http://www.thegamevault.net/forums/index.php?topic=4806.0;topicseen
Date: Saturday, February 19th
Time: 10:30am signup, 11am start
Fee: $10
Format: 2,500 points
We have the player base now so show up!!! I'm excited for this. We'll discuss details for a league at this tournament so you should try to make it at lunch if you can't make the tournament. Lunch will be around 1pm.
We'll run this 3 rounds at 2 hours each.
You must use the same army list for each game. The armies will use the requirements and allowances for 2,500 point armies (i.e. 25% Core
Choices, no more than 25% Lords allowed, etc.). Armies don't have to be painted but you know your dice will roll better if all your figures are painted. You will not win best painted unless your entire army is painted. WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) is in effect. For characters all weapons and armor should be modeled. Units must have a majority of the models making up a unit armed correctly (it is permissible per the main rules to have a minority of the models armed differently). Remember that for wizards with a choice of magic lores you must indicate which lore each wizard will be using for the entire tournament on your army list. We will not allow special, named, or unique lord choices (Teclis, Queek, Archaon, etc). If you have any questions about specific characters, contact Milton for a ruling.
Prizes:
1st place: 50% of entry fees as a gift certificate
2nd place: 30% of entry fees as a gift certificate
3rd place: 15% of entry fees as a gift certificate
Last place: dice
Best painted: 1 can of Army Painter Primer or 1/2 off a can of Army Painter dip |

I've been trying to get on the game vault forums to see what the status is and I. Ant get on there. It gives me a verification code and then says that it invalid.
Anyway, how many slots are available and do we prepay?

Its pushing it a bit; we ran at 2500pts and often times then not only got maybe 4 turns in.

I had the same problem, but then retried and it gave me a valid verification code. I think I signed up on Saturday, and there were only 6 slots taken, out of the 24 available...

They have had a lot of problems with spammers so things are pretty locked down right now.
They are working on moving to a better system, but other things are taking priority.
Give me your full name and I will sign anyone who wants to sign up.
Pay at the door.
13 spots have been taken. |

I cannot register for Game Vault either. Could ask your assistance to register for this tournament? Two players, names
Kelly Wheaton, Dark Elves
Frank Wheaton, Warriors of Chaos
I'd really appreciate your help. I'd register at the Game Vault myself, and I've tried. . . .

Thanks for the assist.
Any idea how many have signed up so far? And is there any more information about the tournament on the website? Scoring? Terrain? Scenarios?
