I'm still working on preparing for this tournament (mostly mats and prize support), but I hope you guys will come out and play a different style of tournament play!  I am also working on score sheets for each of the players so they can track their scores for the games and then I can use them to determine the first place winner.  Even though hardcore tournaments are not an "official" format by Wyrd standards, I think it is an exciting way to play the game in the competitive setting.  I'll be using the scoring system from the official tournament paperwork, as strange as it is.  

 

I'm hoping people will get here early (store opens at 10am, tournament starts at 11am, but mostly likely will not start exactly on time (people still fumbling around with their models, cards, etc).  

 

Plenty of parking with food in the area (I plan on putting time aside for lunch, with majority agreement).  If you guys just want to keep playing, go right ahead.  Store has snacks and drinks available.  

 

Let me know if you have questions/comments/concerns!  I don't bite.
