I know everyone has been waiting patiently for the results to be posted, but I do want to take a minute and say a few things...
BIG THANKS goes out to my fellow Istvaanians for all their hard work leading up to and the day of. Without their help we would not have had such a great event. Thanks to all the participants that showed up with great attitudes and made our day that much more enjoyable. Also thanks to Chris with Grand Adventures for his support and to Matt Rogers with the Wright Agency for providing an awesome lunch! Also a big thanks to Black Library author Mike Lee for taking time out of his busy schedule to stop in and chat. I hope some of you guys took advantage and picked his brain a little.
I will be posting my thoughts on the event and hundreds of pictures over the next day or two. It will take me awhile to comb through the pictures and get them ready for the blog post. I really hope everyone enjoyed themselves and I am already looking forward to next year! So less reading and more results posting...

Battle for Stones River 2011 Wrap Up and Announcement!
From Bossman
First I would like to thank everyone that took part in the Battle for Stones River this year. I feel that it was the most successful tournament so far. We had a wonderful day of war gaming with 208 games of 40K played inside 10 hours with no major problems. We owe this to you, the players. There are a few others that are responsible for this being a great tournament, of course, Chris with Grand Adventures and my partners in terrain Danny, Josh and Keith. Thanks goes to Travis and Ken for being our rules judges. Also I wanted to thank Scott with the Hammercast and Black Library author Mike Lee for coming and spending their Saturday with us. Finally I would like to thank Matt Rogers and his boss Travis with All State Insurance for providing our lunch for the day.
So the whole reason behind the tournament is to provide a high quality large scale tournament for our local community. Out of simple enjoyment do I continue to run the tournaments and attempt every year to build upon what we did the previous year. So in an endeavor to make thing grow I am happy to announce that the Battle for Stones River 2012 will be part of the Games Workshop North American Independent Grand Tournament Circuit. What does this mean? Well it means that the top two overall players will receive a ticket to the Throne of Skulls tournament which will be in Memphis,TN. in October 2012. Games Workshop will be advertising this tournament via a wide variety of means, so we are going to attempt to find a suitable location that we can expand our tournament to more than 50 people. The core of the tournament will remain the same, the same scoring system, theme and so on.
In closing, this next year is going to be huge. I am always looking for ways to improve, so any constructive feedback or ideas are appreciated. Keep an eye out on the forums for further information about next year’s event. Thanks again to all that participated and congratulations to our winners for this year: Kevin Drury (Overall Champion), Rex Cullor (Best General), Shannon Dickens (Best Sportsman) and Keith Hoffman (Best Painted). I hope everyone has a great year and we see you back for another great event!
