Bay Area Open 2023 May 27-28th, 2022
If you’ve been itching to play in an event, well, then you want to go to this event! BAO 2023 will have all kinds of tournaments like 40k, AoS, Kill Team, and more. Things have been kicking into high gear lately, so don’t sit around and miss out, as the tickets are sure to sell out fast.
The event will take place May 27-28th, 2022, at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront (which has been changed from last year to have more space), so there’s still time if you need to book a room, but if you live near there, this is a no-brainer.
You can grab your tickets to the event here. Let’s look at some of the details.
Let’s hear what they have to say about the event, and a little about how to grab your tickets:
Come and join us for the event that started it all here at Frontline Gaming, the Bay Area Open! The BAO is the longest-running FLG event and will be significantly growing in size for 2023 and we are adding some additional game systems as well!
This two-day event will take place over May 27-28th, 2023 in the beautiful meeting space of the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront (located in Burlingame, CA – just outside the San Francisco airport). For those flying in, there is a free shuttle to and from the airport.
For 2023, the BAO will not be attached to Kublacon so we are able to expand our venue space and streamline the webcart. However, if you do wish to attend Kublacon after-hours, it is still taking place at the same time and located just down the street from us.

That does it for this one; now get your spot locked in now!

GW Shrinks Thier Warhammer Tournament Series for 2023
The tournament info comes from Warhammer Community.
So, this year they are cutting the tournaments by one, which might not seem crazy initially, but that’s a 20% decrease in events.
Also, they have a much more disparate spread of events this year, with the Southwest having no events. They cut out the California and New Mexico events, which means a large portion of the country will have to travel quite far. Now, onto why.
Industry insiders have told us poor attendance, low Twitch views, and costs of the finale (moved
