DFW - North Texas Shootout III

The North Texas Shootout III

General Details

When: Saturday, January 15th
Where: Madness Games and Comics in Plano
Time: 1:00 to finish (three rounds)
Entry Fee: $10

Army Construction

Each player will command a retinue. This will represent a particular hero and his bodyguards. Here are the rules for army construction:
1. Each army must contain at least 1 hero between 50 and 150 points (figures above 150 points are not allowed)
2. Each army must contain at least one squad.
3. Armies will total 330 points. However, armies consisting only of units from one general my have units totaling 340 points.
4. Maps will limit army size to 14 hexes
5. No army may contain Marcu Esenwein

Tournament Format

Players will compete on three or four player maps in a free for all battle. During the battle, players will score points for every figure they destroy. If a unit figure is killed, the player receives points for the individual unit using fractional scoring. If a hero is killed, the player inflicting the killing blow receives all the points for that hero, regardless of who inflicted any previous wounds. Battles will rage until only one player has units left. At that point, the player with units remaining will receive points equal to half his remaining units.

At the end conclusion of the match, the points for each player will be totalled up. Players will then receive "tournament points" based on their result as follows:

4 player game:
1st: 6 tournament points
2nd: 4 tournament points
3rd: 2 tournament points
4th: 0 tournament points

3 player game:
1st: 6 tournament points
2nd: 3 tournament points
3rd: 0 tournament points

After three rounds, the player with most tournament points will be declared the winner. Points received from each battle (the actual points of units killed) will be kept track of and used as tie-breakers.

FAQ

1. What happens when I kill my own figure (falling, lava, etc)?
A. If it is a squad figure, it is simply removed and no one scores points for it. If it is a wounded hero, the last player to wound it gets all the points for it (unless you were the only player to wound it).

2. Who gets points for a figure killed by counterstrike?
A. The samurai's player gets the point when counterstrike kills a figure.

3. If my Wolves of Badru fail a pounce and are killed, who gets the points?
A. The defending player gets the points if he survives a pounce.

4. What does zombies' Rise Again and Marro Warrior's Water Clone do for point scoring?
A. Figures coming back to the board from death work the same as they do in a regular game. Everytime they are killed they give points to the player killing them, regardless of them coming back.

First order of business, what weekend in January will work the best for most people. Our choices are as follows:

1
8
15
22
29

I would assume that January 1 is out of the question (as Ry will be freaking Hungover as hell that day), so what days will work for everyone?

[Rÿchean]

Jan 1 works well for me.

Otherwise Jan 15 or Jan 29

[DrLivingston]

I am good for any and all of them (except the 1st).

I'll get in touch with BroInLaw and Fenix and find out their preferences (because they are apparently unable to understand how the internet works...)

I'm pretty sure CheddarLimbo's boss said no more events at the workplace.

That was why Velenne's dungeon campaign event was canceled.

Ah, alright then. We'll look into other venues then (likely in the North Dallas area).

I strongly prefer the 15th.

[markwars]

I'd love to play. I can play any date except the 8th.

[rym]

I can probably do any date other than the 1st (obvious reasons) and the 8th (I turn a year older that day ).

I will sign up when the date is confirmed.

[nate the dawg]

I'd love to come to this...if it falls on the 1st or the 22nd (my weekends off in Jan.). When the date is chosen, I'll know if I can attend.

[DrLivingston]

Because YOU demanded it!

Done did. <RR>

[CheddarLimbo]

I'm in. Pretty sure my nephew will want to attend.

And the Good Doctor is correct. as we discussed last night, my workplace is no longer available for private parties.
