Welcome back for the SECOND year!
I wanted to thank everyone for for getting us off to a great start last year.
There are several new things to talk about for the tournament this year.

There's tweaks to the rules set which should liven thing up a lot for coaches new and old!
I'm also welcoming in two new Races into the fold for the bashing mayhem.
I'll be going into each of these things in detail right here! Keep your eyes open here for more!

There are a few things different about the tournament rules sets this year.
There aren't a great many differences but they are important ones.

Team/Roster creation
Coacheswill now need to have eleven players before hiring a Star player.
The Tiered roster creation has given a lot more freedom for coaches and we honestly expect to see fewer star player choices because of it anyway.

Which Tier are you hanging from?
There's a new Tiered team creation system we're using this year.
All indications are that itwent so well and much more smoothly that expected.
There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be using it for both our tournaments and so we're doing just that.
Build up those teams for the benefit of every player or stack on the skills to make your very own homemade Star player!

COACHES! PLEASE BE AWARE!

GAMA has (once again) messed up the event listings.
The Saturday Tournament Start time as listed in the Event Grid for Origins shows 10am as our start time.

THIS IS WRONG.

Please refer to the Tournament Rules Pack for an accurate schedule
Check-in : 8:30am
Game 1 Kick-off: 9:30am

Do you know EXACTLY what sort of havoc you're going to wreak on your opponents?
Have you had your roster prepped and ready since January?
Why not save yourself some time and get it to us before the convention?

Feel free to send us your team rosters (complete with your name and NAF ID & # if applicable) and we'll get you in the lists so that all you have to do is show up and curse NUFL for the dice results.

COACHED PLEASE BE AWARE

Due to the incorrect times listed for the Tournament event there may be Timing/scheduling conflicts in the Registration system if you are participating in other events at the convention.

WE WILL ACCEPT GENERIC TOKENS as entry fee into the Saturday event to work around this issue.
Just sign up for your events for the day/weekend normally and show up for check-in Saturday morning with Generics in hand.
Thank you.

We'll be set up with the guys under the SGG banner(formerly 40korigins) in the Gaming hall.
I'll post a more exact location on Wednesday after discovering where GAMA's put us.

We'll be set up in Gaming Hall A - Section 517
- this is the first hall on the right after coming off the escalators
- 517 is all the way to the back RIGHT of the hall - Look for the big "SGG" Banner
