Best Club (Trophy & Prize) -
CNC Workshop will be supplying a
great terrain prize to the best club at Arcanacon.
To find the best club,
we will take the average score of the three highest-ranked
members from each club. The club that scores the highest average
will be judged Best Club at Arcanacon! To be eligible, your club
must be a public body that meets in a specified location on a
regular basis and welcomes new members, and at least three
members must enter. Ringwood and GROTS are examples of clubs.
Let us know which (if any) club you
are representing.
Note, there is no Best Team prize
this year. Instead, we have a new prize: Best Race!
++
ARMY CHALLENGE ++
Best Race (GW Voucher) - We've heard a lot from the Ork
players over the years that they will win Arcanacon; let's see
them prove it! All players will automatically compete as
representatives of their army type - thus, Marines vs. Orks vs.
Chaos etc. Scoring will be as above, with the prize will be
awarded randomly to one of the players on the winning side who
has not otherwise won a prize.

BEST TERRAIN ++
Best Terrain (Trophy &
GW Voucher) -
Awarded to the player or club who supplies the best table of terrain,

mention our thanks!

Arcanacon is a volunteer effort, and we particularly
appreciate players who help us out with the event. If we
ever see you pitching in to help carry a table or otherwise
make yourself useful, we'll give you a Helpful Mofo raffle
ticket. The winner will get a prize.

DECAPITATED TEDDY BEAR ++
