Sounds good, I will be there with bells on!

You should clerify that Robyn. I'm sure you'd like to take credit for Ben's tournaments but I won't let you!

I would also suggest for the sportsmanship scores: if any 1/3 show up, they should be investigated and verified. That way, if there was a problem it can be addressed before the next person has to deal with it. It will make it more enjoyable for everyone.

Sounds good, Im in

One question for LoreWeaver - 3 points for Victory, 1 point for Loss.. nothing about draws. Trying to discourage people playing-for-draws with last turn turbo-boosts, or merely an oversight?

ya maybe include draws and add in some door prizes

i dont care if you said everyone esept ben can bring 25 heavy support choices if i get to play 40k i will be in no matter what

What are the rules on spectators? I'm not interested in playing, but I would certainly like to watch.

Bummer, I will be helping my girlfriend move back to Regina so I won't be able to play. But like HC just said, I'd love to stop by and check it out for a bit if I get back into town early enough.

I will do my best to be in.

i should have added a sniley Robyn. I was just teasing you and didnt actually think you were stealing credit

I'll be there in one form or another. =)

Count me in for this!
Looking forward to it

Format doesn't allow for draws, so I'm breaking them by use of VP's (should be mentioned in the doc above)

I'll aim to be there

save me a spot

I'll be there

My bad, twas an oversight. I won't be able to play (Way too early for me, I'm usually heading TO bed around 7-8 AM), but I'll likely show up in the afternoon to watch the tail end if there's room and no objections to spectators.

are the points awarded every game or just once

ill come out for a 1000 point tournie, it will give me a reason to finish painting my plague marines before i sell them off.
