Flames Of War International Player Ranking System Battlefront Miniatures in conjunction with Rankings HQ, www.rankingshq.com, is pleased to announce the creation of a Flames Of War international player ranking system. Tournament organizers will have the ability to post their tournament results on the Rankings HQ website and the system will calculate the scores for thousands of players. This ingenious system designed by Andrew Galea will finally settle those arguments between friendly rivalries, encourage players to attend lots of tournaments and reward those players who perform admirably at larger events.

The concept is incredibly easy and opens up a brand new world of competitive play for Flames of War tournament fanatics. Players who participate in ranked tournaments will automatically be enrolled in the ranking system and you can freely register on the Rankings HQ website. Players can participate in as many tournaments as they want and the rankings will sort each player based on their top four performances throughout the season. The more participants the higher each player’s score will be so for example, winning a 50 person tournament earns more points than winning a 12 person tournament.

Tournament organizers, clubs and stores interested in hosting a ranked event will need to contact Battlefront Miniatures, [email protected], in order to add the tournament to the schedule. A minimum of 12 players who participated in the tournament are required for a ranked event. So now that you have a better understanding of the Rankings we are proud to inform you that the first Flames of War ranked tournament in the world will occur at Adepticon on March 26-27, 2010 in Lombard, IL. The ranked tournament at Adepticon will be the two day Mid War Tournament hosted by Game Korps. For more information about this event check out www.adepticon.org.

Spring Recruits 2010 Adding to the list of ranked tournaments, Charles and the team from the 10th Cav have announced that Spring Recruits 2010 will be the 2nd official ranked tournament in the US. Recruits is a Western European Theater themed tournament event on March 26-28, in Kansas City. For more information on the event check out their thread in the Conventions and Events forum. We look forward to seeing everyone on the battlefield and remember to have fun and keep it clean!!  ~ Battlefront Miniatures
