Brothers Grim Games and Collectibles

We're having our first ever Brother's Grim Official ITS tournament. Winner gets an Official Infinity Trophy!!! There will be other prizes as well as a game of TAG platoon after the tournament. If someone could sticky this, that would be awesome!!!

Location: Brother's Grim Games
1244 Middle Country Road
Selden, NY 11784
URL: http://www.brgrim.com/forums (the Brother's Grim forums are back up!!!)
Phone: 631-698-2805
Entry Fee: $10
Date: 1/8/2012
Time: 10:00AM until we're done, probably around 8pm.
Rounds: Probably three.
Points: 300pts.
Lists: Maximum of 2 within the same faction.

Each player is allowed to bring two lists and may decide which list to use when they get their missions. Missions will be secret as will lists.

Each player should bring two copies of each list, one will be submitted to the Tournament Organizer.

Here are the rules for TAG platoon:

Everyone gets 1 TAG or 100 points to spend on up to four models with no AVA, no Lt requirement, and SWC 2. If you own a TAG you will be strongly urged to take the TAG instead of taking the grunts. No hackers and no ADHL's will be allowed (the idea is to have a shooting game between TAGs, not some sneaky git disabling all of them). There will also be no linked teams allowed.

Each player controls their TAG and gets three orders. The players will be on two teams, but will activate one at a time, switching between teams. People who don't have a TAG will get one order per model.

Each player gets one VP for every structure point/wound he causes. You also get one VP for getting your TAG (or a grunt for 1 VP, additional grunts score nothing) into the enemy team's deployment zone. You get an additional VP for being alive in your enemy's deployment zone at the end of the game.

The game ends when one side has no TAGs or surrenders.

There will be a prize of at least an Infinity blister for the winner and other prizes for acts of daring committed during the TAG Platoon match.

I may only be speaking for myself here, but personally I get frustrated (as a newbie) when acronyms are not defined the first time they are used. I realize that probably everybody reading this forum except me probably knows what they all mean, but in this case I really don't know what TAG means. I am lazy and may not bother to research it, and then go away feeling unworthy One solution to this kind of thing might be to have a definitions page so whenever an acronym is used the poster might be able to link to the def using BBcode or something. I've seen this done automatically on forums (the forum software auto-links a word to a definition).

Out of curiosity, do you mean that we get 300 points + a TAG/100pts of grunts, or that our 300 point lists should contain a TAG?

A TAG is basically a large powered armor suit in the game of Infinity.

I guess this wasn't terribly clear, but TAG platoon is going to be a separate fun event after the actual tournament. Everyone basically gets one TAG or some troops if they don't own a TAG. The regular tournament will be three games with normal 300 point lists.
