Running the Gauntlet
2012 Tournament Packet

Welcome All! Running the Gauntlet is a 6 round Steamroller series geared toward gathering Warmachine/Hordes Players from a multitude of stores to support the hobby and the stores that are carrying Privateer Press products. We want to keep this game going strong! Each Tournament will be 50 points using standard SR2012 rules. There is a $10 entry fee.

Before the event, go to the Tournament Record Sheet in the SR packet and fill it out before the event, and hand it to the TO on game day. This is to ensure that the event starts on a timely fashion. Print a 2^nd copy for yourself. We look forward to seeing you at this series!

[PG_Trollbloods76]

We should be receiving the information from Time Warp soon....

[PG_Trollbloods76]

Due to scheduling changes we have switched stores and dates with TOGIT and Maplewood, so Maplewood is actually May 19th, and TOGIT will be in June 16th.

-Chris

[D.Sanchez]

You might want to edit that in the list on the first post Chris

That was the next step.... Hopefully you will make this one.


TB76

[D.Sanchez]

[PG_Junior]

Any idea on the start time at Time Warp?

[D.Sanchez]

Did the dates change. You have maplewood on the 19th of may(up top) and in the post(below) you have maplewwod on the 12th of may.

[PG_Trollbloods76]

The actual schedule is the one you should pay attention too...unless I send out an emergency blast and I can't get on the forum.

What time does the Tournament on Sunday at Time Warp start?

[MeniteTom]

Yeah, Timewarp doesn't even have the event listed on their site.

[Malarowski]

10 AM from what I heard.

[PG_Junior]

Thanks Mike, I hope to see you guys there

[PG_Trollbloods76]

I talked to TW today...they were trying to finalize the final details. Hopefully their post will be up soon!

[MeniteTom]

Still nothing?

[Spume]

I'm not 100% on what happened, and I don't want to throw anyone under the bus but the tournament tomorrow has been moved to The Game Room in Woodbridge Mall. I will be posting all the particulars as soon as Chris gets them to me. I'm going to assume a 10AM Registration 11AM Dice time. But like I said I'll post here ASAP will all particulars. Sorry for the last minute changes and inconvenience, but this might just work out for our more Southern Jersey players as Gameroom is much closer.

Stay tuned,
Lee

As per Chris:

Hey gang,

I was informed today that this months location had to be adjusted. We will be meeting at the Game Room instead, for tomorrow. Please be there by 11:00, I would like to get rolling by 11:30. Having your sheets filled out before hand speeds up the process.

-50 points, up to two lists, character restrictions, divide and concur.

-Placement prizes can be found on the tournament packet. Which is on the PP forums under organized play.

-Death clock format. CP will be primary tie breaker.

- Subway will give us our customary meal deal, which is right downstairs from the store.

-Factions don't have to be fully painted to play. Armies must be fully painted to compete for best painted army.

-There will be a best painted mini competition that tournament gamers may participate in.

-22 slots

Best I could do off of short notice. As of right now, Maplewood is still the location for next month.
