Ordo Fanaticus, the Pacific Northwest's premier gaming club, in association with the Portland/Vancouver 9th Age community is pleased to bring you the Columbia Clash, a two day T9A tournament during 2023 OFCC weekend (August 5th and 6th).
Here are the event details (this post will be amended as more information becomes available).

Event Organizer: TheBeninator (Ben Beal)
 
Number of Players (min/max): 12-30

Event Style: Singles - Swiss pairings

# of Rounds: 5 (3 Sat/ 2 Sun)

Duration of Rounds: 3 hours

Ticket Price: $50 ($5 discount for OF Reavers, Warlords, Emperors, and Imperators)

Missions and Scenarios: Scenarios will be familiar to all players of T9A, but there will be small twists. Players will be challenged to think differently about how they play scenarios with new special rules at play. Accordingly, at least 2 scenarios will be focused on alterations to the deployment phase (blind deployment shall return!). At least 2 scenarios will have their secondary objectives altered in a way where either the objectives move, or the conditions to capture them are changed. The last game will just be a good old standard fight.

Point Value: 4500 (standard size)

Scoring: 4 different awards -
    Best Sport (based on rankings and integrity points - see below)
    Favorite Army (based on painting, theme, conversions, fluff)
    Best General (based completely on match results)
    Best Team (Averaged scores by team for the 3 above plus extra points for team showmanship - see below)

Achievements and Awards:
    Tertiary objectives will be making a return, but with slightly different mechanics. 
    Integrity points- Every player will have the opportunity to award an opponent for an in-game action that is viewed as being highly respectable. Perhaps reminding a player of an essential rule, allowing a player to “take back” a move, etc. The idea is that if a player does something that makes the game more enjoyable for you, then you have a chance to give them a special shout out for that. You get 2 integrity tokens to give out which are worth less than your favorite opponent but go towards best sportsmanship. This helps to build a better ranking spread.

Extra event style: Optional two person teams – Two players can form a "team" in order to be contenders for the “Best team” award. The idea here is to encourage players to engage in a bit of extra style and panache during the event. This will hopefully bring some of the flavor of “club” showmanship back to OFCC, continuing the tradition of previous events.  
Team Bonus:
    Bring a banner with your team’s colors/logo/whatever – 5pt

    Bring a war cry that can be heard when shout, minimum of 3 shouts! – 5pt

    Bring a sonnet (14 lines with a rhyming scheme) explaining the basis of your faction’s alliance – 5pt
