Trenton Tourney - August 29th

[stonecutter]

I know this should be under the tournament header but I don't have the "power" to put it there. Perhaps the kind hand of an admin will move it ;D

In any event, the details are below but I will be going down so if anyone else is interested, post in here and we can carpool. Of particular note, you need to send your army list in early and the judges scoring for comp is listed at the bottom.

General concept would be to have a horde of us descend on Trenton to meet new players and sweep the prizes ;D

COMP SCORING:

Here is the Scoring Format for Composition for the Aug. 28 2010 WFB Tournament.

First seven catagories worth 1 point each:

Does the army have a higher Core Percentage than any other single category?
Do the units and characters have names or designations etc?
Does the Core percentage make up at least 35% of the army?
Are Lord choices less than 20%?
Are Hero choices less than 20%?
Are Rare choices less than 20%?
Has the player spent less than 15% on magic items?


Next there will be two areas the players can judge worth 2 points per game for a total of 6 points.

Finally a relative ranking system out 7 points.

This will make composition out of 20 points.

Please if possible make sure that you send you list to either [e-mail]
or

by the 23rd of August at the latest.

There it is.

Hope to see you on the 28th and good luck.

The Management

.... now why is it that every out of town tourney is scheduled the day after my band plays a show???

I think it's a conspiracy!

[stonecutter]

But the beauty is that I will be driving so you can sleep on the way down Besides, it is time to test the theory that we can beat the guys from Trenton with our eyes closed ;D

[Admiral Agrippa]

Yes, they obviously fear the wrath of your tactics and strategy combined with the might of your army so they try to handicap you in such a way to make it easier for everyone else to play against you on a fair level ;D

[Jack Shrapnel]

I think it may be more that I'm far more entertaining half asleep and mumbling!

Just keep me near the coffee! I'll be fine!

.... so Frank, did I hear you say you were willing to transport for this one?

If we want to get a whole bunch of us from Kingston to go to the tourney, I'd also be willing to drive people if we need more than one vehicle...

For anyone who hasn't gone, the Trenton tourneys are alot of fun... cool scenarios and themed tables!!!!

(plus there's alot of really fantastic painted armies there to admire!)

only 50% required to be painted to play! (3 colours counts as painted - skin, drybrush + shield = painted saurus!)

[usscott]

i tok to over what the wife and i be go save me a sit

[stonecutter]

I have space for 4 + myself as driver. If we get above 5, then a 2nd vehicle or someone with a minivan will be necessary.

I'll be running tourneys at Fan Expo that weekend, so won't be available.

Also, is that not the date of the 'Ard Boyz qualifiers?

Just checked the schedule and you are right, it is the same day. I believe we had a similar problem last year and can't quite remember how we solved it.

[Edg3ofR3ason]

I should be able to make it and will drive.

[stonecutter]

I've registered the five of us with the organisers and also asked if they can switch the tourney from the 28th, which is Ard Boyz, to Sunday the 29th. More to follow as things develop.

[usscott]

liz if you what to go i help you et your army rdy for it

[stonecutter]

Tourney date has now been changed to Sunday, 29th August so we can do both Ard Boyz on the Saturday and this tourney on the Sunday - a full warhammer weekend ;D
