*****

The Battle for Salvation is an independently run NOVA-style Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament taking place Columbus Day weekend in 2011.

Its name comes from the Battle for Salvation gaming club responsible for organizing the event, which operates primarily out of space rented at the local Salvation Army. Comprised of a large number of players of varying interests and skill levels, the NOVA Open format was selected for this tournament because of its egalitarian approach that caters equally to all styles of hobby participation. Whether you’re in modeling, painting, tabletop domination, or a balance of all three, The Battle for Salvation gives you a chance to shine.

Yes...YES I did!!! My best painted trophy is a bottle of Jack Daniels single barrel with the tourny name etched on it so the fun will continue hehehe.

I am going to try and work the BFS into my tourny cycle this year to support them in the hopes that they support us.

New updated Hotel info up top.

We are half full as of now. Spots are starting to fill up fast. Reserve a room asap. Once we get to 64 registrants we will see about opening up to more players.

[fishboy]

Is day 3 (sunday) still a 2k tourny with single elimination or is it a 500 point event?

If we flop on Sat (day 2) is there a reason to show up on Sunday?

[zedsdead]

The format is similar to the NOVA. Everyone gets seeded into day 2 bracketing depending on day 1. So if you go 0-4 day 1 you get seeded into the 0-4 day 2 bracket. Day 2 brackets are single elimination so if you lose you get knocked out.

However, anyone who loses round #1 will automatically be put in a 3 round,500 pt. rtt with prize support.

So everyone is garanteed 6+ games for the weekend. 4 on sat and 2+ on sun. There is also the friday 2v2 team tourny as well.

[zedsdead]

just a reminder to anyone even considering they might attend and will need a hotel to make a reservation at the hilton garden inn. Columbus day is popular in this area with weddings and fall foliage watchers so rooms wont last long. The block of rooms is limited due to this.

hotels have 24-48 hr cancellations so if you choose not to attend there is little chance of getting stuck with a room you wont be using.

Also more info coming regarding the team tournament packet and gaming schedules
