"GBnU Tournament 2014 Update" Topic

I am excited to announce that the Good, Bad and Ugly Tournament US leg has teamed up with HMGS MidSouth for 2014. This will provide a new venue with plenty of space, and hopefully additional players. I am also pleased to announce that my bride, Jeanne, will serve as the score keeper this year

The exact date is yet to be determined, but it will be held in the October to November early time frame as is the traditional time for this event.

For the US leg, it is a 15 MM event using HotT 2.0, and the theme again is armies based on children's books. However, a theme army is not mandatory, as long as the army can be declared as either Good or Bad.

This event is still to be an international event, with the UK signed up right now and invitations out to Australia, New Zealand, Spain and France, and additional invitations will be going out for other locations to join in.

More on this event to follow, and the date will be published as soon as it can be determined.

We had a blast with this last year and you can't ask for a better organizer of a tournament!

Of course this year I intend to actually give my army weapons. Last year you would think my Easterling army had left all of their axes at home given their performance in the tournament.

We are happy to help!

This tournament is still a ways off, not being until the fall, and I will try to not conflict with Fall In this time. But wanted to share the duties of a Leg Coordinator for those who might be thinking of joining in this year.

It is open to any country, or city/area which would like to participate but isn't able to make the trip to Coventry or Nashville. The Nashville leg will be held in our new gaming facility and space is not limited as it was previously. So hte more hte merrier.

Remember the theme this year is armies based on children's books/movies but theme armies are not a requirement – just ones that are either good or bad!

Here are the requirements of the Leg Coordinators

2014
Good, Bad and Ugly Tournament
Leg Coordinator Responsibilities

For the 2014 GBnU Tournament a "Leg" is defined as a group of tournament competitors who are separate and not participating in tournament play with another leg. For example in 2013 we had a UK leg in Coventry and in the US a leg in Nashville.

Any group who can muster a minimum of six players, three Good and three Bad, may participate and be eligible for the over all tournament prizes. One person must be designated as the Leg Coordinator.

The duties and responsibilities of Leg Coordinator consist of the following.

• Arrange for a game day and central location for the tournament.

• Arrange for any local prizes

• Collect and compile the following for the participants

o Participants names
o Army lists
o Scores

• Promptly forward final scores to Terry Webb for compilation with results from all legs to determine the top three and the bottom winner for awarding of the top Tournament Prizes, and the Tail End Charlie. All scores from each leg will be kept confidential to any other leg until all results are received and final compilation is completed.

Tie results will be handled as in 2013 by die rolls with witnesses under the supervision of Tournament Manager, Terry Webb.

Any news on a date ?

Guthroth, each leg will have it's own date, but it is to be in the fall time frame, October/November. If you will let me now what Leg would best serve you I will make that Leg Coordinator aware of your interest. Sorry I can't eb any more specific for now.

As the Nashville Leg Coordinator I can say that it will be in early November probably, but until I am advised of the dates the rooms are available for this event I cannot yet give a fixed date. I will do so as quickly as I can, and will also share other dates as I am advised.

Thanks for your interest,

Terry

Terry, that is what I feared.

Staines wargamers have been running a HoTT tournament in early Nov for several years.

There area already 3 British legs, including the one we attended last year so we have been reluctant to suck off atendees by adding ours to the list.

Sadly it looks like your choice of date will kill our tournament stone dead.
