First I'd like to say "Thank You!" to all of you who gave me feedback when we first came up with the idea of this tournament. You guys ROCK!! This really is a great community, and I am proud to be a part of it. Unfortunately, I am unable to make it to Gencon this year, so we wanted to put together a tournament with a National/Regional tournament flavor, but in the off-season. That is why we decided to put together this tournament. It will give everyone a chance to build their best squads using R&R and BoT and run them in a more competitive environment. We wanted to make it far enough AFTER R&R and BoT came out that everyone had some time to develop some competitive squads, but not so far after that it started to run into the holiday season. I think that October is the perfect time. We also realize that many people (myself included) are excited about the upcoming EPIC DUOS set that is coming out. So we wanted to find a way to work that into this event. So, the plan is to run THREE tournaments on THREE consecutive days. Right now is planned for a Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday.
The first tournament (EPIC DUOS) is planned for Friday October 14th at 7pm. We will be doing this the same way it was done at GENCON. When you get there you will receive you EPIC randomly. You will then need to add one more figure not to exceed a squad build of 200pts. The games should be able to be played fast enough that we can finish the whole tournament in 4 hours. The goal right now is to have a complete set of EPIC DUOS customs to give away as part of the prize support, depending on turnout of course.
The second tournament (200pt constructed) will begin on Saturday October 15th at 11am.
The winner of this tournament will be considered to be the WAMPA Stompa Champion! Depending on how many show, we plan on giving away a complete set of R&R customs and possibly a complete set of BoT customs.
The third tournament will be a 300pt EPIC Fantastic Four. Your squad must contain exactly one (1) EPIC figure and three (3) other figures not to exceed 300 pts. There will also be other customs (R&R, BoT, and/or EPICs) to given away at this tournament.
