    Here are the emails you can use. If the spreadsheet isn't cooperating you can maually email me the picks. With google Drive it shows as a pdf until you acutally download the spreadsheet.

    Let me know how else I can help you, I have received some brackets already so I don't know if yours is an isolated incident or if others are having the same problem. Let me know how I can help, I'd like to make sure everyone interested gets a chance to participate.

    Easy, its a double elimination tournament. In game 20 one of the two players is undefeated, IF the undefeated player loses that game then those two will have to play each other again to ensure someone is eliminated with two losses.

    Yes, as the players figure out when they will be playing we will be posting game times so spectators may come and watch. Some of them will also have an open skype channel for those of us spectating so we can bs while the players play. Though the players will be in their own private channel.

    eDoomy vs pMadrak
    the Lists

    Chief Madrak Ironhide (*6pts) eDoomy
    * Trollkin Runebearer (2pts) Mulg
    Mauler (9pts) Mauler
    Kriel Warriors (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts) EBDT
    * 3 Kriel Warrior Caber Thrower (3pts) Axer
    * Kriel Warrior Standard Bearer & Piper (0pts) Runebearer
    Kriel Warriors (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts) Whelps
    * 2 Kriel Warrior Caber Thrower (2pts)
    Kriel Warriors (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts)
    * 3 Kriel Warrior Caber Thrower (3pts)
    Kriel Warriors (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts)
    * 3 Kriel Warrior Caber Thrower (3pts)


    pMadrak get the first turn
    Everything runs, Mauler gets surefoot hangs out in the middle of the army.
    eDoomy first turn
    All the beast advances to roughly the edge of where the front most KW can charge to so the beasts arent in real danger. Doomshaper hangs out in the back puts wild aggression on Mulg and Refuge on EBDT.
    pMadrak turn 2.
    Everything runs again jamming all my beasts, mauler is right behind the front line with surefoot being upkept, giving the bonus to most of the model that will be attacked.
    eDoomshaper turn 2
    I decide that I need to kill the Mauler, its something I was planning on doing if given the chance as soon as I saw his list. There are roughly 6 KW in the way that if I clear anyone of my heavies can get there. My first thought is to use Mulg to kill it but he has Wild aggression on him to start if I want to cycle it for multiple warbeasts. So he gets clearing duty. and clear he does with boosted hits reach and goading along he clears a decent path. There is one Caber thrower I am questioning whether he wil mess with the charge so I activate Doomshaper and primal shock him, take up leaves him in play. Rage on the mauler for free, camp 3. Runebearer puts Wild aggression on the Mauler and the more I look at it I should have no problem with the charge. Kill the mauler goad to kill a KW. 4 fury for him and 4 on Mulg as well right next to him. The EBDT just decides to start killing and kills and goads his way to some more dead KWs. With 5 fury on the EB, the Axer decides to just walk up and thresher, 3 hit KW, 3 failed tough rolls. Turn

    pMadrak turn 3
    Time to retaliate. And here is the problem with medium based infantry only so many will fit around a target. EBDT knocked down left with roughly 10 boxes. Axer KD, left with 4 boxes. Spawned whelps behind EBDT and Mulg for fury management. He attacks the Mauler KD Whelp spawned to prevent remaining unit for charging and the KW fails to do damage. The solo KW from the front unit charges the whelp to clear the path and misses. Madrak feat and kills the 2 of the 4 whelps out, but now he is in the of the Mauler being charged. Caber charges whelp hiding behind EBDT and collateral fail to kill the back whelp.

    eDoomy turn 3
    Comfort food for mulg, leech everything on Mauler, EBDT with 5 fury rolls sanke-eyes and passes threshold check. I get in a hurry and decide to to EBDT's attacks he has no mind so cant hit OOPs #1.
    The path is pretty clear for mulg with 2 models in the way so Mauler goes to clear with Wild Aggression upkept on him. Kills the first KW and then decides to goad with my not noticing a Caber in the back row facing him barely in melee. FS knocked down, OOPS #2. Fine Doomshaper cast Wild aggression on Mulg, Rage for free, and Primal Shocks the last KW possibly in the way. Hits no tough. Mulg charges in finishes off Madrak with 3 attacks, the first one was scrolled.

    I send several emails since last friday. They must not have gotten through or something. We need to obviously get the game cleared quickly.

    PM me on this account and Largi as well and we can sort out when to host our game.

    Yep, our game was fun - unfortunately I hadn't played the pMadrak krielspam list more than once before as I tend towards the beast brick so I got too far forward with my Mauler. Worst part is I didn't need to get closer, as Surefoot isn't much help against eDoomy and I could have hung back sending KWs forward turn after turn until the beasts were whittled down with little difficulty.

    I gave him one opening and he was good enough to force it wide open and nab the win! Congrats! Next time I won't go down so easily!
