Just for those who missed. Pics of Owlcon
So this past Saturday, I took my Eldar to a 2000pts RTT. Followed bu Dave with SW and Colby with Guard
Win is worth 15 pts, Loss is 5, then there are modifiers
24 Players in all, over 12 tables. Now don't be aghast, when you see what is typically found terrain for these tournaments:

2nd Gave Vs Nids:
To quote David
"Honestly, I'm great at 40k, I'm flippin fantastic. 2nd round was NOT 40k."
3 Objectives start at the center of the board. At the end of every player turn, each objective will move 3D6 Scatter die (use arrow on Hit). Every unit can attempt to "Hold," the objective. Troops on a 4+, General on a 3+, everything else on 5+. Contested Objectives cannot be "Held."
Disclaimer: You do NOT put a mission like this in a competitive setting.
2nd round Vs Nids:
Pitched Battle
Infiltrators
Deep Strike
Random Game Length
+1 If you control any objectives
+1 if your general is alive
+1 if your general controls an objective
-1 If you control no objectives
-1 if your highest point unit is dead / fleeing
Unpainted models were objective counters
By the end of the game, my opponent had 2 out of 3 Thropes, 1 spore, 5 termagants and 2 out of 3 Hive Guard. I had pretty much my army left. After top of turn 6, objectives scattered away from me and landed in his lap. No turn 7. Now like I said, I'm fantastic at 40k, that was not 40k.
