I made a display board one year by sticking some felt cutouts to some thin foam and sitting it on a tea tray. 20 minutes of work and like 4 bucks worth of materials from a dollar store. Super worth points. That said, I'm going to struggle to have time for something suitable this year.
flip foam upside down + new felt = free points

My display board is just massive. I didn't realize how big it was, but it's 18x36. But it's build out of wood and when you see it, you'll realize why I can't change anything about it now That said, there isn't much room left on it since the army is almost all vehicles.

I know how you feel, 20”x34”. I have a few troops.

I cut mine down in size. Any smaller and I wouldn't have room to fit my army on it. As it is the guys are pretty jam packed.

missions printed and organized new table cards built (hopefully the new style I'm trying will make it visually easier to find your table!) scoring and painting forms printed out and ready to go tables to be set up this afternoon and we'll be ready to make this happen! One empty spot left... will it fill?

Even more swamped than usual this year. Paint job isn't up to last year's standard. And my display board is last year's model flipped over, covered in 4 x.89 cent peel & stick vinyl floor tiles. Thanks to an understanding boss I added some decorative details and legend card at while at work. Total investment this year: $4. Amazing what desperation and inspiration combined can accomplish.

On Monday afternoon I had a bag full of other baggies of forgeworld resin, and 3 terribly painted tanks ready for a bath in simple green. I've got only about 2 more hours left of work and I'm proud to say that my army, although not at all competitive, will at least look pretty cool. My display board is pretty simple, but I feel like if I wanted to do anything creative with it, it would have to be too big to fit through the door.

All 17 tables are set up and in place (with the exception of webway assault and the vents for friendly fire) BIG THANK YOU TO MY HELPERS TODAY!!!!
we actually had room for an 18th table believe it or not... but figured it'd be better to have at least somewhere people could put their stuff!
- saw the swag this year... it is soooo sweet. (Mike always has a surprise that he shows me at the last minute) Everyone gets it, and it's totally awesome.
- wouldn't be club championship if we didn't have some hiccups... let's just say the t-shirt/trophy guys had to be reminded AGAIN... that we needed stuff by tomorrow!!!! (After Mike was sending them several reminders two weeks ago)... it'll happen... they promised....lol
a few reminders:
Dice roll at 9:30 - registration starts at 9 AM. By dice roll I mean the game starts. be there early. your name doesn't go in the computer until you pause at the front counter and register.
You can't go into the back play area UNTIL you register. Do not pass go. Do not collect thunderhawk.
When you're done your game get the score card to the front ASAP. There is ONE computer that runs both the cash register AND the tourney program. It can't do two things at once. Let alone 33. all scores get in. THEN match ups are generated. THEN table assignments are done - by me - by hand.
Don't move the terrain. It's set. Don't touch it. Don't put your massive display board on the tables, moving the terrain, based on the promise you'll move it back. you won't. I know it. You know it.
The maximum score you can possibly get any game is 13. 10 for primary and MAX 3 points if you get all secondaries and no price of failures. If I see a score above 13 I'll assume you meant 0. Also the lowest possible score you can get for a game is 0. You can't go into the negatives. Why is he saying this you ask? because every tourney this gets entered wrong. several times.
Clean up your garbage.
When your FIRST game is done for the day, after you get your score sheet in, immediately set your army up for paint scoring then go have lunch. You only get 1/2 hour. you will NOT have time to eat if you hang around. I WON'T have time to paint score if you're hanging around yapping (especially at me!) I have to concentrate. I am going as fast as I possibly can. I can't go any faster. I can't listen to your stories. I can't have you talk to me about every last detail of your models. I need to be efficient during the lunch time - I have to score 33 armies in the space of exactly ONE hour. do the math. this is hard.

Staring at the last thing I have to paint and trying to pick up the brush. My mind feels convinced that I'm done and doesnt want to have any urgency!
