Next Week, Thursday the 22nd of February - Passing the Torch!
300 point constructed tournament
Every force must include at least two characters who are considered mentor and student, or parent and child.
For example, Batman and Robin is perfectly good, as is Wolverine and Jubilee (or Shadowcat, or Storm...). Superman and Batman doesn't count, because they are partners rather than sidekick-and-mentor. Father-son clix are fine (such as Cyclops and Cable).

No battlefield condition cards
Any questions? Please ask!
EDIT: The winning force was an all-DC villains team-up featuring Deathstroke and Ravager. The KC Flash/Kid Flash/Jesse Quick force was also a bit scary!

Next Week, Thursday the 8th of March - Accurate Team Line-Ups!
500 point constructed tournament.
Your force should be constructed to match a recognised team line up from a comic series. X-Men Blue, X-Men Gold, the Grant Morrison JLA, the original Outsiders, and so on. One-off team ups and "guests stars" don't count.
Note that it isn't essential for all the characters you use to actually share the same TA, especially if some characters don't have a TA (for example, the Hellfire Club). Try to use the most representative version of a character you have (rookie Batman from Legacy for an Outsiders team) but if you want to use Flash (no TA) on a JLA team then that's perfectly acceptable.

EDIT: And the winner was Matt with the Hellfire Club! He successfully dealt with the Fantastic Four with their old pal the Sentry, and decimated Grant Morrison's JLA.

Next Week, Thursday the 15th of March - Infinity Crisis!
Superboy is punching the walls of reality! Scarlet Witch has said "No more Outwit against adjacent team-mates!" Hellboy is fighting evil frogs from beyond time and space! Or something like that!
400 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
Bring six different battlefield condition cards. At the beginning of each turn, one BFC will be randomly selected; it is considered in play until the beginning of the next turn (i.e., the first BFC is in effect for both player's first turns, the second is in effect for both players' turn 2, and so on).
Any BFC that requires you to make decisions "at the beginning of the game" (such as Alpha Strike) happen at the beginning of the first player's turn (when they come into play), and last until the end of the second player's turn.
Each BFC is removed from the game once it has been played. In a full twelve-turn game, all twelve BFCs will be played.
Any questions? Please ask!
EDIT 1: I've clarified a couple of points with the judge; the above information should be correct and complete.
EDIT 2:: And the winner was Laura, with Matt coming in second! I don't know what she played, as I didn't face her.

EDIT 1: Tin Soldier has Origin in stock! So this Thursday will be a sealed game; $35 gets you three boosters. Be at the store at 6 sharp so that you have enough time to build the best possible force!
EDIT 2: The winner of the sealed was Andrew (M.O.D.O.C.), fielding a force consisting of experienced Mirror Master, rookie Monel, rookie Wildcat, and veteran Wildcat. Congratulations!
Next Week, Thursday the 22nd of March...
If the Tin Soldier has Origin in stock by next week then we'll be having a sealed tournament of some type (three boosters). Otherwise, we'll be playing the following as a back-up:
500 point constructed tournament.

No battlefield conditions.
All of your characters must share one power on their first click. All Phasing/Teleport, all Barrier, whatever.
Any questions? Please ask!

Next Week, Thursday the 29th of March: Shifting Battlefields!
300 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
Assign two battlefield conditions to your force. At the beginning of each game, your opponent chooses which of your battlefield conditions will be in play for that game. It goes into play as though the owner had played it. The unselected battlefield condition has no effect.
Battlefield conditions are chosen secretly by both players, and revealed simultaneously. Neither player has the advantage of seeing which BFC his or her opponent chose.
Any questions? Please ask!
Choosing BFCs that nerf particular teams probably won't work as well as usual, because if your opponent's ninja squad is hindered by Bright Lights he can just pick the other one. I think it would be more effective to choose two BFCs that improve your own force, or have a crazy effect on both sides of the combat.
Battlefield conditions are considered unique by name rather than by set, so you can't bring two Ordinary Day or Poor Teamwork cards from different sets.
EDIT: The winner was Matt (Sgt. Grimes) with a force featuring veteran HIVE Trooper, rookie Huntress, experienced Mantis (Thunderbolts), rookie Marvel Boy, veteran Saturn Girl (with Compel - ouch!), Zombie Spider-Man, and Zombie Wolverine!
Compel is a truly nasty feat. Well worth the 15 points it costs.

