Tournament in Rochester MN

[GreenLanturn]

Just a minor insignificant request, but could you update the first post?

Also, the twist; the X marker is basically a "use instead of any OM" marker? So if I reveal my #3 marker I can instead use my X marker(ed) card?

Do I actually need to reveal the marker I'm choosing to replace? It would allow me to better conceal the markers I haven't used yet, opposed to my opponent knowing which figures are now going to move.

I was wondering the same thing.

I played some 615 (well, 610) games last night. They ran smoothly, easily in an hour.

You will not need to reveal the skipped order marker.
I will update the first post when I have a chance.

Well then, can we activate the X in place of 2 and then reveal 2 instead of 3?

That's just crazy talk.

Any armies yet? I've got one I want to play, but I'd need to borrow 4 squads...

I am not saying what to do ..... I just wanted to point out what may be an issue, I know we played each other last year in Rochester, I don't remember how fast you played but all people are different. I can tell you that a couple years ago we did 540 point ( 75 points less that we are talking here ) and if remember correctly we always had 3 or even 4 tables go to time every round. In other threads this seems to be a big issue not finishing a game during reg time. Thus I just made an observation if Micre wanted to look into it ... at least he is aware of it if he did not think of it.

I myself would like to try a larger army - I just wanted the organizers to go into this with their eyes open.... I want all the HS tournies to be a good/great experience for the good of the game. I myself would also like to attend more tourneys. The best way to make sure this happens is have quality events. So if or when I see something that may be an issue I think I should say something.

I do tend to play fairly fast. And I always forget when people are playing Ahsigaru or Glad/Blast to let them move their second squad.

Is the tournament open to anyone? If so, I'd definitely be interested in trying to make it, and I know a couple of other guys from my area might be willing to make the drive.

[Micre]

This tournament is open to all ages and skill. As of right not I am not looking to be setting an entrance fee.

I would like to be able to put the time thing to rest so I would greatly appreciate it if people would time their games and post here how it went. I have only played two practice games, but my brother is no good and got stomped in less than 20 minutes both times so I probably can't use that.

I hope no one feels I am snubbing them in any way shape or form. As this is my first HS tournament I greatly appreciate any concerns and/or suggestions. I would like this first tourney of mine to be a success so that I may continue and people will want to come and play.

For the X order marker it takes the place of the number that you use it for. So if you use it during turn 2 the 2 becomes the X order marker. You do not need to switch the order markers. Your opponent may still have to guess where that 2 (or whatever number) is.

Any map ideas? This is an excellent opportunity to get one of your new maps into a tournament. Targanth, I was unable to find your Forks in the Road version with the glyphs. Could you please post it here or pm me with it? I do plan on testing that other map as well.

I am greatly looking forward to this tournament. I thank each and every one of you in advance for help in planning and showing up to play!

Any prizes? I'd be more likely to come if there are prizes.
