NHSD 11 Peoria, IL 10/15/11
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Date: Saturday, October 15, 2011 Time: 10am-5:30pm Location: Just for Fun Games (Website) Cost: $5 contribution for prize pool ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The day is fast approaching and with the departure of Vydar, the NHSD Peoria has a new face. All discussion for this event will be located in this thread, so post or PM if interested in attending. I am also sending a PM to all previous attendees. The Peoria tourney has a added feature this year, CASUAL PLAY. If you are not interested in playing a tournament, you can use one of the unused maps and play 500 pt armies against other casual players while tourney games are going on. Bring any army that you have always wanted to try, or any combination of 500 points that would be fun to play. These armies can include Marvel, SoV, and C3V IF YOU HAVE THE MINIATURES Hope to see as many of you there as possible. Schedule 10am-11am: Registration and Map Setup 11-11:30 Lunch 11:30 am sharp: First round begins 4:30pm: Championship Round and Map Teardown 5:30 pm: Prizes There is a Taco Bell and a Little Caesars within walking distance. There is no food in the play area, and any beverages must be in a lidded container. Rules Tournament 1) 500 Point Armies (bring your own dice, order markers, and wound markers) 2) "Faction Wars" - Only figures from a single general allowed in an army. Valkrill units may be used by any general 3) No Marvel, SoV, CuC and C3V figures. 4) Glyphs - All nontreasure glyphs (except Kelda and Brandar) will be placed in a pool and put symbol side up on each map. The quantity on each map would be based on the map built. No glyphs will be placed power side up. Please mark your map with glyph locations 5) Maps: BOV maps Marr Highway (briaka) Mole Hills (briaka's son) Burial Marsh (Mac122) Ember Canyon Road (Mac122) Broken Skyline (Mac122) Ruins of Pine Tree Marsh (WarriorOfEberoon) Bad Moon Rising (Mac122) Arctic Divide (Mac122) Embattled Fen (legoboy) Badru Valley (kevindola) Ticalla Sunrise (vegietarian1 Fire Isles (infectedsloth) Fossil (legoboy) Invasion (borimir96) Swamp Thing (samuelfrost4) 6) Format (Based on the Super Simple System (SSS) for tourney management.) -----50 Minute Timed Rounds -----Absolute Losing Score -----Whole Card Scoring 4 Swiss Rounds Matches between armies of the same faction will try to be avoided. Faction Championships Top 2 players for each faction are matched. Winners of this round are declared their faction's champion. Swiss Round for all other players. Tournament Championship (around 4pm) Tournament Leader vs. Challenger Tournament Leader = Faction champion with best overall Swiss record. Challenger = Faction champion with the second best overall Swiss record unless: -----1) That player was previously defeated by the Tournament Leader AND -----2) A Faction Champion with an identical W-L record that was never defeated by the Tournament Leader exists. All others tear down maps. 7) Prizes - Please, bring $5 to contribute to purchase the prizes and store gift certificates. The more people we have, the cooler the prizes will be. All prizes will be placed in a prize pool for selection in the following order: -----Tournament Champion -----Sportsmanship Award -----Other 6 Faction Champions in order of tournament record after 5 rounds -----Remaining participants based on tournament record after 5 rounds Prize pool Marvel Master Set Swarm Master Set Castle Set Skahen Repaint Ornak Heroscape Music CD.

Have you wondered what an all Kyre army would look like, or if Hulk and Krug could hold off 500 pts worth of figures, here is the place to find out 1) 500 Point Armies (bring your own dice, order markers, and wound markers) 2) Maps - BOV maps 3) Have fun 4) Prizes may be available. They would be on a participation basis...we can't judge on fun can we? List of Attendees 22 Ryougabot briaka briaka's son tomrza44 kevindola mac122 jetjake WarriorOfEberron vegietarian18 +1 vminer legoboy Captain Canuck infectedsloth langfordrocks myheartshakes +3 samuelfrost4 Evar-Scarcarver boromir96 (If your name isn't on the list and you are planning coming, please, respond to this thread so we can add you and plan accordingly. I'd like our count to be as accurate as possible so we can be sure to accommodate everyone.) DISCLAIMER: All information is non-contractual and subject to change as deemed necessary by the tournament organizers. After NHSD report. We all arrived and began setting up. We had 9 beautiful tables to work with and we had all maps built by 11:00. Thanks to the generosity of the participants and R˙chean, we had a beautiful Heroscape prize table. After lunch all 22 players started the carnage By the end of the day, Kevindola and Borimir96 proceeded to the championship game. Kevin with his Einar army clashed with Borimir and his Utgar army. Ultimately, Kevidola emerged victorious. Please post any after battle reports in this thread, I am sure tales of the epic confrontations witnessed here would be appreciated by all. Champion: Kevindola 2nd: Borimir96 Faction Champions Einar - Kevindola Utgar - Borimir96 Jandar - Garza Ullar - Vminer Vydar - Evar Scarcarver Aquilla - myheartshakes On a personal note: I have never seen a more gracious and well behaved group of people. Everyone received a good sportsmanship ballot. All participants voted for the most sportsmanlike opponent the encountered. The winner was Mac122 with three votes. There was a 2 way tie for second with two votes a piece. Every other vote was for a different person. Statistically, this tells me that this entire group was sportsmanlike. JFF also told me afterward that this group was one of the best behaved groups they had ever seen. The best compliment came from a mom who drove her kid up from St Louis (3 hours). She sat through all 8 hours of the event and was still smiling at the end because her son was having a good time. JFF noted that we had some beautiful maps and many happy gamers in their back rooms...and they didn't have to scrub pizza out of the carpet. There were $60 worth of store gift certificates as prizes and I am sure people bought things on the way out. We had one kid off the street want to learn to play, and there was a nice casual game there. If you will have me, I would love to host next year...with or without prize support.

Re: NHSD 11 Peoria, IL 10/15/11
Thank you Ryougabout for taking the reigns! My son and I will be coming. We will bring Marr Highway and Mole Hills for our maps. I realize we only need to bring one, but I have the terrain to build them both.
Briaka and son. Do. Or do not. There is no I don't wanna. |

Re: NHSD 11 Peoria, IL 10/15/11
I will almost defiantly be there. Theres a slim chance something will pop up though. I might even be able to bring friends. (@Boromer.) You can put me on the list. I dont know what board we will bring yet, but I`ll PM you when I decide. Thanks! 2 of my brothers will come also. Will I need to bring 2 boards? We have enough terrain just wondering what we need to take.
EDIT: Also I would like an answer to boromer`s question too. Will SoV and CV3 be allowed? Hello. I have updated my signature in an attempt to convey absolutely nothing, and waste your time reading this every time I post. Thank you. |

We will need 1 board for every two people in attendance, so if every other person brings a board, it will work out perfectly. Only official units are allowed. No SoV, CuC and C3V The event is only 1 day old and we are already half way to prize support Last edited by Ryougabot; August 16th, 2011 at 05:00 PM. |
