The top players from across the North American continent came together at Games and Stuff in Glen Burnie to fight it out to see who would take home this year’s Masters Champion title.

Tournament Format |
This year's tournament had a very interesting format, to keep the veteran players on their toes.
Players created a base 1400-point army list, as well as three 250-point Task Force attachments, titled 1, 2, 3.
Each Task Force had to be made up of complete, legal platoons from the army's Intelligence Briefing, and each of the three Task Forces had to be completely different from one another.
After the mission for each round was randomly determined, players decided on what Task Force to add to their army according to the following rules.
For rounds 1-3, the TO made a random dice roll:
- Task Force 1
- Task Force 2
- Task Force 3
- Opponent's Choice (lists must be provided openly to opponent)
- Player's Choice
- No Task Force allowed
For rounds 4-6 players were allowed to choose which Task Force to use, as best fit the selected mission. But each Task Force could only be used twice during the tournament.
