2013 Tournament Season with John Matthews With 2012 coming to a close, staffing changes and a general “Let’s look at where we are,” we have decided to change it up a bit for 2013 and beyond. We are committed to running a successful tournament schedule for both independent-run events and our own. These will be of many different types, points levels, size, etc, but the most important thing is that we think all tournaments are great; there is no one correct way of doing them.

The big thing that we are going to change is the qualification system in the USA. We are going to go to an open format for participation in our national events, which will increase to four in 2013: East, West, Chicago and Texas. We will still be recording results either on Rankings HQ or on our own site, to make sure all tournaments are equally relevant. Prize support will not be changing, except to increase, and we are always open to requests. So get the tournament organiser to ask us, as you never know what we might agree to. We plan to get more events running than ever before not just tournaments but themed battle events as well.

Our intent here is to make it easier to organise an event, easier to run said event and to get more people to more events. I look forward to seeing many of you at events like Wolfskrieg, Shifting Sands, Bane of War, Showdown at Showcase, Nova Open, Heat of Battle, Siege of Augusta, Rapier Con and Tacticon, to name just a few.   I hope this is met with general enthusiasm from our regular tournament attendees in the USA and obviously it is my cunning way of trying to get the biggest-attended tournament back in the States, after the awesome result in Poland and the ETC, which currently holds the title of most attendees. (Yes, when I’m over the other side of the pond I'm going to be beating the drum to try to make sure that does not happen, and the highest is still there LOL)   ~ John.
