Lord Hanaur Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 WHERE: OLYMPIC CARDS AND COMICS 4230 Pacific Avenue Lacey, Wa 98503 Exit 108 off of i-5. Hop skip and a jump. CALL (360) 459--7721to PRE-REGISTER FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/events/1709655032654939/ WHEN: MARCH 5 2016 See the schedule Below WHAT: 1500 Point Battle Forged Warhammer 40,000 Lists. ITC COMPLIANT, so three Detachments are allowed (though no more than two of the same Detachment can be included). Also don't forget the all important ITC rule that no more than 1 Fortification and/or 1 Super Heavy/Gargantuan Lord of War may be taken from the allowed LoW list which is in the FAQ link below. AN EXCEPTION is being made: Defense Networks will be allowed subject otherwise to ITC rulings. Also, the January 29th changes, posted in RED in their FAQ will not be in effect for this tournament. So review those and make sure you know not to act on them. For those not familiar with the particulars of ITC FAQ's, this is a good chance to brush up on your army specific ones and the general rules questions: ITC FAQ Illegal lists will be removed from prize consideration. All units must be clearly marked on your army list under the Detachment they belong to and you must give a copy of your list to your opponent. All of this is subject to the rules below. PRIZE SUPPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS TOURNAMENT. Read on for how you can win them WHY: To give away BIG chunks of prizes and tune up for the upcoming bigger tournaments. To collect ITC points and become ranked with your army as well as within the greater community. The more ITC events you attend the more points you earn! WHO: You and every friend you can muster or tell about this event. Find a friend and bring them. It’s silly not to travel in packs and it's just flat unsafe. More is better. There are a few things that are bound to need attention so let me start right off: 1. $15 per person 2. When “time” is called, if the current round is not complete, you will return to the previous rounds victory condition total to see who won. You must complete the entire rounds events for the round to count. Rounds are over when the judge tells you they are over. If your clock contradicts that of the judge, the judges clock will be the one we use. 3. SLOW PLAYING WILL NEVER BE OKAY. For those unfamiliar with that term, it means that you intentionally slow down the game in order to avoid losing. Certain armies are like thundering hammer blows in the early going, but they take it in the shorts later on. Tau are a good example of an army that can be up by 6 KP’s before they start losing things...but they lose them pretty rapidly later. So if a Tau Empire player was hemming and hawing and generally going slow to avoid the loss, I would have no compunction about issuing a warning or even a Victory Point Penalty or simply exclude you from prize consideration. So, your best bet if time is running down and there may or may not be enough time to finish another round is not to sit around discussing it. Just mark what the current Victory condition totals are and play on. Then if the next round truly cannot be completed in GOOD FAITH, then you return to that previous completed rounds score as your final one. This is to ENCOURAGE people to play, not DISCOURAGE. We're not handing out solid gold statues, so play to have fun. 4. Bring 5 copies of your army list, your main rule book, Codex FAQ, Templates, Dice, objective Markers etc... so others don't have to loan you theirs. Pro tip: letting people borrow them is however good sportsmanship. =) Prizes in General: We will be drawing prizes. If you win Best Sportsman, you receive one extra entry. If you win Best General, you get one extra. If you win Best Painted as judged BY THE PLAYERS, not the judges, you get one entry. Prizes will be pooled from the number of players present. If you tell EVERYONE, Facebook EVERYONE, then we should have more fun.. Painting Requirement: NO PAINTING REQUIREMENTS WILL BE HELD DURING THIS TOURNAMENT. WYSIWYG IS IN EFFECT. We will not judge paint with a rubric, as it will be player voted. Each player will inspect the armies during our lunch break and name their favorite. Most votes wins. Tie goes to the person with the least number of wins. Makes it worth painting no matter whether you win or lose, don’t you think? Other Stuff: Make your life easy: bring a display board. So much easier to move armies about and display them and people like them. A plank or even a McDonald Tray is better than loading and unloading from a bag. Just a suggestion, not a requirement. QUESTIONS: We ALL forget rules! There are a LOT of codex’s with many rules interactions and then there are FAQ’s that create another layer of possible discussion. In addition, the parallax effect can make us see things differently from one another on blasts or Template weapons and so on. Talk about it for a minute, look it up (The index works great) and if you cannot agree (and it happens), dice it off so you don’t get into a slow play situation. But if you feel like it is imperative to the outcome of the game, or maybe neither one of you feels sure ENOUGH to make a call on it either way, then call for a judge. Rulings are final until the tourney is over and will be the best attempt at correctitude we can make at the time. Sadly, we’re wrong sometimes. But if a decision HAS to be made by a third party, we’ll make it. Better that you ask before the tourney (see the schedule?) or you and your opponent settle it to continue having fun. Schedule: 10:00 Registration. Pay up folks. 