Could you make your text a little more readable ?

Done. Thanks for pointing that out; my formatting sometimes doesn't translate depending on the site

Adepticon went full 9th Age in their Fantasy Tournaments. Initially they had no 9th Age events, then they made the Big Brawl a 9th Age event immediately before signups began, then they added several other 9th Age events (added singles tournament, doubles tournament, & warbands--not real warbands rules just a smaller battle).
I decided not to attend Adepticon (or apparently any major Warhammer tournament in 2016) for the first time in 7 years due to their elimination of 7th/8th Ed. events. I'm the oddball not on the 9th Age bandwagon (mostly because of lore changes and status of the rules). I'm not saying it's not an excellent game; I just think the game is too early in development for so many tournaments to already be using the rules. A year from now it may be excellent for tournaments, but I think the current ruleset should be considered for friendlies only.

If anyone knows of any 8th Ed. tournaments (ET inclusive or not) in the central United States in 2016, I'd appreciate the heads up.

Remember GW never balanced 8th edition or gave a flip about tournament play. I think you'll find 9th beta a less cheesy and more balanced game than 8th ever was. There is an entire contigent of 9th Age volunteers dedicated to data collection and balancing. As for the lore, I empathize there: 30 years flushed down the toilet, but people are working on it. Have you seen the new Undying Dynasties book? Very high production values and a great read.

- Clash of the titans 20/21 of February in Sydney

@hardyworld actually we (T9A staff) need to work hard to the NA on the bandwagon. KoW is gaining quite a lot of traction on the tournament side of things in NA so starting a year from now would be hopeless.

Getting Adepticon will be huge and we're already discussing how to utilize the opportunity the best.

I hope you'll consider T9A in the future
