We had a great time playing FoG at Cold Wars this past weekend. On Friday there was a Mini event, that I broke into early and late periods (in 15mm, anyway; 25mm played a round robin). On Saturday we played doubles.

37 or so different players total a healthy turnout and good fun all around.

What were the points and number of rounds for each event?

Check the tournament sub folder for these details

3 rounds.
Friday 650
Saturday 1000 doubles

That's impressive turnout.

Hopefully we can run a doubles tournament soon.

It is a more social event. The major success for me at COld Wars was finding the many new players. What I would suggest is for doubles to pair an expereienced player with a newer player and making them a more training event.

The other interesting thing is 1000 points allow you to have MOST toys in a lot of lists. Also the boards are still not crowded.

Adding new players is the most important aspect of growing FoG.

I would like to run a doubles tournament after everyone has recovered from the IWF.
