Pre-registration: Email rllesh@yahoo.com.

You must provide the following information: Full Name, Army, City, State, Phone #, Email, and Club Name.

The club name is an identifier that the organizer will use so that during Day 1 you will not be paired against someone from your gaming group. On Day 2, the scoring is purely based upon the battle scores.

Army Lists: You will need to bring 7 copies of your army list. 1 for each of your opponents, 1 for yourself, and 1 for the Tournament Organizer. The TO will randomly select a copy of your list to spot check for legality and that the army you are fielding is what is listed.

Miniatures: non-GW miniatures are allowed. Where at all possible all models in the army should be WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get. This means that if you have paid for an upgrade on a model, then the model should display that upgrade, and vice versa.

We do not require painted armies at the Hoosier Challenge; however, painted armies are an integral part of the hobby. If possible, please try and bring a painted army in favor of an unpainted army in order to increase the enjoyment of the game for everyone attending. Players with unpainted armies are not eligible for any prizes.

Terrain: pre-set.

All current codexes for Warhammer 40K 5th edition will be allowed.

If you have any question if an army is allowed please contact the event organizer.

Sounds like pretty interesting tourney. Unfortunately, it's too close to Adepticon for me to attend.
