Gauging interest - AOS tourney?

[Jack Shrapnel]

Hey everyone, 

just trying to gauge some interest in whether there'd be the numbers to run an AOS tourney. 

This would be VERY beginner friendly. No painting requirements and no real experience necessary. Would be looking at a one day, Saturday or Sunday (depending on what is available for Nexus), with as much notice as possible. 

click which option you'd like (for point level) in the above poll if you're interested. 

[Hi I'm Derek]

I picked 2,000 points because I have full armies so I can easily play 2k but beginner friendly may make more sense at 1k or 1.5k, which I'm still happy with.

[StepwisePilot]

I can do 2000 points, and can do 1500 in a pinch as well. I'd have to check about 1000.

Anyway, my vote went to 2000.

[Jack Shrapnel]

yep, vote for whatever is your preference. 8+ yes answers = a tournament.

@stepwisepilot

I don't want to bump the other thread over this one, but most of the tournies are advertised a month in advance. But the 40k tournies sort of have a general schedule they adhere to every year so most people know approximately when they are dropping (clumb champs is early in the new year, santa tournament around christmas, great crusade in summer etc), but this is probably more in the air atm

[Jack Shrapnel]

yeah I need the numbers to justify it, then Nexus will give me a date

I really wish I could confirm, but my weekends are either spent with my son while my wife works or else doing whatever my wife plans for "us" to do on the weekends she's off and my in-laws have our son for the weekend.

I would love to just bring him with me, but there's no way I could keep a 4 year old contained at Nexus to actually be able to play a game, let alone 3 in one day

I think with enough notice and it being a weekend my wife works I could probably get my mom to watch him so I could go, but that isn't a guarantee :/

I would love to see the AoS community build up again

Plus it would give a reason to really start reading the rulebook and figure out how to play again (currently slowly working through the background stuff in the beginning of the book)

[Jack Shrapnel]

notice I can give!

[DarrenB]

Yup. Definitely interested. Like others I put 2k but really I'm up for any level. And again like others with enough notice I should be good! Got two young kids and my wife works shift work 😁.

[Hi I'm Derek]

We durned close - I think probably 1500 points is going to be it, since most of us 2k players are ok going down to that but if someone only has 1500 they can't exactly go up to 2000

[dave]

That's my thought, Derek. I voted for 1500 simply because it's easier to hit, and makes for faster games. Both important factors for new players.

I have 2k, buuut I'm still working on that speed thing.

[Jack Shrapnel]

It would seem that everyone who has voted HAS 2k... which is an important distinction as to what people CAN play at vs. what they would prefer to play at!

[DarrenB]

Honestly at this point in just excited to get some games in regardless of the point level.😁😁. That being said, I've got at least 1500 points for about 5 different armies so no worries haha.

[usscott]

Me and Zack would be interested we'll try to attend

[Hi I'm Derek]

So we have 10 interested so far which should create a buffer for scheduling issues or cancellations, and -hopefully- there's folks who might not be on this forum that would attend.

Does that mean we're a go to try something??
