So Mike informed me on Saturday that he can set up a waiting list for this tourney.
Basically if we get TWO more full teams we'd add them in to the tourney and run with ten. nine however puts everything at odd numbers and makes running things difficult.... so we'd open it up more if we have an even number of teams to add.
I'm not sure if there are two more team full of people wanting to play, (however there's still a month to go before the tourney!) but if there is, then we will expand to 40.
Due to the nature of the tourney however, we'd need two full teams to expand past the 32 players already registered.

I already have someone asking from outside of Kingston about entering a team... so it is not inconceivable that we could add two more. Contact Nexus directly about this.

Okay...
yet another update....
apparently due to a bit of a glitch we actually have NINE teams that are registered through the nexus site...and since we let them all register, they get to play...
..... so we're just going to open things up to 10 full teams and go with that.
So if you needed a spot, now's your chance to get your team in.

Alright... well apparently everyone wants to go to the team tourney this year....
we are now absolutely 100% to the brim full. We have TEN teams registered for the team tourney (including some teams from out of town)... we couldn't fit any more if we tried.
Occasionally we have last minute drop outs from teams where someone is missing a single player. If you show up the morning of day one you never know, someone might need a player last minute... but there's absolutely no guarantee of that happening.
Frankly I'm pretty blown away at the numbers for this one. Thanks everyone!

Fantastic response!! Now on to my question. We ran in to this during testing. When using Orbital Bombardment, it states to select a point (not a model) on the table. This involved a multi-storied piece of terrain. Does the bombardment only apply to the level selected or all levels? We couldn't find an answer in the rule book. Given the likelihood of SM forces using this, we thought Shannon might adjudicate this in advance.

Under the stratagem for Orbital Bombardment it says to pick a visible point on the battlefield and roll a D6 for every unit within D6 inches of that point on a 4+ that UNIT suffers D3 mortal wounds.
so if you cluster different units on multiple levels of a ruin AND this once per game stratagem is used AND you roll a sufficient distance to hit multiple units you may hit multiple units in range - but you're measuring from that point on the battlefield rules as written. It wouldn't automatically hit all levels of the ruin as it specifically says a distance from that point.

Good point. We should have been thinking spherically so to speak.

Just a reminder, we will be incorporating the three rules from chapter approved that ITC are also implementing in all our tournies, including this one:
-Troops in Battleforged armies get Obsec back -Flyers are no longer be able to claim objectives -the way first turn is determined is back to a roll-off, but the person who finished first gets +1

For the tournament, what is the cut off date for new codexes that can be used, FAQs etc?
How does deployment work? Does each teammate put down a unit or does only one teammate put down a unit?

If you codex is out by the tourney date, you're more than welcome to use it, even if it just came out. Your team captain is responsible for ensuring your list is accurate and legal. (as it would be an unfair advantage for me to see lists prior to the tourney given I have a team entered!)
During deployment it's one unit per side put down (so one teammate at a time) so you can tactically choose your deployment still based on 2k worth of units.

Are we playing with those rules GW stated will be coming out in the Chapter Approved book in December but released some early? The rules are 'boots on the ground", "objective secured" and first turn is decided with a roll off, it is not automatic anymore.
Also, the rule to get your troops to be objective secured is that if your army must be battle forged all troops in <faction> detachments. The ITC clarified what that meant with the following:
"On August 9, 2017, the Warhammer Community site introduced the Objective Secured rule. Since Chapter Approved is still forthcoming, Games Workshop clarified for us which Factions gain Objective Secured for the ITC community. If your army is Battle-forged, all Troops units in <Faction> Detachments gain the Objective Secured rule, so long as every unit in a detachment has the same faction keyword from the following list: Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Deathwatch, Astra Militarum, Adeptus Mechanicus, Adeptus Ministorum, Asuryani, Drukhari, Harlequins, Chaos Daemons, Renegades & Heretics, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, Necrons, T’au Empire, Orks, <Hive Fleet>, and Genestealer Cults. "
Is this how you will rule it?
