If any Gencon attendee has the time I and I am sure at least a few others would love some tournament coverage such as races played, decisive gaming moments, winners prizes handed out etc.

We have the booth setup. I'll have to take some pictures and send them on.

Well I can tell you about the Single Race results, since I ran the tournament.

First Place: Bradley Swanson
Second Place: John Monnett
Third Place: Pat Pint
Fourth Place: Matt Arnold

Bradley and John both played Frostwing armies, Pat played Goblins and Matt played Treefolk.

So, there is one result.

Thank you very much for the info. Also was there a prize handed out? Or was it just for fun/ranking? I am curious as to how SFR tournaments are run.

Sealed box tournament winner was John Koslow; Matt Arnold came in second, and Jeff Chen came in third. The fourth qualifier (John Harrington) didn't show up for the finals, so he got an automatic fourth place.

Night of the Living Dead had only two people, Chuck Pint and myself. Chuck of course won that one.

No Magicians had three players. Chuck Pint won that as well, with myself coming in second, and Matt Arnold in third.

Battlefest was brutal and I don't want to talk about it. Mad

Suffice to say that Scott Cobbs won that hands down with his (illegal) all black Dragonmaster army.

World Championship Finals was won by Scott Cobbs with a black/blue Dragonmaster/Dragonhunter army. Second place was won by John Monnett with a Frostwing army. Third place was taken by myself with a Goblin/Swampstalker/Treefolk army. Fourth place went to Matt Arnold with a Treefolk army.

Matt Arnold was the fourth place winner of Single Race.

You'll have to ask Chuck about Misfit Monster Bash.

He was able to play because Chuck and Mark (the gamemaster) let him play.

It was illegal because there is a limit of 3 black dragonmasters in a 60 point game. Battlefest lets you bring as many mages as you want, but the limit on Eldarim is still in effect.

And yes, it was very nasty. As far as I can remember, the person who did the best against Scott was Chuck, who lost on the tie-breaker rules when time was called.

So basically, it was ruled that "there is no limit to the number of magic-using dice" meant that if any die had magic or cantrip you could use as many copies of that die as you wanted, regardless of other game-based limitations?

But that is not how it was ruled at the tournament you played in, right? I myself was under the impression that "no limit to the number of magic-using dice" in the Battlefest rules applied only to the 50% magic-using unit limit. But it appears that the most inclusive meaning of "no limit" is that any rule that would limit the inclusion of any unit with magic or cantrip icons is ignored for this format. Like I said, I didn't read the rule that way originally, and I am not sure if that was the intent of the original rule (maybe the writers could shed a little light), but the way it was ruled at GenCon is one possible interpretation of the rule. And, obviously, sets a precedence for any other tournaments in the Battlefest format.

It wasn't a ruling; it was Chuck being too tired to argue with Scott about it and just let him play it because that was easier. They did argue about it for a couple of minutes. The problem was that Scott was using the old TSR version of Battlefest rules and Chuck was using the newer SFR rules. If I had been running the event, I would has disqualified Scott, board member or not.

For all future tournaments, the Battlefest rules will be as I described above (unless SFR changes them, of course. But I don't see that happening.).

If there are any further questions, I'll let Chuck or any of the other board members answer them.
