The GLADBAG Invitational
Annual DBA Tournament of Champions held at Origins in
Columbus, OH
- Start time: Friday, June 27, 10 am
- Scale 15mm
- Format: Modified Swiss, 4-5 rounds
- Boards: 24"square
- GM: Mike Demana
- Sponsor: Splintered Light Miniatures
Winners of DBA Tournaments from across the country are invited to participate
in this "NICT-style" event to be held annually at Origins in Columbus,
OH. Splintered Light Miniatures has generously agreed to be the annual sponsor
and this year will be donating one of their 15mm Saxon DBA armies to the
winner -- possibly painted and based -- though he didn't want to commit
to that yet, based on his painting schedule. All participants will receive
one of their 15mm Beowulf and Grendel figures just for entering.
Personalized invitations have been sent out to qualified winners that
I am aware of. They are also listed below. If you see an asterik next to
your name or that of somebody you know, it means I do not have an e-mail
address to send out your invitation. Please feel free to contact me at mikedemana@earthlink.net,
though this is not necessary, as I will have this list at the tournament.
Also, if you know of a tournament or winner whose qualifiers are not listed
below, please contact me.
We'd love to have as many of the qualified participants come to Origins
as is possible. It promises to be great fun (with a great prize, to boot!).
A number of the folks listed below qualified by winning (or placing high
enough in larger events) numerous times. I have listed only one of their
events after their name. In addition, our qualification period runs from
Origins to Origins, which will generally mean from late June or early July
of the previous year to the same time, this year. If you have any questions,
feel free to contact me. Without further ado, here is the list of qualified
