We have broken away from the GT/GD format so that we can focus on the Chicago GT specifically. This will ensuring that the GT will get the attention it deserves from our staff. We’re also looking forward to getting back some of that “old school” feel by moving the event to a hotel rather than a convention center. The Chicago GT will feature separate tournaments for:

• Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament
• Warhammer Grand Tournament
• The Lord of The Rings Grand Tournament

October 3-5, 2008

Non-Players at the Event
Many of you have asked about the presence of those not playing in the GT. We are fine with partners (husbands, wives, boyfriends, or girlfriends) and children coming into the hall, but these visitors must be careful to not interrupt the gaming in any way. This means no tactical suggestions, no moving of models, no rolling dice, or anything else that might delay the game or distract your opponent. In addition, we will probably set up an area where family members could sit down and do a bit of hobbying.
