Three tournaments. One chance to make the RBA team for AlpineCon 2027.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next season, the RedBeard Association is bringing a new series of one-day qualifying tournaments called the <strong>Alpine Challenge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tournaments will take place in three cities:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Olomouc \/ Brno \/ Hodon\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim of the series is to give players from the region the opportunity to get involved in a competitive environment, gain experience and compete for a place on the team that will be sent to <strong>AlpineCon 2027<\/strong> under the RBA banner.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the game?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alpine Challenge is not just a series of one-day tournaments.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a qualifying pathway for players who want to take the next step &#8211; from individual play towards a team-based international environment.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A ranking of the best players will be created based on the results of the tournaments. From this ranking, a team will then be selected and assembled to represent the RBA at <strong>AlpineCon 2027<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is to give other players from Moravia and surrounding regions the opportunity to experience a big international team event, to get to know a different style of play, strong foreign opponents and an atmosphere that is hard to experience at a regular one-day tournament.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will the series work?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alpine Challenge will consist of a series of one-day individual tournaments in Warhammer 40,000.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each tournament will be a separate event, but players&#8217; scores will also count towards a common qualifying ranking.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From this group of players, the RBA will select a team for AlpineCon 2027.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team selection will not be just about one result from one day. Longer term performance, reliability, attitude to the game, ability to work as a team and willingness to represent the region on the international stage will be important. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orange Ticket for the winner<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each individual winner of the Alpine Challenge will receive an <strong>Orange Ticket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Orange Ticket means free entry to the singles section of AlpineCon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The winners of the individual tournaments will not only get points for the qualification ranking, but also a direct reward in the form of the opportunity to participate in the individual part of AlpineCon without entry fee.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is the Alpine Challenge for?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alpine Challenge is for players who:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>want to play competitive Warhammer 40,000,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>want to improve and compare themselves to a strong regional field,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>are interested in team play,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>want to gain experience in an international environment,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>want to compete for a spot on the RBA team for AlpineCon 2027.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t have to be a ready-made rep.<br\/>You don&#8217;t have to have years of team events under your belt.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You just have to want to play, improve, think about the game and be part of the team.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are we doing this?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main goals of the RedBeard Association is to develop the wargaming scene in the region and to open the way for players to participate in bigger events.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AlpineCon is one of the most exciting international team events in our area, and we want more players &#8211; not just those who already regularly attend similar events &#8211; to have the opportunity to experience it.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alpine Challenge is meant to be a bridge between the local tournament and the big international team scene.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A place to show not only who can win games, but also who has the attitude, reliability and team spirit needed for bigger events.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you expect?<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>one-day tournaments in Warhammer 40,000,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>three stops: Olomouc, Brno and Hodon\u00edn,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>individual format,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qualifying rankings for the RBA team for AlpineCon 2027,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orange Ticket for the winner of each tournament,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Competitive but fair environment,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>clear rules, mission and organisation,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a chance to move from the local scene to an international team event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Become part of the team<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Alpine Challenge is your chance to show you&#8217;ve got more than just one good game.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every tournament, every result and every point counts. But just as important will be attitude, communication and the ability to be part of the team that will travel to represent the RBA at AlpineCon 2027. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get your army ready.<br\/>Come fight.<br\/>Show you&#8217;ve got it.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The road to AlpineCon 2027 starts in Olomouc, Brno and Hodon\u00edn.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The road to AlpineCon 2027 starts here Three cities.
