Been talking to Mike today and unfortunately due to the phased re-opening plan of the government, this is going to seriously impact tournaments for the next couple of months.
On June 14th Nexus is allowed to have 8 people in the entire store.
Phase two is a MINIMUM of 21 days after that... at which point he can have 12
Phase three is a minimum of 21 days after that... and he doesn't know how many he's allowed at that point.
Essentially this has created a situation where tournaments cannot effectively be run until Phase three. The Great Crusade, and all other tournaments, are unfortunately on hold, with a new date to be determined - basically as soon as Mike is allowed to he will.
We certainly WANT to be running tournaments, however Doug Ford's current plan makes it illegal to do so for the time being. We will be back at it as soon as we're allowed.
In the meantime, support your local FLGS. Small businesses are hit terribly hard by all of this. By banding together as a community we can ensure when all this is over, we have a place to still get together and play.

If you have come out of game hibernation, turn around and go back to bed for a while longer. Sucks, but why waste energy complaining about it? If you can't go back, build and / or paint something.

This is the year where Tzeetch wanted us to sacrifice to nurgle in order to annoy Khorne, through a lack of sacrifices, into attacking slaneesh in an effort to gain controll of the world's marshmallow supply, thus convincing the ultra marines to exterminatus an uninhabited asteroid that may or may not block Tzeetch's view. A fool proof plan if tzeetch himself says so.

That makes perfect sense with how this year has gone.

So while the tournaments are still on hold for a while, did Mike say anything about sign-in games etc like we had before the lockdown?

wouldn't be til phase 2 I believe... as he can only have 8 people inside the entire store starting on the 14th, and he'd naturally want to set that aside for customers I'd think.

Thanks Shannon and Mike for navigating these waters. We’ll be patient and ready for when it opens up!

Asking for future reference, but how much of the army has to be painted for Great Crusade? I saw a earlier post saying that this year there was no requirement, but by saying "this year" it implies that past years did.
So, going forward, would there be painting requirements? I'm a slow painter (Mostly due to lack of motivation), so would be interested to know.

When Tournaments were a steady regular thing, some had no requirements (secret santa), some had 50% (great crusade) some were 100% painted (club champs & team champs)
The old standard was 50% but that went away for a while when numbers were low... but then started to be the standard again - then covid.
So for the past year and a bit since all this hit, we're just happy to have tournies, so haven't asked much in the way of painting requirements. Except for clubs of course, which has always been 100% painted (10 years now!), and as far as I can see, will remain that way.