Next Week, Thursday the 5th of April: Share the Power!
400 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
No battlefield condition cards.
All of your characters must share the same power on their first click. All Phasing/Teleport, all Stealth, all Invulnerability, whatever you like - as long as each character has it on their first click.
Any questions? Please ask!
EDIT: I won this week using an all-Defend force (Dr. Mid-Nite, Invisible Girl, Man of Steel, Shadowcat, and Shadow LAss). MODOC also performed very well with an all-Poison force (I didn't see all of the figures, but I believe it included Cheshire, Firestorm, Ghost Widow, and Joker), and Kane had an all-Phasing/Teleport force of two veteran Atoms, Mister Miracle, and Superman Blue that trounced the first round but met with some difficulty in the second.

Next Week, Thursday the 12th of April: Share the Power, Reversed!
400 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
No battlefield condition cards.
All of your characters must share the same power on their last click. This is very similar to last week's tournament, except that this time each character must have a common power at the end of their dial. Characters with no powers on their final click are obviously unusable.
Any questions? Please ask!
Off the top of my head, good options would include Leap/Climb, Outwit (lots of dials have a final click of that), Pulse Wave (ditto), Regeneration, Stealth, and Toughness.
Edit: Three Regeneration teams and one Leap/Climb... M.O.D.O.C. came in first with two close games, and Sgt. Grimes second.

Next Week, Thursday the 19th of April: Ladies' Night!
300 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
No battlefield condition cards.
All of your characters must be female. It should be pretty obvious which characters are allowed!
Any questions?
Edit: The winner was M.O.D.O.C. yet again, with a force that featured Spiral, Sue Storm, and some other characters that I didn't actually see because I didn't face him. Second was Dion with Blackfire, Cheetah, Jean Grey, Karma (with Compel), Morlock Leader, a Paramedic, and Storm. I think I came in about third (I would have been just behind Dion on points) but we stopped counting at that point.

Next Week, Thursday the 26th of April: From Beyond the Stars!
400 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
No battlefield condition cards.
All of your characters must have an otherworldly origin - born on an alien planet, descended to Earth from Asgard, constructed entirely from alien technology, one of the New Gods of Apokalips, etc. Alien or otherdimensional characters (as long as the alternate dimension is not inherently tied to the Earth).
Any questions?
Edit: And the winner was Than0seid, who fielded a force of V nebula (with Trick Shot), Ch'p, E Mano, E Blackfire, two E Badoon Guards, two R Skrull Infiltrators, and an L-Ron bystander.

Next Week, Thursday the 10th of May: Alphabet Soup!
400 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
No battlefield condition cards.
All of your characters must have a name starting with the same letter. This means the name printed on the dial (in case of any confusion).
Any questions?
For example, your force might consist of unique The Man of Steel, unique Terrax, and a Ted Knight bystander token. Feats don't have to start with the common letter, so Protected would be okay (but Taunt would be better. ).
Next Week, Thursday the 17th of May: Sending Him Home!
300 point constructed tournament.
Retirement is not in effect.
No battlefield condition cards.
All of your characters except one must share the same team symbol.
That character is the "guest" from a parallel universe. The guest must be from a different universe to the rest of your force (Marvel, DC, or IndyClix); and cannot have Leap/Climb, Phasing/Teleport, or Hypersonic Speed.
At the beginning of the game, place a Special token on a square of non-blocking terrain within four squares of your starting area. This is your opponent's portal. If a guest character spends one entire turn on his portal, it is removed from the map. It scores victory points for surviving, plus an additional 100 victory points.
Any questions?
Some clarifications from the judge:
It is legal for other characters to occupy the same square as a portal. That means that you can put one of your own characters on your opponent's portal, and as long as your opponent doesn't KO the character his "guest" can't leave.
You may place your opponent's portal inside your own starting area if you wish.
The "guest" character cannot use a wildcard TA or Thunderbolts to copy Serpent Society, as this team ability duplicates Phasing/Teleport. It is not supposed to be that easy to move onto the portal.
Edit: Than0seid came in first with a resounding 1000+ point total for the night; I didn't see his force so I'm afraid that I can't tell you how he did it! I scored second (one wafer-thin victory over Sgt. Grimes followed by a very solid win) using a force consisting of LE Clark Kent, E Superman-Robot, and E Lobster Johnson as my "visitor".

you guys are correct, batman sentry isn't a giant and however he is a rather large figure doesn't eman that he plays the "giant" role. people like giant man are giants because they can grow to mass sizes in the comics that they take place in. in the gothom city comics the bat sentry is a generic robot the size of block buster, block buster can also be found as a regular figure in legacy too i believe
