After the fiasco that was Owl-con something Dave said had me thinking.
Why the hell don't we do our own monthly tournament? I mean Dave and Colby go down to Austin once a month for the monthly tourney down there. Why can't we do our own ?
We have a couple of options:
If our store is willing to support us, we could host it one Saturday a month. $15 entry fee, if we can at least get 10 players that would be $150 total, $90 for the winner, $45 to best painted, and $15 incentive for someone to judge.
The judge will typically be one of us Angry Marines. Meaning that we couldn't participate, hence the incentive.
If we really need to give the store some incentive, we could make those straight gift cards (with the exception of the judge incentive)
Now if the store is unable to I can talk to the guys at Asgard if they'll be willing to host us. This way we can attempt to get players from all over Houston as well.
This way we can show them what a real tournament (ducking) means. *grumbles about Owl-con mission 2*
