Just wanted to add one pit fall I've seen happen locally. Anyone that is in an official positions of point taking, making rulings, warding prize support etc. should /not/ participate in the event. Having your game drag on because your opponent keeps having to answer questions, or having an organizer end up winning prizes just doesn't sit right. So while it may be tempting to fill in that last spot so you don't have an odd number players and have to deal with a bye I've not found it to be worth the potential trouble later in the day.

Just what this community needs, leaders to take charge and set things up. Well done Benji !

Watched this twice now , just got back in to middle earth strategy games after 6 yr break and started to build the battle of pelennor field starter box, would love to join a event like this and meet like mind people who enjoy the hobby.

Excellent content. Thank you. As a new player to Warhammer these kinds of vids are more valuable than you can know.

Who’s up for coming to the next ‘Battle for Mirfield’?! Keep an eye on the Benji’s Hobbies Community Hangout Facebook group for updates on future events: facebook.com/groups/349985010295669/?ref=share

Great video man. Kinda sad I missed out on the day but feels good to see the Rohan houses being used on the table with dice being rolled and people having a good time! Keep putting those tournaments on, I WILL attend, some day ;)

Looks really fun! Well done!

What a great and interesting video. 2:10 That Elf Army looks very nice.

Hey, man! Another great video! Also, thank you for bringing more attention to Middle Earth SBG. It only gets a fraction of the attention compared to other GW games, yet its such a great game with fantastic minis. You the man!

What a great thing. Looks like fun was had, by all. Fabulous

Based on the title, I expected the answer to be, "Table Flipping".

Love it. Great effort

What a loveley video on a rather rare topic on youtube - at least in my bubble. 07:37 it looks like Jamie is not only blessed in the Patreon department 😀 😉

Cool vid. I've never been to a tournament but hopefully I'll change that soon. Looks like it was fun man. 🤟

Golly, I cannot imagine running a tournament. Too much anxiety for me. But kudos to those who take on this kind of project! 😎

Just got into the channel from Luke, liking the stuff

Thank you , Benji . 🐺

Awesome video dude, I would love to go to a tournament one day. Need a few games under my belt first lol

great video - do you play warhammer fantasy at all?

Use auto save, or use the auto backup feature, even after a computer reset excel can usually still restore the info. Give it a Google though. Will save you in those clutch moments

Do you have a link to the top 3 lists? I couldn't find them.

Cool video.

I've been messing with 40k for the last year or so lol tho I was into it before hand because games etc, and I'm fairly slow at painting. Love getting the models ready and painted, messing with lists etc but I've still not played a game because no friends or game shops near me, so I'm just like :( wouldn't mind playing a Lil killteam or patrol size matches (or a Lil bigger) but I ain't got no one to play with 😤 I wouldn't mind using table top sim either since I have it set up, but those sweet souls out there who want to play and learn with ppl, hit me up because I could use some game time :(

Really intresting video, I still love MESBG and this looked like a fantastic game. Kind of wish the video title didn't have the "Warhammer " in it, I know its for clicks but I find it very cheesy and offputting when the content speaks for its self. That said keep up the great videos (titles aside :D)

Re: Technology doing what technology does best as I have been there done that :) A good notepad and pen are invaluable! Other tips from the life of a former tournament admin - A whiteboard/flipchart with the games on it also helps with at-a-glance tournament standings and is a useful player aid. Especially if you put the round start times/table numbers up on the board. If it's a knockout tournament for speed, the upper winner stays on the table they won on. Saves moving armies around too much and helps that change-over time between rounds. Although this only really helps when you have fewer games than tables, and you have non-narrative maps without specific terrain features.

I don’t think I’ll ever do a tourney again. Super toxic environment. Glad to see anyone trying to change that.

Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁❤️👍🏼

Video is fantastic and content great! Very informative. The title is a bit click-baity though.

Yes I will

I want that wooden spoon.

I don't do games workshop games tournaments or tournaments in general. Just not my thing. I don't like competition play.

This has to be a CGI vid, you keep showing a room full of the same guy in slightly different clothes. Maybe a clone experiment. Good work though, tournaments can be a pain to organise at the best of times, even without pandemics. Or clones.

how to run a warhammer tournament!

Dont eat your opponents models.

imagine things have gotten so bad that you literally need to be told not to do these stupid things and people that this is a a sci fi hobby game shame things have changed what happened to " Why you heff to be mad, it only game"

So............ what don't you do at a Warhammer tournament?

Yooooooo

Message from sponsor....skip 80s 😁 and i think Jamie was a bit too excited 😆😆

Good video but clickbait title is annoying. Video was tips about how to run a tournament. Had nothing to do with “What NOT to do at a tournament”…

came here the first time...and last time. too much invideo advertisment...
