2012 US Flames Of War Masters Tournament

2012 US Flames Of War Masters Tournament The 2011-2012 North American Tournament Circuit has come to a close with the completion of the US Mid-war Nationals at Historicon. Rankings HQ and Battlefront Miniatures have reviewed the rosters and we are proud to announce the eighteen players who will be invited to attend the 2012 Masters in Philadelphia. Five of these players won their places by being awarded the Overall Champion or Best General prizes at one of our three Nationals. The remaining players earned their spot by their Rankings HQ overall points. For those of you unfamiliar with the process, the United States and Canada run regional qualifier events throughout the season. The qualifier awards players with a qualifying place to participate in any of the national tournaments during the tournament circuit season. Once the regional qualifier is complete the event organiser must submit the roster to Rankings HQ to record the points for each player.  This process is what creates a players ranking and allows us to select the individuals for the Masters.

Here is pool of players we will draw from in order to fill the eighteen spots for the Masters. If an invited player cannot attend for any reason we will invite the next player on the Rankings list until we either have a full player list or we have exhausted our pool of players. Over the coming months we will be posting interviews and we hope to provide live coverage from the event similar to our forum posts from last year. Each round we posted the results so we hope to play off that success and build in better coverage. Check the action from the 2011 US Masters here... Please congratulate the players and give them a pat on the back when you see them at your next event.
