GuardCon 2016 Tourney report

GuardCon weekend was a superb gathering of gamers this year. Really great to see such numbers again and huge encouragement for future events up here in Auckland. Thank you to all of you who came and made it such a ball of a convention. Also great job and a pat on the back to the various T.O's who gave their time up to help our Local Club run the 7 systems that were on show. Notably Warhammer 40K & The 9th Age Fantasy Battle shone at GuardCon. The new venue was well suited for the games Convention.

With great numbers and fantastic support from our sponsors. We were able to make it all that more memorable for the contestants with some big prizes given out. Also some of the the bigger systems even had all or most of their field get prizes in their events. We stuck to our club policy of 'Everyone has the same chance of winning the Loot'. This meant that it didn't matter where you placed in the field there were still plenty of spot prizes to be won.

Support our tournament sponsors as they are supporting you by providing tournament support. Without them we wouldnt be able to put on such a extravagant show. Here's the Results for the various systems and a few of the pictures from the weekend. There's already heaps of photo's on facebook of the event but I'll also post a photo dump in a few days or so.
