Updates and Clarification of Prizes

Currently the top 3 prizes are;

The player who achieved the highest single day score at the end of the six week league will win a $30 dollar Games Plus gift certificate and a Malifaux Box Set of their choice.

The players who achieve the top two overall accumulated scores at the end of the six week league will win a $30 dollar Games Plus gift certificate and a Malifaux Box Set of their choice.

New prize level;

The first player to fulfill 99% of the achievement boxes on a single day score sheet will receive an Avatar of their choice.

You can choose any of the weekly achievement sheets that are available.

Any player who did not win one of the top 3 prizes AND scores at least 85 achievement points over the course of the six week league will win a $10 dollar Games Plus gift certificate.

New Rule

Games that are going to be scored for achievement league purposes cannot start any later than 5:45pm and last activation will be called at 7:15pm.

I like the new rules, seem fair.

Week 3 had some exciting results!! The leagues leader through Week 2, Joe Deheve, decided to flee the cold winter of Chicago and head down to Florida for some cocktails and dreams. The rest of the league smelled blood in the water and one man emerged to take advantage of the leaders absence.

Vince Curkov completed six 25 stone games in one day and became the first person to complete the achievement sheet and win an Avatar of his choice. He also took over as leader for the highest single day score.

Vince Curkov with his Dead of Winter achievement league prize: Ramos, Avatar of Invention

Gratz!

Its awesome to see the results of this event, even if I haven't been able to participate at all in it (stupid, stupid work schedule changed, conflicting with any chance of me making it out).

I am on vacation this week though, and I plan on heading out to the spots to get some games in.

[sharpobjects]

Joe Deheve returned from South Beach with a tan and a spring in his step. He was able to recover some lost ground despite Dan Morrison's best efforts to keep a good man down. Vince was content with a casual gaming day and wanted to give the others a fighting chance at the leader spot.

FYI

There has been a slight schedule change do to the fact Games Plus was unable to provide me with any tables for Saturday February 16th & 23rd. They were already loaded with tournaments for those two days.

Week 5 is going to be played on February 11th and 12th from 5pm-9pm.

Week 6 is going to be played on February 18th and 19th from 5pm-9pm.

We usually play 8+ hours on a Saturday so we are going to have to split up that time over two consecutive evenings on two seperate weeks.

Thanks

Joe D. took advantage of Vince's absence this week and recaptured the overall lead. With the final week on the horizon, who will emerge victorious?

Can Vince return and recapture his 42 mojo? Will Joe D. prove once and for all that he IS the leagues overachiever? Will another Joe sneak up and stun the competition? Is Dan truly ready to be a champion?

Stay tuned...........
