Event at Castle House Games

no second like the last second. just emailed my list in to chris

I ran mine by at about 6:30. Of course, it was just an Excel file because of the new codex.

Sounds good; looks like we'll have a great first event!

A few last minute verifications:

There will be three prizes given out for Best General:

1st is $40

2nd is $25

3rd is $10

There will be a separate prize for Best Paint. Paint will be judged by the TO.

1st will get $25

2nd will get an Honorable Mention Certificate.

Any ties for Paint will be judged off by the players.

There will be a $10 prize for Sportmanship with any ties going to player with lowest Best General score.

It is entirely possible , but not probable, that one person will walk away with three prizes (Best General, Sportsmanship, Paint) for a grand total of anywhere from $45 to $75. I realize that some might not think this is fair and I hope you will bear with me since this was the best way I could figure it out for CHG"s first tournament with the restrictions that I had placed on it (mainly that it was not required to bring a painted army but I did want to reward painted armies). Our next tournament will be better, hopefully.

This is a different way than is done at other tournaments. Since this is our first one I wanted to try to keep things as simple as I could understand them.

If anyone has any major problems with this method, please either PM me or let me know here.

The only suggestion I have is that Sports tiebreaker go to highest Battle. It's harder to win and have your opponent score you highly, than to lose and do so.

Sports should actually got to lowest Battle. If the Highest Battle gets it in this tournament then most likely the one who got 1st in Battle will also get the prize for Sports.

This will be similar to the way RTT rules it as once a person wins a title their name is pulled from the running for any further prizes.

Plus the prize of Sportsmanship will go to the person who "kept their chin up" even though they were losing the Battle score.

Me : But I really want to go.
Gravel on exit 67 : I don't think you should.
Guardrail on exit 67 : Yeah, I'm sure you're not.

Doh, I hope you is ok.

I heard you was. Sorry you missed the event. Everybody seemed to have a good time.

As soon as we can get Overlord figured out we'll post the ratings.

I must say I had a great time at the first siege on castlehouse. I think you all did a wonderful job and everything went very smoothly. I felt like prizes and turn out was excellent. In all a fantastic job - two thumbs up! Looking forward to the next one!

Yes, great event. Looking forward to the next one.

Brent, hope you're alright. See you at the next one.

Lol, I'm fine. I broke a tie rod, a rim, and probably some alignment work, but otherwise everything's fine. I doubt paint will even be involved in the repair. I should definately be at the next one.

Wow, this was an expensive event for you.

And you didn't even make it....

At least you didn't get pwned by some Tyranids or something...
