I’ve played and judged in a few team tournaments. Normally I am the guy that scores 8-12 points. It is a fun and different format but I think I prefer singles still.

The next big one might be the Las Vegas Team Tournament in January. My team is playing and I’ll be there, but I’ll be judging the event.

  Awesome and fair enough. There’s no “right way” to 40K. Also kudos to you for judging and enabling others’ fun.
