Flames of War @ Legiocon XII!

First of all, thanks to everyone who showed up!  Especially for Chris Allen for helping run the tournament and finding Prize Support.  Everyone who attended went home with something!

Thanks to Derrick Young for taking photos of the Awards. (I was busy handing them out!)

We had 10 People registered for the event, though one did not show, making it necessary for me to become involved so there would be no "Buys" or "Byes" or whatever.

The "Rogue's Gallery" or Tournament PLAYERS!

Tournament was 3 rounds using the "Free-For-All", the "Pincer" and the "Hasty Attack" missions from the rule book.  Players were awarded up to 6 points per mission using the standard victory conditions.

Sportsmanship was awarded using a new system Chris introduced (I'm probably gonna steal it for all my tournaments): each player awarded his opponents a 1 or 0 depending on whether he was a good player or a "bad player".  Each player was then allowed to vote for his "Favorite Opponent" that he played against.  Potentially, this allowed everyone a maximum of 6 points (equal to another game) whereas, in reality, it was  impossible for EVERYONE to get maximum scores.  Only 2 people got perfect scores in this tournament.

Painting was also a simple 6-point score (again, equivalent to an extra game):
1 - No Paint - Glad you showed up!
2 - Primed but no colours
3 - Base coated
4 - Models are properly Based, more than 1 colour
5 - Models are Highlighted, have Decals, etc
6 - A Themed and Cohesive Force - everything appears completed

Possible extra point for "Favorite Army" (Selected by the Players) if it was required.

Scores and prizes were awarded as follows:

(Note:  Proving he deserved "Bes Sportsmanship", Hugh informed me of an error - Duncan Irwin won a battle against Hugh and moved up in the listings to 6th overall!  Thanks Hugh!  Sorry Duncan!)
