Warhammer 40,000
Outdoor Summer Charity Tournament
August 8, 2009
First Things First
Alright, first thing’s first. This tournament is DIFFERENT! Rest assured that we’ve taken a lot of time to think about all of the things that can potentially go wrong with something “different” like this. If you really don’t like the way it sounds, just don’t sign up!
- Break the mold of the typical tournament
- Join us outdoors at a lovely picnic area in Springfield, VA, near the Springfield Plaza Games Workshop
- Enjoy freshly grilled burgers and dogs between your games
- Get some fresh air instead of being trapped indoors with 31 sweaty gamers all day
- You’ll be able to collect pledges of donations / game, or flat donations, from friends and relatives – finally the opportunity to tell them you’re giving back with this dorky fun hobby of ours
The Skinny

Notes:
We are taking pre-registration now by e-mailing mvbrandt@gmail.com
As soon as we fill a certain % of spots for the tournament, we'll begin taking paypal registration payments for the tournament - this payment of $15 will cover registration, participation in all side competitions, a burger or hot dog, a couple of bottles of soda or water over the course of the day, and a bag of chips
We will be sending a pledge/donation form out to each registered participant
Each participant will have the option of choosing their donations/pledges to one of three charitable foundations benefitting Catholic Relief Services, Breast Cancer, or Kidney research.
Scoring system cliff's notes - Detailed information and rules will be available soon, but we assess primary value to win or loss, and break "draws" with the optional Victory Points rule from the back of the GW rulebook. Victory Points and Killpoints MODIFY your overall rating (primarily based on win / loss) in equal parts, and so are recorded and meaningful for all missions, even objective-based ones. For purposes of best general, the scoring stops there. For purposes of overall, paint score and sportsmanship score also factor in to the same level as victory points and killpoints.
