Re: Gencon 2018 Results
I was approached for the the old man league, sure why not, a chance to win HS dice, you know I will show up. Next year will be my 11th year at GC for HS, so that is pretty cool,

Re: Gencon 2018 Results
Much like trebuchets are the superior siege weapon to catapults, partial card scoring is superior to full. (Fully understanding that full makes things a bit simpler for big tournaments, of course.)
So there were 48 players in the main event? Awesome! Arena of the Valkyire - Help create Heroscape's next Master Set! Trade List C3V Brainstorm never not funny Pepperony - 14/09/13 |

As for partial vs full, partial is by far better, and full doesn't really help in major tourneys like GenCon anymore (seeing as we no longer keep track of points from round to round, points are only used to determine a winner if the game goes to time).

Re: Gencon 2018 Results
I think the main argument for full card is just "that's what the rulebook says", which... I mean, I get it. But the very same section says that you play to a round limit, not a time limit, and we don't do that. I think deviating from the rulebook on how to score a game that's cut short in a way that deviates from the rules is fairly reasonable.
That said, I don't honestly care that the scoring rules are kind of erratic. The only thing that bothers me is partial card scoring for unique squads, because that actually changes the way people play when the time limit is approaching in a way that's cheesy and lame. |

Re: Gencon 2018 Results
I could be wrong, but I've long thought that the justification for full card scoring is that it's easier to calculate. Less math between rounds, when time is very precious to the tournament directors. Especially in a big tournament.
Mind you, I would still prefer partial card scoring, but nobody asked me. |

Re: Gencon 2018 Results
So, wait, everyone's in agreement that partial is just way better? First I got (helped get) the reverse rounds schedule changed for main event, so now let me start a petition to change official scoring to partial card. Naturally, this gets my aye.

Re: Gencon 2018 Results
It’d be my yes. I’ve only been to GC once but I’ve played tourneys with Full card scoring and it sucks in endgames when the game is close.
