The 2008 W&C Attacktix Tournament- (Western PA)

[Deleted]

...And the results are in! We all had a ton of fun, but in the end only 3 players proved themselves to be worthy of prizes. So here they are, the Wombat & Chips Attacktix Tournament 2008 winners!

1st Place: (9/0) Jason (reallyniceguy) -Jason was undefeated in the event!

2nd Place: (6/3) Larry (Larimus Prime)

3rd Place: (6/3) Troy (SinisterSyndicater)

Check out my PhotoBucket album for the event here.

...And here's how the rest of us losers ranked:

4th Place: (5/4) Anna (MidnightMajick) / Dennis (Me ) tied for 4th. She was very tough in the tourny and actually started the chain reaction that caused my downfall. She handed me the first in a series of defeats.

5th Place: (4/5) Michael (Himura297) / Scott (non-board member) tied for 5th.

6th Place: (3/6) Steven (non-board member) took 6th, and was pretty darn good for a guy who said he hadn't played in a couple of years!

7th Place: (2/7) Alice (non-board member) played Attacktix for the first time in the tournament, and actually caught on very quickly!

8th Place: (1/8) Hunter (non-board member) also played for the first time, and she also did great for a beginner!

Everyone did an awesome job in the tourny, but I want to commend Scott, Steven, Alice, and Hunter for their bravery. There were a few drop-outs in the tournament, but those 4 kept going against the more experienced players and saw the thing through til the end! Great job guys!

Thanks to everyone that participated and helped to make it such a fun night!

I will be sponsoring the 2008 Wombat & Chips Attacktix Tournament, that will be hosted by our local gaming workshop Wombat & Chips.

Where:
510 Tevebaugh Rd.
Freedom, PA 15042

When:
June 20th, 2008
5pm-9pm

Cost of Admission:
$1 per person. Every cent of that dollar goes to the JDRF.

Tournament Guidelines:
- Players will face off in one-on-one matches in this round-robin style tournament
- Squads must total 100pts, with a maximum of 50pts in Back-Ups (Back-Ups are optional)
- No more than 5 of the same figure per squad (this means any figure with the same exact name/ID number)
- Players must use same squad throughout entire tourny (no changing your squad after tourny has started)
- Bring your own figures or borrow a friend’s, but NO sharing squads/figures during the tourny (no swapping figures back/forth after tourny has started)
- For any rule questions/dilemmas we'll be consulting the Official Attacktix Tournament rules and, if need be, the ARC rulings.
- Prizes for the top 3 players!

And those prizes, provided by yours truly, are:

3rd Place:
Marvel Series 1 Starter + M01 Spiderman and M02 Punisher

2nd Place:
Transformers Series 1 Starter (with P01 Decepticlone) + TF01 Minicon, TF02 Omnicon, and TF03 Decepticlone

1st Place:
Star Wars Series 4 Starter (with P02 Clone Trooper) + SW(4)01 Biker Scout, SW(4)02 Endor Scout, SW(4)03 Wicket, SW(4)04 Stormtrooper, and SW(4)05 Royal Guard

Sure, the prizes aren't Silver Tournament figures or unreleased sets, but I'm using this Tourny mostly as a way to get some of the other local kids interested in the game. That's why Starter sets are the prizes.... TA-DA! Instant squad!



It will be a small tournament with only the single main event, but it'll be a ton of fun (as if you didn't know that ) and will be a great chance meet some current players and possibly create some new future ones in the process.

If you live nearby or will be in the area at that time, come on down! Anyone interested in attending can post their questions/comments here.

So far, those scheduled to attend are:
Me
MidnightMajick
Himura297
reallyniceguy
LarimusPrime
SinisterSyndicater
MidnightMajick's Dad
and around 8 other non-board members

Hope it goes well for you, very nice to be donating the money to the Diabetes Research foundation, I'm starting to get my team together for this years Walk to Cure Diabetes.

A little metallic paint is a great way to make fun trophies too. Hope it goes well.

Alas being about 1424 miles further for us, I too and going to have to chalk it up as too far a drive, but good choice in charity.

I hope it goes well, and do tell what the results are.

June 20th, hmm.......LUGNUTS! I will be in Pittsburgh on the following Monday so I can't make it. BOOO

[SinisterSyndicater]

Good that means I may have a chance, lol.

[Himura297]

Yes SinisterSyndicater, it looks like some of us lower-level players will have a chance. *cough* defender *cough* lol

[superflytnt]

Hey now, when DoNP and Midnight played with me I think they won some!

Lower level... what a joke. 99% of the game is sheer dumb luck and 1% aiming skill.

Now Syndicater....he definately applies for LOWER LEVEL players... ROFL....190 points LEFT! ROFL ;D j.k

I should have used all that "luck" on Monday against you on a lotto ticket instead! ;D

I won't be able to make this tournament, but hope that it goes well - everyone has a great time - and we get some new recruits for the game that we all love!

[SinisterSyndicater]

Hey I took out about 300 points worth of Obi-Wans They just wouldn't stay down.

I know this would be quite a long trip for most of you guys, but I just wanted to post a reminder for anyone that might be interested.

The W&C Tournament is this Friday (6/20) at 5:00pm. See the first post for location and other details.

I'd say our W&C Tournament was a success! We got some people to play that wouldn't normally play, and hopefully they'll keep their interest in the game.

I think we had 13 players there, though only 10 actually played all the way through the tourny... bah, quitters!

I'll be posting the winners and pics from the event as soon as possible, which will probably be tomorrow afternoon.

[greyelephant]

For some reason I had it in my head that your tournament was today. I'm glad you guys had a good time and look forward to seeing the pictures when you post them.

[Himura297]

It was definitely a fun time playing in that tournament. It was very well organized, and I made it a lot farther in it than I had expected! Everything ran smoothly and everyone who participated had fun, so overall it was a good time. Congrats Defender for putting this success together.

If anyone remembers, please post the winning squads too