10:15 Announcements and repeating one self for those who didn’t bother to read this. Go over oddball FAQ questions, preferably with a focus on being cool to one another. Occam s Razor is the rule. 10:30 to 12:30 Round 1 12:30 Set your army up for inspection and voting then GO TO LUNCH. You never know! 1:30 Matchups announced, shuffling of armies 1:45 to 3:30: Round 2! 3:45 Matchups announced, shuffling of Armies begins 4:00 to 5:45 Round 3 6:00 Prizes announced and Forum fills with joyous “what a great time I had” accolades, After tourney Gaming to include...well any game you want. Cause it’s your time. Flames of War, War Machine, Warhammer...you name it, they have it at Olympic Cards and Comics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITC missions as far as I know. I doubt they'd let me design my own missions for it. After all: I'll be playing in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 ITC does not require you use their missions. They are just a general guide line. I am trying to convince the wife to let me go... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 ITC does not require you use their missions. They are just a general guide line. I am trying to convince the wife to let me go... Yeah, well that is not my call so I am just guessing that since they NEVER run tournaments (unless I/we run them ourselves of course), they are going to go with what's simple for them instead of complicating things. They wouldn't even know what EDIT: ill advised ITC FAQ's to throw out if it bit them on the nose at this point (not insulting them, but it's just the reality that they don't know what they don't know) so I anticipate that this will be as "by the book" as an ITC event will ever be. So I would totally anticipate the missions being ITC missions. I can get some confirmation on that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 ...and...confirmation has been gotten. We WILL be using the ITC missions. took less time than i thought to get that answer but i figured as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 OK. So people need to plan on playing two different primaries... dang. Now I have to figure in troops to the army list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 They wouldn't even know what retarded ITC FAQ's to throw out if it bit them on the nose at this point Two things here. First off, can we not use "retarded" as a slur? Because it's kinda pretty offensive and if the forum is going to ban the use of curse words, I think discriminatory language should also maybe be politely off-limits. Second, for all you disparage the ITC tournament system, they have done an incredible job of promoting the game and making it playable. 40K needs FAQs above and beyond the official GW ones to be functional- and it needs some rules changes as well. Do you remember that time I brought three Wraithknights and kicked the teeth out of every single one of my opponents without any meaningful chance I would lose any of my games? Because I do. If you want every game to be like that, by all means keep advocating unrestricted tournaments- I'm sure you'll come up with a clever and resourceful way for Sisters of Battle to not get tabled every time against Eldar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 - I'm sure you'll come up with a clever and resourceful way for Sisters of Battle to not get tabled every time against Eldar. I would. No one is actually promoting unrestricted tournaments. If they were you'd have a point. but... no one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I would. I have no doubt that you believe you would. Anytime you wanna put down money to play your SoB against my Wraithknights, I'll be happy to oblige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is an event on March 5 I heard. Come on out. I'll make sure Paul puts us together turn one. It is ITC of course so you'll need to make do with one Knight. The more the merrier i always say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 ITC allows for multiple Imperial Knights, right? Kind of. Heres the teext: Exception: One detachment in your army may include an Imperial Knight. So long as the detachment restrictions allow for multiple LoW, you may exceed the 0-1 LoW restriction within this detachment so long as all other LoW are also Imperial Knights.
