Sadly not going to make it out. Santa Claus Parade being on the same day just creates too many hiccups in terms of getting the family prepared and down there.

It was a nice tournament... See Shannon told you Daemons rocks! I was just surprised at how well my list did overall... apparently there was a three way tie for battle points by the end, Dany, Tommy and I... we were also tied for sportsmen points... so the tiebreaker was painting! lesson - paint your stuff!

Yeah, not sure what impacted it all- but Ali was saying something about how many objectives you got on the last mission impacting it overall or something.

this tourney did not have a huge spread in points between win lose draw... I think it was like a 1-5 scale... advantage to this was that bonus points actually made more of a difference, and one bad game didn't knock a person out of the running as the points for each was pretty close... which meant that soft scores were very important as well as playing to the mission... disadvantage- you could be doing really really well, but it didn't mean you'd automatically take it... not sure what I'd prefer personally... (even though this system is why I won... under the old system where massacres = 20 points I wouldn't have... the point span between win and lose is too much).... not that I run the tournaments or anything so really my perspective is not worth a whole lot I can see advantages in both ways of doing things.... I honestly thought Tom was going to win too - he did very well all day (and he's got a tough list and a great player) .... but when you have a 5 point spread between massacre and being massacred though, technically a person could have been massacred one game and still won the tourney if their bonus points and soft scores were still solid throughout the day. ..... given Tom's one of the guys who's given me LOTS of advice on my list / tactics (Dany you're another one too... and so has Tommy)... we can all take some credit (well that an nightfight on the last mission!) ;D

Well I personally like when its a little more detail on how many points your get if you get a massacre major or minor and how many extra point you get for painting secondary etc... so you can expect whats going on at the end... but this time it was different and I wont complain... great tournament and nice weird scenario

.... my one suggestion would be for the point scoring system to be much clearer... I had to ask Mike after every game what it meant and what things were worth... and I heard alot of other people asking the same thing too... the scenarios should clearly say x # of objectives more than your opponent = ________ secondary objectives are worth _______ bonus points... ....once again, in my humble opinion.....
