A few helpful pointers as we prepare for this tourney in just over a month... (oh man it's that close eh?)
- Please ensure you have a PRINTED list for each of your team members to show their opponents. Not your phone. Not your illegible handwriting. A printed. Typed out. List. If you're worried about losing such a precious artifact, bring a couple spares. Asking your opponent to scroll through battlescribe on your phone to see what your upgrades are is a little bit much to ask right?
- Team captains - be fast as possible at the beginning (game setup) stage. Any time you spend chatting, discussing lists, planning your lunchtime beer etc. is cutting into the time your soldiers have to secure victory.
- Team members - We always have a full on crazy rush in the last half hour of every game of every tourney. Know how to avoid that and (gasp!) finish games? Play that efficiently from the start. Deployment. pre-game discussion etc. There's no reason for turn one to take an hour then turns 2-5 trying to be crammed in during the remaining time. You are only lowering your score by doing that! (especially since turns 1-2 have the most models on the board and the most going on!). This is especially true day one where we have to stay to a stricter timeline as we have three games to fit in!
- Don't show up at the last minute. You've had months notice of when dice roll. showing up 5 minutes before that screws up everyone, as we cannot do matchups until we know everyone is there and ready to go.
This tourney, more than any other ones we do, relies on efficient time management. That only happens if we all work together on it!

Oh and because I was sent a message asking about this:
Talking it out: Say the time didn't go as efficiently as you wanted, and here you are, 15 minutes left in the round and only at the bottom of turn 3. If both sides agree, then feel free to talk through the remainder of the game to figure out what would have likely happened. This is NOT mandatory. Both sides would have to agree to this, as it is not technically in the rules. The advantage is it will likely net everyone a few more points. If this is not agreed upon, then the game ends as per normal.

Yep, once you get a team together, contact Nexus directly and ask them to put your team on the waitlist
Unfortunately due to the nature of a teams tourney we need to expand two teams at a time or we wouldn't have an opponent for someone every round!
plus you know... even at four people a table things get pretty crowded pretty quick.
One year we had 56 players. It was a BIG mistake. I won't repeat that nonsense lol.

Hey sorry, my team was doing a little list planning. What happens when a model MUST be the warlord ei Supreme commanders. I understand that it makes them the warlord for your force but do you HAVE to pick them as warlord for the combine force.
For example Orks with Ghaz team up with Dark Angles. Does Ghaz HAVE to be selected as our combined warlord since he is the only model with the MUST be warlord?
I only ask because I think all supreme commanders have this trait and there is a chance with point drops we are going to see silent king, Morty, Ghaz, Guilliman, Shadowsun, Morvenn Vahl

You do not have to pick them as your TEAM warlord, just the warlord for your 1k list.

I just cancelled my spot in the event, so someone on the waitlist should be able to jump on it.
