That's right! I can't tell you how or why (it's secret, yes I'm serious), but there will be some D3 prizes at this event, 3 days before it's release! They might be raffled, or picked with the rest of the prizes. But remember, if they're picked with the rest, you must bring a prize to take home a prize (or multiple prizes).

Please tell people about this event. Right now we're low on people and this is really big for me having prize support.

Where:
First Congregational Church
880 Western Avenue
Brattleboro, VT 05301
Directions

When:
November 13th, 2010
We can get into the church as early as 8AM (keep this in mind if you are helping set-up).
Because drafting will take slightly longer, we are going to start the tournament promptly at 10AM. Since this is a Rolling Rumble, you can jump right in if you're late.

What:
This tournament is a Rolling Rumble. Please read the link if you do not know how Rolling Rumbles work.

Army Conditions:
Since this is a draft, each player may bring anywhere from 700-1100 (1100 recommended) points for their draft pool. Your draft pool must contain at least 5 army cards. Marvel figures are allowed in your draft pool, however C3G is not. To make sure you don't mix your figures with your opponents, please write down what is in your draft pool. If you are bringing multiple commons in your draft pool, please bring the appropriate amount of Army Cards (for example, if you bring 3x Dividers, you need to bring 3 Divider cards).

How It Works:
As stated before, the overall format is a Rolling Rumble. Once players are paired (or have chosen an opponent and map), they place all of their units together in a neutral zone in the middle of the table. Remove all multiples of Unique Heroes in the nuetral draft pool (for example, if you and your opponent each bring Marcu only put one Marcu in the draft pool). Then the draft begins. You and your opponent are each drafting 585 point armies. As with standard drafting, start by rolling a 20-sided die. The higher roller gets to decide either which start zone they get or whether to pick first or second. The loser gets the remaining choice. After it is decided, the first player to draft picks one army card and immediately places the corresponding units in his or her start zone. Players then continue to take turns, picking and placing units from two cards at a time. If a player drafts a common card and there are multiples of that common card in the pool, the opposing player may not draft that card until the original player drafts a different one. After each player has drafted their armies, the battle begins as normal.

Prizes and Donations:
There will be a prize table at the event. It is not required, but you may bring a prize (preferably Heroscape or game related) for the prize table. At the end of the day, each person who brought a prize will pick a prize, with 1st place picking first, 2nd place picking second, and so on. If you bring a prize, you get a prize. If we have extra prizes there will be a raffle. Everyone will get one raffle ticket. There is a $5 entry fee for this event.

Maps:
All maps are competitive of course. Next to each map is the name of the person bringing the map or the terrain for it. If you are planning on coming early and would like to bring a map, please PM me. Any help you be greatly appreciated. Also, feel free to suggest any maps you'd like.
