With NOVA being the weekend just before and Blob's at the end of the month I will have a hard time convincing the wife I "need" to go to another tournament Laughing

But I may may the attempt.

Does the ruleset come in any other format? My old ass comp, phone and IPad don't seem to like the google doc thingee. Just opens to a blank page??

I had to ask the tournament organizer to e-mail it to me. . . .

Is there an easy way for me to post it to this forum?

You shouldn't have any trouble posting the link. It's just that the link is a bad link. I looked at the GV forum, and the link there's a bad link, too.

Not a terrible drive. Since I can't go to the NOVA open, this sounds like a good idea.

Yeah, if that link would work and I could look at the rules I may be down. If painting is any part of overall score then I am most definitely out.

I got the TO to e-mail them to me. I cannot figure out how to post them, so I've just cut and pasted them into this e-mail. Not very readable, but gives you enough of an idea that you can determine if you want to go.

Painting Rules
Having a painted army is not a requirement to play in the tournament. However having a fully painted army, a minimum of 3 colors on each model, will have a slight benefit. You will gain 1 extra battle point each round for a fully painted army. Also there will be a small prize for the best painted army, the judge will be someone appointed by the TO.

Seized Standards: You score an additional 25 victory points for every enemy standard bearer that was removed due to the last stand rule or was slain in close combat. If the enemy Battle Standard is slain under these circumstances, his death instead score 100 Victory points.

Deployment:
Both players roll a d6. The player that wins the dice roll can choose a table half to deploy in or he can defer to his opponent. Players then take turn placing units on the table.

On a roll of a 2-3 the unit is deployed in the 1/3 to your right. On a roll of a 4-5 the unit is deployed in the center 1/3. On a roll of a 6-7 the unit is deployed in the 1/3 to your left. On a roll of an 8 you get to choose where you wish to deploy the unit.

Game Length:
Six turns, unless time is called before.

Victory Conditions:
The winner is determined by victory points.
Also, note the following additional battle points you can earn during the course of battle:
+1 if your lowest point cost unit survives
+1 for each wizard you kill (a wizard is any character that can cast a spell, prayer, or is a Runesmith/Runelord). If your opponent has no wizards, then you are awarded a point for killing his general. You can earn a maximum of 2 additional battle points from this.
-1 if your most expensive unit was destroyed or fled off the board

Since painting isn't that big a deal I think I could be in on this. 2200 though means no Mazdamundi...
