NZTC is not a cheap event to run and has a number of logistical hurdles - being NZ's single largest gaming tournament. It requires an even of teams for a start and if a single person drops out then it impacts 7 others.
What I require now is a firm commitment from teams that they intend to participate. For me that means a Team Captain has firm commitments from three other people that they will play (barring death or debilitating illness). Last year I had a team drop in the week before (requiring another team to drop out) and a player cry off the night before which meant I had to find another player or seven people's weekends would have been impacted. That is not an easy task.
On top of this I have interest from at least two Australian teams to attend the event. Before they go and purchase airfares and accommodation I want to be able to commit to them that I have at least 10 local teams participating.
The headline details for the event are:
- Teams of Four
- 2000 point armies
- No duplication of races in the same team of four
- No Allies
- Each Magical Artefact may only be taken once by each team of four e.g. each team may only have one Caterpillar Potion, one set of Ensorcelled Armour etc
- Rulebook Missions
- Scoring W/D/L and recorded VPs
I'm assembling a team of top men as we speak.
