From the looks of it, Nova Open is losing a ton players due to their policies, as a big alternative 40k tournament is taking place for FREE!
It still seems that more people are upset about the latest NOVA Open policy update and hardline stance on refunds or credits for their event, which we discussed here.
If word of mouth is to be believed, many of the NOVA Open events are losing players, not just Warhammer 40k. However, out of all the games, 40k is the only one so far to organize an alternative.
NOVA Open Alternative 40k Tournament
If you do want to go to a different event that weekend, you can check out this free GT at (Tables and Towers) If you want to see all the details, here is the updated BCP listing. At this time, there are still about 30 tickets left, which means 50 people have already signed up, and should easily make this a major.
So pretty cool to attend a major for free, and there is even a chance they will refund your NOVA Open ticket if you go according to their social media posts. However, not only will there be free tickets, there are some pretty dope prizes as well.
