Hey guys, just wanted to let everyone know about a cool event were running at FTW (http://www.ftwgames.net) games next weekend; a Charity Team Tournament for 40k. Details Below
We will be having an SPR Sponsored 40k Team Tournament on December 18th at 9 am. This is a Charity Event with the proceeds raised for the event going to AARF a Richmond Organization dedicated to helping local dogs find homes. Most of the details are below, but if you want more info you can go to the SPR forums (http://www.stonypointrefugees.com/index.php)(it's also a good way to advertise for a partner).
Since it is a charity event, and we are trying to raise money for AARF, we are adding a few twists to the event!
There will be a silent auction, which will switch to a normal auction after the event for donated new and used gaming items. We will also give each player the opportunity to purchase "cheaty dice" for the event (idea shamelessly stolen from the Game Vault) see below.
This is the raising money and really really fun part. Part of the game is to win by donating to the charity. The donations and the amount of donations you make will help you to not only win your games but help you win the overall tournament. The intent is that the winners should by and large be the ones who made supporting donations to the cause. Of course good generalship can overcome this, but it won't be easy.
How to improve your odds.
1. "Cheatty Dice".
For each dollar donated you will receive a token. You may play the token at any time during any of your games.
The token will allow you to reroll any dice on the board yours or your opponent. You may even reroll a reroll with the token do this as many times as you and or your opponent have tokens and wish to challenge the dice.
You may donate as much as you like but you cannot receive more than 20 Cheatty Dice
2. "Mega Cheatty Dice" For every $10 dollars or "tenth" dollar donated the normal reroll token will be replaced with a MEGA Token. The Mega token will allow all dice to be re rolled for any one unit for one phase of shooting/close combat to hit, shooting/close combat to wound, or saves.
You may donate as much as you like but you can only receive 2 Mega Cheatty Dice rolls.
3. "Cheatty Chits". For every dollar donated (to include your admission fee) you will have a ticket entered into a raffle. (This raffle also includes prizes as well.) Every game 3 tickets will be pulled these tickets will allow the controlling player to utilize special rules/cheats during the game according to the cheatty chit.
There is no limit to how often you get a cheatty chit. Ever dollar donated will increase you chance at a cheatty chit and prizes.
To register you can call the store 804-464-1873 or email us. Entry must be paid in advance to secure your spot in the event!

7. Prizes

Overall Champion: 40% (Team award, 20% per player). This is the team with the most overall points, includes the battle points for all three rounds, the painting scores of both team members, and the players choice score.
Best Painted: 30% (Team award, 15% per player). During the lunch break, judges will inspect and score the painting on all the armies. To keep things objectively based, a checklist will be used to evaluate each army.
Best General: 20% (Team award, 10% per player). This is for the team with the most battle points.
Player’s Choice Award: 10% (Team award, 5% per player). Each team will have the opportunity to rank each of the teams they have fought against using a simple checklist.
If a team wins multiple awards they will only receive the award with the highest prize and the award for any other category they have won will go to the runner up in that category.
