Next warhammer tournament?

[King of the Elves]

Hey chase, just wondering if you know around when the next WHFB tournament would be. I know you have a lot going on with 40K, warmachine, megabattle tournaments but i just thought i would ask. Thanks in advance. 

[Chase]

The second to last weekend in April.  Not sure what date that is...  It'll be that Sunday I believe... Maybe?

I will be taking care of the April calendar next week.

What kind of format would people want to do. I know we have a group of players who go to the store every Tuesday, but don't do tournaments. What would make you guys show up?

 I would love to see our local tournaments get the kind of turn out 40k gets and after the success of the lost legion tournament I see that it is possible. What can we do to get a beter turn out?

[NateT]

How about WHFB 500pt teams?

I would like to see an event that would limit the size of Unit blocks.  Limit blocks to 25-30, which would eliminate the HEY look at my 100 Great Swords with Killing Blow?!!!!  EGads! I think if you can make units smaller and have more of them you might be able to have more dense terrain on the tables. just my thoughts...

[Rhys]

I don't like that idea because it only hurts weaker armies. My daemons kick ass in units of 25-30, while my beastmen are completely useless.

[NateT]

Yeah, are there any prefered tourny rules?  Like limiting blocks or magic, or anything special like that?

YES!  This!

What is going to get our Tuesday night crowd to play in a tournament?

[Bkyle]

I liked the Lost Legion's tournament format: very few army restrictions, not many changes to the core rules, pizza lunch included in entry fee!  I think 2hr 15 min was a little short for 2500 point games.  Maybe smaller points value to encourage fully painted armies?  Either way if BG hosts something on the 21st or 22nd I should be there. 

[King of the Elves]

one think i think would be cool is if 2 people matched together are playing the same army, you use the new civil war rules from this month and last month's white dwarf. I (personaly) like to play 5 or 6 1,500 point games than only 3 or 4 2,500 point games, but that's just me.

[StrategicCommand]

My only hold back from doing a tournament for fantasy really is not knowing all the rules so much that playing in a tournament feels wrong to me since I don't know all the rules and strategies etc... Plus if folks are REALLY competitive and will nickel and dime of a millimeter then leave me out for now.

[Rhys]

will nickel and dime of a millimeter then leave me out for now.

that's 40k tournaments you're thinking of

 Lol

[StrategicCommand]

Its been my experience that its all tournaments that have an entry fee and prizes... but I am getting better and with help from all you more experienced players I will learn everything I need to know...I just need to play a game with you guys.

For me, working weekends its nigh impossible to find the time off unless i use a vacation or a personal day. I am throwing a wild idea out there, but is it possible to have a tournament strung out over a couple week nights? like a tue/ wed  or the same week night in multiple or two weeks? does that make any sense? i know its unconventional, but just a thought. I know the problem that may occur is that people show up the first day and then not on others, but then they would simply forfeit there entrance fee. . .. . . . . .. . .I am gonna try and commit to an even soon, if brother maynard picks me up and drops me off . . :p
