Talonwinter Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Would the Nova missions be a draw to play locally for a change of pace? I ma looking at doing a Charity tournament for my father in-law with cancer and was thinking about formats that are different from the ITC. Any thoughts on the nova format or others for this purpose? I know some people in the Portland area did a charity event in the last year. how that work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think charity events get their own draw regardless of format. I'm not familiar enough with the NOVA missions to comment, but people really like 40k, so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterman Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 The best charity event formats (from a collecting funds standpoint) are usually a team event to get more entry fees per table. Also most encourage donations through things like buying rerolls or free summoned units, blasts etc. It can get a little ridiculous doing the money buys wins thing but its for a good cause, not for gaining ITC points. Just depends though with the local meta and with ITC a thing it's harder to attract folks to things that don't contribute to circuit points. NoVa is a great format but their missions are notoriously dense and hard for people to pick up without a lot of practice. I'm not sure I would run one as a one off event locally here but maybe there's more interest in Seattle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 team tournies are the best. 1K per teammate. Super fun (to me) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 +1 for team tournaments. Teams of two players with 1,000 points for player are the best! Obviously these would be played on 6'x4' tables, and require more time (~3 hours) per round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
