As for a lowdown on the tourney, here it is:
We would start at 9:00 for sign-up and paperwork;
10:00am-12noon, First game;
12noon-1:00pm, Lunch and paint job judging;
1:00pm-3:00pm, Second game;
3:30pm-5:30pm, Thrid game;
5:30pm-6:00pm, Awards and conclusion.
We will be using the Living Rule Book 3.0 with GW sanctioned Revisions through April 2005. Prizes and awards will be given for Overall Champion, Most Touchdowns, Most Casualities, Best Sportsman, and Best Painted Team. All rules for the tourney will be NAF and GW approved, and at this time there will be four judges that will not play and handle all disputes and judging of paint jobs.
The rules we will use are as follows:
A. The Rules System for the league will be LRB 3.0;
B. Any OFFICAL GW addendums from the past year to April 2005 will be used;
C. All teams legal (1,000,000 gps.) in the newest addition can be used;
D. Non-GW teams (Phigs, Heresy, etc.) are acceptable, but ALL figures must be painted and represent a BB figure;
E. Non playing judges will be on hand to handle all questions and disputes;
F. There will be a nominal $5 entry fee to attend (on top of what the event price to attend Bayou Wars will be);
G. The tournament is open to all NAF and non-NAF players;
H. ALL rosters must be approved by the judging committee before being allowed to play.
The $5.00 entry fee will go to help paying for the prizes, trophies, and extra boards that we'll need to make this tournament stellar!
If you can attend, please e-mail gemurphy3@yahoo.com so he can plan for how many tables and boards we would need to use. We want to make this a great tourney, so if you can attend, we would love to have you!
