We need everyone to come out so that Ricky Elvis Jones can have the full tournament referee experience. You don't want to miss this.

I will try to miss breakfast, coffee and sleep then, so I can be as petulant, whiny and obdurate as I was for Lee Cleveland.
Is this like "ref bootcamp" os something?
This looks like an interesting event by the way. I wish I had an Indian army.

4. Only the “Average Joes” may participate, i.e. No Superior, Elite or Poor troops will be allowed.
So... does this:
1) completely exclude every list with some required minima of Superior troops, or
2) will that line simply be ignored for purposes of this tournament, with troops drawn from "Average Joes" only, or
3) are mandatory minima of Superior troops downgraded (and if so are the points recovered in the downgrade)?
I sort of incline to (1), as it would sure shake up the normal lineup.

Looks like a competition made for Dominate Roman.

Limit of 18 BGs, so the swarm is not quite so swarmy. I have several armies in mind, depending on the answer to my question.
I don't know of anyone in the general area who has a Dominate army. There must be a couple lurking around though.

According to Ricky, you must find a list that does not require Superiors and build your army from one of those. So 1) is the answer.

Why do we only get umpires called 'Hammy' and 'Nik'?

Because they don't look like Elvis is my guess.
