Goonhammer has just announced the new Unified Tournament Circuit (UTC) across Eastern Canada and the Northeast USA for Warhammer events!
This is a new circuit to tap into to run tournaments like Warhammer, and you can send scores to both circuits! They are partnering with  Tables and Towers and Fabricator’s Forge to launch the UTC with premier tournaments to start things off.
The scoring also looks very promising by tackling some of the problems with the ITC; most notably, smaller events have better rewards, and players are less punished for losing early in an event.
Goonhammer Announces the Unified Tournament Circuit (UTC)
Let’s hear a little more from the announcement from Goonhammer!
This might be the biggest question on everyone’s mind:
Is This a Competitor to the International Tournament Circuit (ITC)?
Absolutely not. We love the work that Frontline Gaming and Games Workshop have done – the ITC remains the premier global tournament circuit for Warhammer. Furthermore, we aren’t interested in forcing tournament organizers to choose between circuits – events in the UTC will still submit scores to the ITC, same as before. The players who participate in those events will receive additional scores for their efforts in the UTC over the course of the season. We’ve made joining the UTC as seamless as possible, so TOs won’t be forced to choose between circuits.
Next up, you need to know how they are scoring everything and where you can play:
How will UTC events be scored?
We’ve been hard at work on our own metric for scoring UTC events that takes the best of the existing system while also avoiding some of the challenges of the ITC system. In particular, our system has better rewards for smaller events, getting into winning position at an event, and is less harsh on players who lose in the early rounds of an event. The best part? It’s completely transparent – you can go see how scoring works right here, and you’ll know how each event can improve your score. For this first season, we’ll be using the top 6 scores for each player for best overall.
What events are in the UTC? Where can I find them?
We’ve got an entire schedule of events you can find here.
If you want to be a part of the tournament circuit, shoot an email to contact@goonhammer.com, and they will be happy to add you to the circuit! Last but not least, here’s what you can get for winning:
How do I win the UTC?
Now we’re talking – I love where your head’s at. At the end of the 2023 season, the top Warhammer 40k and top Age of Sigmar players in the UTC (final numbers TBD) will be invited to participate in an invitational tournament to determine the circuit champion. Show up to the event, win your tournament, and claim your prizes.
