 |

There was definitely interest so we’re gonna try out this round based thing.
Following the rough sketch of the Fantasy tournament, this is what we’re looking at:
Where: Game Parlor Chantilly
When: Still tentative. Currently looking at the 10th of September
Cost: $10
Setup: 11AM
Game 1: 11:30 -1:45
Lunch: 1:45 - 2:15
Game 2: 2:15 - 4:30
Game 3: 4:45 - 7:00
Army Construction
• 1750 points.
• Any army currently in print by GW
• No FW units.
• Special Characters are allowed.
Scenarios
• Still TBD. Please weigh in on if you want them ahead of time or the day of. Based on my overall feel of a consensus, I’ll either release them two weeks ahead of time or not at all.
• We will attempt to make terrain even across all tables. Please bring mats and terrain. At the worst, you can leave it in your car.
Organization
• If 8 or less players attend, 50% of the fees will go to the best general, 50% to a player's choice-based best appearance award. If more than 8 players attend, 33% of the fees will go to each of the undefeated player and 33% going to the best appearance.
• No painting requirement.
• Not restricted to CGL.
Signups
1. Bill
2. Kevin
3. Rush
4. Nassir
5. Casey
6. Scott
7. Ashley
8. Nick
9. Jeff
10. Bart
11.
12.
Sign up by posting. Feel free to discuss what you’re looking for in a tournament too.

As long as you can make it absolutely clear and the sizes are relatively close, I have no problem with non-GW stuff.

Does anyone have a preference for open or closed missions?

I perfer closed. for 2 reasons.
1) when I read a mission I have no idea what the hell it means
2) It's no fun losing in 1 turn to someone who has their list taylored to the missions.

I like some context, at least. "Hey, expect some objectives and Kill Points." is sufficient.

I would be happy just playing the first three missions from NOVA or some other tournament.
I'm usually in favor of missions being posted in advance and I think they should represent a good mixture of missions. |

As far as missions go, I'd rather not know the exact missions ahead of time, just something general like "kill points" or what have you. |

OK, well we have about 2.5 weeks until kickoff. Here's the skinny:
"Expect objectives and killpoints" 
They will determine primary win conditions, though there may be a wrinkle or two compared to the main book.
Secondary win conditions will be a little more creative, but nothing too crazy.
There will be additonal tie breakers, so based on current sign-ups, the winner will have to go undefeated.
