custombike@woosh.co.nzHOW THE TOURNAMENT WILL WORK
Entry Fee is $5 and Three Cans of food. No late entry penalty, pay on the day is fine. Just let me know if you plan on playing as soon as possible so I have an idea of numbers. (You can turn up, enter, pay and play on the day as long as there is room, tables and opponents to play) but please let me know in advance if you can.
At Can-Opener 2010 you will play 4 missions over the course of one day of gaming. Each game will be against a different opponent. Games will be played on a 4’ x 4’ table with an appropriate amount of terrain.
You will need to bring:
At least 3 cans of food
Your Army
Your army list
Your relevant army Codex
A tape measure
Dice and templates as appropriate
A pen or pencil
THE AIM OF CAN-OPENER 2010
This tournament has been devised so that a group of like-minded gamers can meet in a competitive but friendly environment and play some interesting games of 40k. The primary goal of the tournament however, is to raise funds and canned food for the Auckland City Mission winter appeal. Each player MUST bring at least 3 cans of food. The Cityguard will donate this to the Auckland City Mission on your behalf at the conclusion of the event. However, the cans also have an in-game effect! Each can allows you to reroll a single dice once (but not a dice that has already been re-rolled). Once you have used your can you must surrender it to the TO. This may be a D6 reroll or a scatter dice reroll. Any dice can be rerolled (this means by way of examples: leadership checks – pass or fail (both dice); sweeping advance; psychic tests (both dice); reserve rolls; to hit and to wound rolls; scatter (all three dice); ordnance and vehicle penetration rolls; damage rolls vs vehicles) ALL ROLLS! But remember you can’t re-roll a re-roll. You may bring as many cans as you wish to the event but you must bring a minimum of three. At the conclusion of the tournament any unused cans can be relinquished to the TO. Cans used in games do count towards your 3 can minimum.
The primary gaming purpose is to have fun and help someone less fortunate! This is not a serious tournament event and should not be entered into as such (winning is winning so bragging rights do apply). The missions have been created and used with fun, wackiness and ease of play in mind.
Play to win, but play nice and with good humour.

This tournament has a weighting of 80% battle points and 20% sportsmanship. In each game you will have the opportunity to get up to 15 battle points 5 Bonus Points and 5 sportsmanship points.
