Doc's new Warhammer Tournaments

Well, it sucks for us. We moved the Slaughter to the Strategicon labor day weekend to avoid conflicting with SAWS and now were conflicting with Doc's new gig heh.

Not a problem

My tournament is a small one day event (Sunday). 40K is on Saturday. It shouldn't hold anyone around who wants the GT event you run.

Good luck, I wish you the best in the new venue.

Celesticon Warhammer Tournaments

Rules and Regulations

Warhammer 40K tournament will be on Saturday September 3, 2011

Army Size: 1,500 points.

Special Characters are allowed

All missions will be straight out of the rule book. Expect one of each Mission type and one of each deployment type.

Allies: No Allies of any kind will be allowed in your army.

Warhammer Fantasy tournament will be on Sunday September 4, 2011

Army Size: 2,500 points

Special Characters are NOT allowed. Also, we are banning the use of these magic items: Book of Hoeth, Folding Fortress & Power Scroll.

All missions will be straight out of the rule book. I will be using three of the first five missions available (i.e. not Watchtower mission).

Terrain: No mysterious terrain will be in use.

Standard rules for both tournaments:

Signing up: We have a cap of 24 players in each tournament; To reserve a spot you must register for the Con first, and then send me an e-mail letting me know you wish to play in which tournament. I will take them on a first come first reserve basis. If we hit our max early I’ll see if we can get more tables and terrain to expand the tournament if space is available.

Army Painting: All models in your army must be painted to table top standard. This means that you need to have 3 different colors on each model and the bases need to be painted or flocked in some way. Unpainted or part painted models will be removed from play as it’s just uncool to play with unpainted stuff.

WYSIWYG: Also known as “what you see is what you get”. Each model should be a fair representation of what it should be. We all love cool conversations and having a bunch of undead Halflings as zombies is very cool, but if I can’t figure out what a Dwarf with a Lascannon is doing in a high elf army it just isn’t going to be allowed. If you are even the slightest worried about your models send me a picture and get it pre approved.

Army Book & Codex: All current Army Books & Codex are allowed. You may only use units from your Army Book or Codex, nothing else will be allowed.

What you need: Please bring 5 copies of your army list, one for you, one for me and one for each of your opponents to keep. All of you have the capability to print out army lists so please don’t scrawl them in pencil with bad math. All army lists are due to me by August 15^th. I will accept excel, word, PDF & HTML format. Please send to docdragonis@yahoo.com

You also need to bring all game supply stuff: Dice (not loaded), pencil/pen, paper, Templates, tape measure, scatter dice, Army Book, Rule Book, FAQ’s about your army and the rule book and anything else you need for your army.

Dice: Very important! Please don’t bring dice with symbols on them. And if you are unwilling to allow your opponent to use your special, special dice then don’t bring those either. At any time during the game your opponent may ask to use your dice and you will allow them to do so.

Event Schedule each day:

Set-up: 7:30am

Check in: 8:00am to 8:45am

Round 1: 9:00am to 11:30am

Lunch & Coolness Voting: 11:30am to 12:30pm

Round 2: 12:45pm to 3:15pm

Round 3: 3:30pm to 6:00pm

Awards: 6:15pm – 6:30pm

Scoring:

Olympian: Total possible of 3-15

Win = 5, Draw = 3, Lose = 1

For 40K we will not be using Victory points.

For Fantasy a Draw is defined as a difference in Victory Points of 250 or less.

Awesomeness: Total possible of 0-9

Everyone wants an awesome game. Everyone thinks they are awesome players. The reality is sometimes less than that. At the end of the tournament you will be asked to rank your games Awesomeness level. There are four levels:

Totally the most Awesome game: 3 points

That was a most Awesome game: 2 points

That was an Awesome game, just not as Awesome as my other games: 1 point

Well, hmm, OK, I played a game, I hope next time it will be Awesome: 0 points.

You may only put one of your opponents in each slot. This will allow you to rank opponents as you wish. If you didn’t have a Totally Awesome game then you rank your opponents 2,1,0 if you had two Awesome games and one not, you can do 3,2,0. Or course you can always have the standard 3,2,1 great day of gamming. Now I understand that it is possible to have 3 “Totally the most Awesome game” that day, but you still need to rank them.

Coolness: Total Possible 0-3

After round 1 you will set up your army for Coolness voting. Each player with pick the top 3 coolest army’s in the tournament. First Place vote = 3, second place vote = 2 and a third place vote = 1. I’ll add up all the scores and the First Place overall winner will get 3 Coolness Points, the 2^nd place winner will get 2 Coolness Points and the third place winner will get 1 Coolness point. These Coolness points will be added to your overall total for the tournament. In the event of a tie each player in his/her position for coolness votes will earn that places Coolness points. i.e. If two players have 23 Coolness votes, and one has 22 and another has 21 then the two first place winners will get the 3 Coolness points while then 2^nd & 3^rd will still get 2 & 1 respectively.

Now, what is a Cool army? Glad you asked. There isn’t just one reason to pick a cool army; it can be any number of things like how great the army is painted or how cool the display board works to tell the theme of the army. The design of the army may make you think it just totally cool. In the end this is up to each individual on what they thing is Way Cool.

D’oh points: -1 each

D’oh points are given by me, the judge, to players who just don’t get it. Really how hard is it to turn in a list by August 15, 2011. If you can’t do this simple thing then you’re going to get a D’oh point. If you didn’t bring a readable list for each of your opponents you’re going to get more D’oh points. If you can’t turn in your Awesomeness and Coolness voting forms you’ll get more D’oh points. I’m sure there will be other reasons that I’ll make up as I go along.

So without any D’oh points this means you can earn between 3 and 27 Tournament points.

Awards:

Lord God King Bookoo: Highest Tournament Point total. (tie – Olympian, tie – Awesomeness, tie – Coolness, tie – Drinking contest that night at the Bar)

Mr. (or Ms.) Olympian: Most Olympian Points. (tie – Awesomeness, tie – Coolness)

Mr. (or Ms.) Awesome: Most Awesomeness Points. (tie – Olympian, tie – Coolness)

Mr. (or Ms.) Coolness: Most Coolness Points. (tie – Awesomeness, tie – Olympian)

Other awards may or may not be given out during each tournament just for random acts of Awesomeness as judged by the judge.

The Judge and his Style:

Hey Y’all

Most of you know me and those that don’t, well you’ll learn. I’m an easy going judge who will not get involved in a game unless I’m asked. I am not your baby sitter, and while I’m old enough to be your dad I am not your dad, (well unless of course I am your dad) and you as mostly grown men and women can play nice and friendly I would think. For those of you who wish to ruin a game or two trying to be a D-bag I have no problems bouncing you from my tournament. We are all here to have fun and enjoy the day. You will not win hundreds or thousands of dollars at my tournaments so don’t act like you will.

What to do if a rules problem comes up. Look it up first, check the GW FAQ’s, ask the table next to you and then call me over if you’re still unsure. I will make a decision fast so you can get back to the game. Do not argue with me. I know it’s hard to believe but I don’t know all the rules and yes, I do get them wrong once in a while (yes I’m as stunned as you are about that), but I make decisions fast so that the game isn’t slowed down by the judge looking up every little thing, you should have done that before you asked me.

In the end we all want fun. I will do my best to allow you all the fun you need.

Game on!
