Invitational Results - Round 1

The first round of the NOVA Invitational happened last night, with 32 of the nation's best players tee'ing off against each other from 6PM - 8PM. The total event is 5 rounds, with $1,000 in cash to the 5-0 finisher, and $1,000 in cash to the highest combined score of competitive rating + appearance score (50% value each).

All but a couple of games were hair trigger wins/losses.
Most of the Necron armies are pretty diverse, ranging from Fennell's scarabs, spyders, etc., to Lovett's model spam, to Gilstrap's flyer spam .... that said there are a lot of Necron armies :)
