1850 40K Tournament on Sept 11th

We here at TSE are hosting an in-store 1850 pt limit in-store 40K Tournament. There will be prize support and pizza for lunch. We have space for up to 12 participants. Please let us know by emailing, Pming or old fashioned calling me. The cost is $15 per person and will consist of three rounds. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you. Have a great day and happy gaming.

Let me double check my schedule, I will play if I can.

Just a little bit more info for the tournament.
Rules:
•All models must represent what they are supposed to be according to the rules they are being used under. WYSIWYG is the rule (What you see is what you get). However, miniatures need not be produced by any particular corporation.
•Miniatures do not need to be painted, but every miniature needs to be fully assembled with all of the appropriate pieces and properly based.
•[b]Army lists are due by Friday September 10th.[/b]
•Armies will consist of 1850 points using a standard force organization chart.
•Forge World/Imperial Armor units are not allowed, however players may still use their Forge World models to represent a unit from their codex.
•Individual units that may have multiple rules versions will follow the rules presented in that army's codex. Yes, this means a Black Templar Land Raider will function differently than a standard Space Marine Land Raider. Please take the time to review the relevant GW FAQ's for clarifications.
•Special/Unique/Named Characters may be fielded, provided their individual rules allow them to be used in armies of 1850 pts or less.
•You must provide access to your own dice, templates, pen/pencil, calculator, or anything else you'll need during the course of regular play.
•A separate printed army list is required for the judges and your opponents. You can use our printer if you need to. Army lists are $1.00 each.
•There will be no judging on army comp, but be reminded that no one likes to play that player. Make sure your army is fun to play with as well as play against.

An overall Champion will be crowned along with a runner up and honorable mention based solely on Battle points.

I am definately in. 1850 of Tau

So far the list of guys I have for the the 11th are as follows:
bdix
Brent
Dustin
Shane
Al
Steve

I have three that are confirming schedules, but would like to see a minimum of 10 if possible. I would love to know as early as possible if you would like to attend and I need your lists no later than the evening of the 10th. Will keep you updated

Should I bring my list by the shop before Friday?

I just have to have it before Saturday AM

Just a last minute reminder about the tournament this Saturday at TSE. We can take a few more guys if anyone is interested. The cost is low and we have some really good guys coming out to play. We welcome all levels of player at our tournament and the goal is always to have a great time.
On a seperate note, One of the contestants asked me about the 1850 points limit. We are going to start hosting more in store events and would like to get your opinion. Do you like the 1850 limit or would you rather see a larger or smaller game? Give me reasons with your answer and be specific with the amount that you would like to see so that I can adjust or not adjust as needed. As always, we are here to listen to our customers and to try and meet their needs and wants within reason. I don't think that I can come through with the Red Headed street walker for every entrant at our tournaments, sorry Brent. But I did give it the old college try.

Brian - two points
1) I prefer 2000 points because nationally, tournaments (aside from Throne of Skulls...) seem to be moving to that point, and it is good practice. Alternatively, 1500 points would enable newer players/ players with new armies, and provide practice for Vegas. 1850 seems like the worst of both worlds.
2) If you can get one redhead per table I'm sure in the interest of sportsmanship I could share with my opponent.

I'd prefer to keep it 1850 at this point...I spent some time getting that list ready

How did it go?

1- Brent
2- Me
3- Bryan Bradford

Event was a lot of fun, cant wait till his next one

Glad everyone enjoyed the day. Would have loved to have a few more, but the ones that were here were top notch. Even Brent took a shower before attending. Miracles will never cease. We will definitely be doing this again soon and be on the look out for more info later in the week on our upcoming October 40K and Fantasy Events. Halloweenee is getting close.
