fast:
None
Heavy:
2x Broadsides: High Yield Missiles, 4x Missile drones, EWO on broadsides

leaves 2 points left over here.

Fortifications:
Aegis Defense Line

so what do you think? to me it seems nasty enough i know the local area and they like to through some nasty things out so i figured i'd come prepared this time haha.
i decided against a buff commander a little too much cheese for my liking haha. So really this can get alot nastier too if i manage to roll the skyfire for a turn for the etheral and his unit which i have 1/3 chance of getting. any recommendations other then a buff commander?
