*** On a side note, we have a few spots left. If your friends are interested, now is the time to book your ticket!

LISTS

We have already received many lists at this point. Having lists early helps us check them for errors. We want to ensure that every list is legal and we will contact you if there is something wrong. We will also be verifying lists at the door. Therefore you need to bring nine (9) copies of your list. One for every possible opponent, one for the judges, one for yourself. You will also need a 3 copies of your 500 point skirmish list, and 1000 point doubles list.

A note on doubles; if you submitted the lists separately, thats fine. For those who have still not sent doubles lists, send both together in one document. That is the easiest way for us to check. All lists can be submitted in ONE email. Again, if you have already sent it, then it is fine. This is for going further.

We are also extending the deadline for lists to be submitted to Wednesday october 5th, by the end of the day. If you submit your list by the end of the day today, 10/4/11, we are still rewarding those players with extra raffle tickets. You receive one raffle ticket for each list, Doubels, GT, and Skirmish.

PUNCTUALITY, PAINTING, THINGS TO BRING AND DO, VISITORS

As you will see in the schedule, we are starting early on Saturday. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time in the morning. Once the pairings go off, you will have 10 minutes to register before you are given an automatic loss in game one. If you are late, it takes away from the time you have to play the game and is unfair to your opponent.

You need to bring everything that pertains to your army: Codex, Rule book, pens, display board etc. We are not requiring display boards for painting but it does make your day easier transporting your army from table to table. ***You do not need dice or tape measurers. You will be supplied with them at registration. You MUST use the dice provided in the tournament for all rounds.

All models, MUST be WYSIWYG (Modeled appropriately). They must be based, meaning on the appropriate sized base. Flock doesnt affect your ability to play, just your painting score.

We will have an area for visitors, any guests not playing will not be allowed at the tournament tables. All things brought to the tournament are not the responsibility of the Tournament Staff and/or the Palisades Mall. Make sure you are aware of your things at all times.

I hope this email has cleared up any questions. Feel free to contact me on anything regarding this weekend.

Bob Sinnott,
Battle for Salvation TO
