Tournament series overview:
This event will be a series of 3 escalation tournaments resulting in a grand champion being crowned in the December Finale! The event dates are OCT 4th (650 Pts), NOV 8th (750 Pts), and DEC 6th (850 Pts).
Each individual event will have store credit going to the top three players if we have under 20 attendees. At 20+ players, store credit goes out to the top five players. There will be awards for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, best painted army, best display board, and K*ll monger at each event.

In order to be eligible for the Grand Champion Prize in December you must show up with the same army at each of the events. The composition of models within the list can change but the same army list must be taken to each event. Points will be gathered up from each of the three tournament dates and the player with the most points will be given a Grand Champion Trophy. K*ll monger points will also be tracked over all three events (the K*ll Monger must be the army general and has to be the same general each time to be eligible) to award a K*ll Monger King award at the December finale.
