Vancouver WA

Crisis Pregnancy Center

Charity Tournament

Where: St. Johns Presbyterian Church – Camas WA.(http://www.sjpc-camas.org/ )

When: Saturday, April 25th 2009
> Register @ 11:00
> Games start @ 11:30
(We should be done between 6:30-7:00.)


Entry Fee: Table Prize & Charity Donation (See Below)

Who: Anyone!!

Confirmed Attendees: 12/6
Open (13* & Up): Paul, McLeod, Quozl +1, Majestic Goat, Jake, Rdhight +1, Megadev +2, & Commander Fowl

Youth (8-12): MaryBeth, Mady, Louisa, Grand Moff Venom+1, & Commander Fowl's +1









Format:

• 525 point armies including MARVEL – but no proxies or customs
• 7 Rounds with computer pairings.
• 45 minute rounds & 10 minute breaks between
• One army – no substitutions during event.
• Fractional Scoring – Points as tie breakers.

We are making some small but distinct changes in format from the previous events. As noted above—we will allow Marvel in this event, there are seven rounds but each round is ten minutes shorter. Our intention is to maximize the reason for playing, increasing the number of opponents and games, while maintaining a manageable amount of time. We have opted out of a championship round in the process and will work more stringently on keeping with the 10 minutes between rounds and the 45 minute rounds. We will have the time called out every 15 minutes of the round, and 5 minutes before completion. When the time is up, the players finish the turn they are on – not the round.


6 Rounds of 55 Minutes + 10 Minute Breaks = 380 minutes +/-
7 Rounds of 45 Minutes + 10 Minute Breaks = 385 minutes +/-

We will have a separate table set up for registration and reporting results from each round, hopefully it will streamline the process between rounds. We have yet to reach the stage of needing waiters/waitresses, but if we can get to over 50 people......you never know!

Any suggestions to help streamline things are appreciated.

Our last two events have been 36 and 30 people respectively. Our goal is to reach 40 this time around, and hopefully 50 by NHSD. My challenge, someone needs to sign up MORE people than Nadom this time....I want to see someone else with a +7 or +8 next to their name. J

Concessions..............Definitely – more information coming.

Charity: The Crisis Pregnancy Center Camas-Washougal. We are collecting diapers for donation to the CPC Camas-Washougal, during this time of economic struggle it could be the little help that some new mothers need to make it.

*Please note: The younger players age 11 & 12 that have extensive experience are encouraged to participate in the open division.

When signing up....please indicate whether you (or which of your guests) will be in the OPEN or YOUTH division. Thank you.


The donations will be sent to:

[Nadom]

April 25th will be tricky, because that will be the last weekend of the semester for me... but count me in! Not sure how many people will be with me, but you'd best believe we're going to give anybody who tries to bring more a run for their money.
Oh, and are repaints ok? Suppose I wanted to paint an extra Swog white could I use him as Nerak? Conversely, if Melwing17 wanted to paint his Major Q10 to match his Iron Man, could he still use him as a 'normal' Q10?
(I bring up Melwing17 just because I know he actually did this...)

[Melwing17]

I'm there.

[Bahde]

Repaints are fine - no sculpt mods though.

For the Swog/Nerak (or any other conversion) - as long as you have the correct card & info its ok.

Awesome! I can't promise you'll be seeing any arctic orcs, but I'm pretty sure you can bet we'll be seeing some crazy armies from my crew.

[quozl]

Me and my daughter (youth division) will be there.

[Bahde]

Updated.

[2xHero]

Woohoo! Sign me up. I should be able to make it this time.

Nadom, Nerak is a blast to play in orc armies. That highly mobile, defensive aura helps quite a bit.

EDIT: I sent some PMs to attendees of the last couple events. I hope I didn't forget anyone.

[rdhight]

I'm in! I may have a +1 or +2 as well, all for open division. Sounds like a good format-- I like playing Heroscape fast.

I have a Nerak repaint I'll bring if someone wants to borrow him. First come first served.

How many start spaces will we have?

[temp.nerd]

I am in, along with my +2 for adult, and +1 for youth. I am halfway there!
Oh, and I am getting a repainted Nerak AND Hawthorne(I aint wasting $200)

[majestic goat]

Jake and I should be there! I'm repainting my hulk pink and giving him some bright red lipstick. Maybe give him a "Hello Kitty" tattoo to complete the look...pretty embarrassing to get beat up by that?

[Bahde]

Chuck, if you do that - I will actually buy the Hulk for you to paint. (Any excuse to get an extra Marvel set. lol)

Rdhight, I put you down for only +1 for now...let me know for sure when you can.

Also, were going with the standard 24 starting spots.
