BBH and I will be holding an OverPower tournament in June or August. We will confirm the month when we get a better estimate of number of people attending. We are expecting about 20-25 people for this tournament.
Prizes: they are very tentative at this point and are subject to having 20+ people attending. Prizes might be Beyonder, A-Next, Batman: Avenger, Assault on Onslaught missions among others. We will have prizes for up to the top 6 or 8 finishers.
Official rules, no idea what we'll allow for proxies, likely Swiss tournament pairing. Top 8 advances into elimination.
Again, nothing is set in stone, all will likely change as the date approaches.
Please consider attending this tournament even if you have to fly/drive to get to Toronto.
Count me in for the tournament Jack. Quite possibly my brother as well. Let me know if you or Sean need any assistance.

I personally would like to aim for June, but if August yields more players then so be it!
Hopefully some out-of-towners can make it out to pad our numbers. If so we can definitely pump up the prizes. I have holo heroes, Assault on Onslaught stuff and a Beyonder I can offer up if we get the numbers to justify it.
I don't know what else Jack has, but I figure between us we have some nice incentives.

seriously! everytime I read about these giant tournaments I get so excited! I just can't imagine spending the time and money to get out there :(
I am looking at some changes this Summer, including a move back home to WA, making me slightly closer... I wonder if I could manage to pull my brothers into something about this... Then again, I keep feeling like I have to save every bit of money I can between now and the move :'(

Well, not exactly GIANT tournaments - though if you and your crew made a road trip it would certainly increase the numbers. ;)
Seriously, we'd love to have you out here, but don't break the bank just trying to come out and play some cards with us. On the other hand, if you are planning a vacation and decide a trip out here is a viable option, let us know and we can try to arrange the date around your visit.
In the meantime, come online and play a few rounds of OPO! :D

duly noted ;)
We're likely looking at a June tournament at a location to be determined. It'll happen on a Saturday for sure but we haven't determined a date yet. An August tournament might be ruled out because I'll have exams up till the 11th and probably a family matter to attend to at some weekend in August (this goes for bamf! as well).
Anyone who travels a significant distance (say > 250KM or so) will NOT go home empty handed: in addition to the registration gift, you will receive an OverPower t-shirt courtesy of me! There will also be an random opportunity to win a t-shirt as well so you could possibly go home with a registration gift, 2 T-shirts and an awesome prize!
The other part of the registration gift is to be determined but I will include a colour print out of Avenger's ID AND the AP Teamwork that will be legal to use in our meetups and tournaments!
Prize list will be slightly modified, but instead of A-Next, there will be a 5 Multipower Power card (assuming we have enough participants).
Where is this happening?
In Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Less than one week away! Judging from preliminary numbers, it looks like it's going to be a tournament (swiss-style).

EDIT
Additional prizes will be 2 OverPower t-shirts. One will be raffled off as part of the entry, the second will be won as a prize (either 1st or 2nd place, I haven't decided).
