Come to the First Annual Bugeater GT on June 24th-26th, 2011!

Purchase your ticket here: http://gt.bugeatergames.com/?page_id=93

The tournament, held at a local high school I teach at, is a fundraiser for the debate team that I help coach - so not only do you get to play your favorite game for 2-3 days but you also get to help out with kids' education! The tournament is based on the NOVA Open model, and has slots for 64 40k players and 32 Fantasy players. Cost is $45 for the two day tournament and the Friday night open and specialist gaming.

 

Information is available at the tournament website: http://gt.bugeatergames.com, but here is the skinny:

 

1) There isn't another GT within a 400 mile radius of Omaha. If you live in the Midwest and are looking to add to the events you frequent, consider driving or flying to Omaha for the Bugeater. It is a relatively low cost event in a city that is pretty cheap to visit. PLUS if you're a baseball fan the College World Series will be finishing up the week before the tournament - come a few days early and catch some great games!

 

2) If you're not familiar with the NOVA Open format, the Bugeater is an event that appeals to all types of gamers. More of the competitive, win or go home, style gamer? Then shoot for the Tournament Champion award, given to the lone undefeated player at the end of the tournament. Do you prefer to be rewarded for a your painting and sportsmanship as well as your tabletop performance? Then go for the Sweepstakes Champion award, given to the player with the strongest combination of battle points, painting, and sportsmanship (the term "Sweepstakes" comes from debate tournaments, and is the award give to the school with the best overall performance). Each award is equally valued, and both will receive tickets to future events and $150 gift vouchers to spend on GW merchandise.

 

3) It will be 1850 for 40k, and 2500 for Fantasy - the scenarios and more detailed rules are posted on the website.

 

4) We have a wide variety of prizes and swag for everyone. You'll be getting stuff like laser pointers and bricks of dice just for coming to the event. We have FFG rulebooks, Forgeworld Imperial Armor books, autographed Black Library novels, GW box sets, and more to give away. We have thousands of dollars in items - and odds are you'll make up the $45 you spent on your entry fee!

 

5) I check my PMs and emails often so if you have questions/suggestions/comments/are willing to help please email me or PM me. My email is RoyersT@gmail.com
