Good call on two separate events between the two tourneys. Again, no support allowed the original rules to be relaxed, and the lack of "official" judging. No sleight against the judges, but models with plenty of visible mold lines shouldn't be winning prizes.<BR/><BR/>I belive the 4 round format would only really work if the points were capped back to 1500, and 1 1/2 hour games, otherwise you're looking at things not wrapping up until 8 and 9 pm, and 12 hours is a rather long day, especially for those traveling an hour or more to get there.<BR/><BR/>I agree on your points in scoring, and found the individual who won Best Army a touch of an odd choice.<BR/><BR/>For the painting, I point you to the first segment of my commentary. Since it was no longer a sanctioned GW event, the rules were relaxed on painting (something which had been stressed as absolutely critical in the weeks leading up to the event by the organizers).<BR/><BR/>As you say, though, it was a good day, reasonably smoothly run, and in general an enjoyable event, improved from the year past.
