Congrats to the locals that went to NOVA and did well.  In case yall didnt know there was about 5-6 BG locals that went to NOVA this year to represent themselves and their local crews.

Simon L. - Went 6-2 for the weekend and Won his bracket the second day
Bill M. - Went 5-3 for the weekend and Won his bracket the second day

Team Darkstar a newly formed gaming club went with 3 people and Won the Trios Team Tourny!  Please like us and follow us on Facebook.  We always like to make friends and meet new people.
 
Bill S. - Went 5-3 but went undefeated during the Team Tourny
Keith B. - Went 6-2 and fought hard during the team tourny with his Nids and lost a close game by 30 VP
Troy E. - Went 6-2 but went undefeated during the Team Tourny'


Again Congrats to the local gamers of BG I think we all represented well and were top notch competitors for the weekend.

I had a blast. I am very slightly disappointed with my performance but I guess 10-3 for the weekend is not too bad.

Did Troy win his throwdown against Dash's DE?

Congrats to all! Looks like BG crew made a strong showing. Maybe next year, I'll show up and drag us all down. :)

I've been intensely curious about results, and my only criticism of NOVA from afar was the lack of accessible real-time results.

I did not win.  When you go 3 rounds of shooting and literally only manage to destroy 2 guns and imobilize 2 vehicles its hard.  Mind you this is with 16 + str 8 shots!!!

I dont remember the last half of the game however as I was very drunk at that point.  But I made a good comeback but it wasnt enough to take the game.

If I pulled those damage results, I'd be drinking too. Stupid dice.

Best to get crappy dice out of the way early though, and performance-wise you clearly made up for it later. Next year, everyone's going undefeated. We'll beat the field and beat the system.

Awesome.  I love the results.  Congrats, guys!

I LOVE when local guys do well at big events.  LOVE IT!  I can't express that enough.
