I paid this weekend and i think someone else did but im not sure. I don't know why the sign up is so low. I think the reason might be that people dont want to pay unless they are 100% they can make it.
I know its a bad excuse but that might be it?

Another thought,
We have quite a few players locally who aren't regulars every weekend, and hence getting to Nexus to prepay in person could be a big task.
There are several (free) ways to collect money via the internet, such as email money transfers. This might help those who want to signup but might have a harder time getting to Nexus to pay in person.

If you cannot get to Nexus once in a two month period, or have a friend that can make it there for you... chances are you aren't going to be able to make the tournament anyways

Yeah, I never make it to gaming, but I can still get down to the store. I can even give people a ride some time if they need it to pay.

I live 45 minutes away from the store and I made it down to sign up. I agree with Shannon, if it's important, you can make time for it.

Well, I haven't signed up yet because I can't guarantee my army will be ready in time. It's almost there, and the 3 colours should be no issue. It's just waiting on FW to mail me replacement bits that are the right ones that I'm worried about.

As I mentioned, I had paid but I was supposed to be unavailable, but plans changed so I'll sign up again this Saturday.

I paid.... Before Christmas break. Didn't start painting yet, but three colors should be no problem.

Yeah, on the topic of the 100% painted requirement, I think I've proven 3 colours is pretty easy to achieve. I'm probably one of the worst players locally for proxy/bare plastic/unpainted models. And I've probably sunk maybe 15 hours into getting to 3 colours on to an 80 model army. (And because I'm so terrible at painting I have to go slow!). If I can assemble/paint an army to 3 colours in 8 weeks (4 of those weeks doing almost nothing except waiting for shipping from FW or GW), then I'm fairly certain it shouldn't even be a problem for everyone else.

So sticking the yellow and red Scars decal on my white bikes counts right  Seriously though, if I can get an army three colours done, anyone can. Still gonna be a lot of work to do on them after the tourney though. |

I know Im working really hard to get it fully painted so I can have a chance to win the tournament because lets be honest if you have only 3 colors you are pretty much out of competition for Best Overall. I want that bolter! haha

stickers count... I'm willing to let alot slide to meet three colour minimum... just don't expect huge painting scores if that's all you've done of course... product prizes are going to be draws again this year... so you actually have just as much a chance at bringing home a prize if you lost every game compared to if you won every one... the only awards that even count battle points at all are best overall and best general you can win best painted even if you lose every game... battle points aren't even a tiebreaker! If you only have three colours on your models, you won't win best painted, because there are some really nicely painted armies out there that would obviously be competing for this... however best general would be still up for grabs, and depending on how the points play out, best overall is still a possibility... although you'd have to rely on the pretty armies not winning as much |

The bolt pistol is being poured tonight, it'll be all nice and pretty white, a blank slate for the winner.
