All in all, I'd like to think it was a success. For Joel's and my first outing hosting a tournament we had twenty people show up, for a total of ten teams that participated. It was a bit hectic at first but like everything it always seems so much worse when it first starts out.
It was nice to see a few new faces from the Foxhole (a newer gaming store in town) in the mix and lots of veteran wargamers that came out to take part in the day’s festivities. All of the fielded Armies met the 3 color minimum with a few that went above and beyond what was required. The players were all in good spirits and even at the end of a day full of gaming everyone seemed sincerely happy to have paid their $10 entrance fee.
I got to be logistics, which I didn’t mind at all, it was fun seeing all the points be tallied and watching from round to round as the scoring changed. The third round of games had to be the most dramatic as some of the last place teams ended up in the top five. Joel was able to play with one other gentleman, whose teammate didn’t show and the cool thing is that Joel’s Team took best over-all! Thankfully we put in the billing that it was a player run tournament. Some great match ups happened and there were quite a few battles which from the start appeared so lopsided but in the end the underdog team won due to objective captures or better tactics.
Here is a list of all the winners for the tournament
Best Appearance: Jon B. (Tyranids), Team “The Unknowns”
Best General: Scott P. and Zac B. (Orks and Imperial Guard), Team Epic Fail
Best Overall: Joel M. and Sean H. (Space Marines and Tyranids), Team Pretty Boys
Player’s Choice (Supreme Team): Jon B. and Scott R. (Tyranids and Necrons), Team “The Unknowns”
Until next time!
