C3G Carolina Super Brawl - Tournament

[CharosInCharge]

I'm still thinking about hosting a so cal c3g tournament in June! Lets make it 1 huge even like national c3g day!

Also, I think 1000-1200 is a good # for tourney play.

Just like when we play standard scape we use 750 point armies, but tournaments are usually 500-520 points.

1600 is a bit much and would make for a long tournament.

But 18 spaces encourages more Heroes.

I wouldn't go over 18 ... and would probably prefer to see under. The classic X-Men with Prof X give you a 1,000 point army with only 6 figures. If you go 18-24, you're encouraging squads more than, in my opinion, you should for this type of tourney/game day.
Maybe I should hold a Binghamton Brawl in June? I don't think my apartment would be big enough for such a thing, though, so it'd be necessary to find a space ...

Somtimes it´s just sad that cross-Atlantic travelling is so expensive and takes sooo looong...

As I've been putting together armies for our 1100 point C3G tourney coming up next month, I've noticed a few armies need more than 12 spaces but none have gone as much as 18. I think that maybe 80 points per space is a good estimate. So a 1200 point tourney would be 1200/80=15 spaces.

You and I both kinda pushed for the 24 hex start zones on the C3G competitive map. I thought that was a good idea at the time. Is there any good reason to drop that?

At the time, I was pretty adamant about it. But now? Not sure. 24 hexes would still be appropriate for 1900 points or so if that 80 points per space estimate holds up. But will C3G tourneys be that many points? At this point, I don't think anybody really knows since there hasn't been any yet. However, it's always easier to use less of a designated start zone on a map than it is to add more for a tourney.

I think most C3G Tournaments are gonna be from 800-1000 points, because of time issues.

Plus, 1,000 points is the perfect size for some X-Men.

I was thinking sometime late June or early July, so that may be shaping up. Glad to have you on. Do you have any guests that may want to come? If so, let me know.

Lets talk about rules and scoring guys. Any ideas?
