Golden Gargant 2015 Painting and Hobby Scoring System

I present to you the 2015 Painting and Hobby scoring system for the Golden Gargant at KublaCon 2015.

A single option is marked in each category save for options who's points are in parentheses which are taken in addition to the rest of the category's scoring; putting the maximum hobby score at 32 points. You may notice it looks a lot like last year's hobby rubric, and you'd be right! Save for one minor wording change it's identical. For those who would like a PDF copy of the rubric you'll find one here.

Cheers and happy painting!

We are working with the convention to get some staffers to come by for those who didn't get a chance to go to the convention registration desk. If we are able to they will likely only be able to take cash, so those who need to pay with card should be prepared to visit the registration desk before the tournament.Click here to find the official event listing, though anything you need is likely in the rest of this post.

KublaCon Golden Gargant 2014 Final Standings!

Finally (I know; my fault, sorry) I've got the final results for 2014's Golden Gargant at KublaCon.

It's organized by win/loss record, then battle points. Ties were resolved via strength of schedule. Battle points were added straight into the total. Like the Frontline Gaming tournament system wins are worth 1000 points, ties 500, and losses no-points; I've also provided the win/lows/tie breakdown for the sake of completeness. For those who would like a PDF copy of the rubric you'll find one here.

An interesting note is that our four (soon to get a new codex) Ork players landed in every scoring bracket, from 3 wins down to 3 losses.

Thanks to everybody who came out. It was stressful because of a couple hiccups, but you guys made it an awesome event to run! Also thanks to the guys at Frontline Gaming for including us in the Independent Tournament Circuit, and to them and Powered play for providing awesome prize support!

Cheers and happy gaming!

Golden Gargant 2014 Info, Rules, and Regulations!

UPDATE: THERE HAVE BEEN TWO SMALL CHANGES TO THE TOURNAMENT RULES! THEY ARE MARKED IN RED TEXT TO MAKE THEM MORE VISIBLE!

UPDATE #2 (5/1/14): FINAL UPDATE BEFORE KUBLACON! THE RULES HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO REFLECT THAT WE WILL BE PLAYING UNDER 6TH EDITION THIS YEAR, REGARDLESS OF NEW EDITION RELEASES. ROUNDS ARE 2 HOURS & 20 MINUTES LONG. SCENARIOS CHANGED TO USE DAWN OF WAR DEPLOYMENT FOR LOGISTICAL REASONS. CHANGES MARKED IN RED.

Hey, all! This marks my second year running the Golden Gargant tournament at KublaCon! This year instead of having a grotesquely long and complicated event listing on the KublaCon event search I'll be posting it here! Now you won't have to bounce all over the place looking at different sources for all the rules just to figure out what's going on! Before I go on I want to thank and give credit to the crew over at Frontline Gaming for providing an awesome tournament format that lets other tournament organizers have an easy base to work from and tweak for their needs. They also have some cool gaming mats that will be adoring a few of the tables this year (they're beer proof to boot...but let's avoid testing that for the sake of the terrain and minis).

Here's the basic rundown:
Sunday, May 25th.
Tournament Registration starts at 8:00 AM.
First Round starts at 9:00 AM.
1,750 Points. Standard Force Organization.
Three, Two-Hour & Twenty-Minute Rounds (Meal-Break After Round Two)
Hyatt Regency SFO
