I'm glad you asked, as I was planning on putting something up about this tonight.
The nationals will be held at DraGGon, the first Good Games Convention, being held at Bankstown Sports Club on the weekend of 24-25 August
The sealed Nationals will be held Saturday 24 August, and cost $40, or free for regional qualifiers. It will be 300pts, but the exact format hasn't been finalised (ie draft or straight sealed)
The constructed Nationals will be on Sunday 25 August, and the format will be 400pts Modern Age, Only Single and Peanut based characters. It will cost $20, or be free to people who have won a regional.
As this is a 400pt Battle, as per official rules, this is considered an Epic Battle.
Modern Age Horde and Bystander tokens can be used in this event, ie the ones from the Blitzkreig USA scenario pack.
We will be playing under the new rules, using the Modern Format at the time (ie from Superman onwards will be legal)
Legal Sets are as follows:
Superman
Superman Fast Forces
Incredible Hulk
Incredible Hulk Fast Forces
Infinity Gauntlet
Galactic Guardians
Galactic Guardians Fast Forces
Avengers Movie
Avengers Movie Starter
War of Light Fast Forces
Giant Size X-Men Fast Forces
Sark Knight Rises
Chaos War

Justice League 52

Marvel 10th Anniversary
DC 10th Anniversary
Tabapp Figures
Batman

Streets of Gotham
Streets of Gotham Fast FOrces
Amazing Spiderman
Batman: Gotham City Strategy Game
Tabapp Elite figures
Iron Man 3
No Man's Land
Teen Titans
Teen Titans Fast Forces
Man of Steel
Fear Itself - Month 1 and 2 and first scenarion kit only - ie any figures from the FI set, but only prize support from the first two months.
Wolverine and the X-Men Gravity Feed only
Any Counter Top Display or Gravity Feed figures from the above sets
Allowed Resources:
Infinity Gauntlet (Full)
Utility Belt (Full)
Batcave
The Penguin
The Book of the Skull - Kuurth's Hammer, Mokk's Hammer and Skadi's Hammer only
Allowed Maps:
As this is a modern age tournament only maps from the allowed sets can be used. Good Games will be bring a collection of maps for the games but do not have all of the above maps available. If there is a map that you know that you will want to play on then please bring your own copy to ensure that you have that option.
We will be using the official Wizkids tournament rules, meaning that when time is called that the current action finishes (if one has been called) and the game is over.
I'm stressing this point because I know that Good Games Burwood and also some of the Victoria gamers run using last turns after time is called.
Both days will have registration from 12pm to 12:45, with games kicking off from 1pm.
Any further questions? Ask in here, or PM me or M.O.D.O.C. and we'll try to help you out.
I expect this will be updated as we need to clarify things further
Judges need to ensure that the regionals winners have been reported to Good Games Organised Play to ensure that they are registered correctly for the tournaments
Cheers,
please clarify this for me, where does it say on here "no con exclusives allowed" please i came up expecting to use bat-mite but was told that i wasnt allowed to use it, because it was mentioned in the forums. can one of you guys show me the thread where this was mentioned please? as con exclusives are modern. "We will be playing under the new rules, using the Modern Format at the time (ie from Superman onwards will be legal)

"Convention Exclusives" (as a set which includes Dr. Fate, Martian Manhunter, Batmite, etc.) would have been included in the list otherwise.
I (among others) was aware convention exclusives were disallowed. I would have played my con LE Dr. Fate otherwise.

Any stock that is available through Good Games stores 2 weeks or more before the date of the constructed event (ie in store by Sunday 11th August) is valid for use in the Constructed event on Sunday the 25th of August.
The Convention Exclusives were never available through Good Games stores and so were not valid.

of course they are not available at goodgame stores, and convention exclusives dont come under those guidelines, con exclusive have been available to the public online for quite awhile and can won at conventions, they are considered modern therefore they are legal, half of my figures i own were not not available through goodgames stores, some of our heroclix at our store are currently unavailable your store, dopes this mean we cant use use it tournament modern play? even though it has been out for a good month or 2??
Before I rip briscoe a new one let me take this opportunity to thank all the Good Games staff, MODOK, Thanosied and a special thank you to Eliza - if it were not for their own time and effort they sacrificed we would not have such a great event to continue to talk about 3 days after it was done.
Also thank you to our friends from interstate and overseas that we have not met before - It was great meeting you all for the first time and hope to see you all again for the next major event
As for briscoe - This was a Good Games run AND FUNDED event. The whole idea was to use figures that could have been purchased at a Good Games store. How does using a Batmite that you did not purchase from a Good Games store help their bottom line? So you're not AU national champ this year because you couldnt use a figure that you did not buy from Good Games?- Tough. Live with it. Rather than complaining you should be greatful that they gave you prizes that will end up being the same value of your trip to Sydney rather than selling them to you.
You should also be greatful that you got off from buying us chicken burgers for another year.

Of course they come under those guidelines, as those were the guidelines for this tournament.

Not for this tournament they weren't, as per post 59 and the set list in post 2.

And the ones that were unavailable through a Good Games store weren't eligible to be used in this tournament. Nor did anyone do so in this tournament.

From post 59: "Any stock that is available through Good Games stores 2 weeks or more before the date of the constructed event"
Was it available at a Good Games more than two weeks before the tournament? Yes? Then it's valid. Show me where I said it had to be currently stocked in a Good Games store.

No, my post is perfectly in context as I stated "Any stock that is available through Good Games stores 2 weeks or more before the date of the constructed event".
I did not state "Any Wolverine and the X-men stock that is available through Good Games stores 2 weeks or more before the date of the constructed event"
I am unsure what point you are trying to make with these messages, but you are coming across as having sour grapes because you didn't win the tournament.
Everybody else understood that Convention pieces were not able to be used in this tournament except you.
I'm not going to waste any more time responding to your messages on this subject.
Also I apologise to everybody else in this thread for having to sit through me explaining this point continuously.
Cheers,

Reason: Added an apology to the other viewers of this thread.

I'm sorry but I feel the need to comment on this as the Judge at briscoe's regular store.
Yes, briscoe buys figures from overseas, but he also spends a LOT of his dollars in store. It is not his fault that some figures are not available in Australia- it is Wizkids and Ikon's fault for not supporting the game well outside of the US of A.
I'm a little upset by the miscommunication that led to him having to change his team on the day. He had tried to clarify it beforehand in this very thread but was not specifically answered- nowhere did anyone say that convention exclusives would not be allowed despite being modern age legal. The train of logic was there that could lead to that conclusion, but it was not stated explicitly.
Anyway, not wanting to bring the mood down, but I can't really abide you 'ripping briscoe a new one' and telling him to be grateful for being given any prizes at all, over what was an understandable misunderstanding. A little over the top don't you think?
