WOW, tickets are selling quick! Over half sold out halfway through the first day! Don’t hesitate to get those tickets.
The Bay Area Open is a pedigreed event and the one that started everything for Frontline Gaming. We’re pleased to announce the 7th year of this premiere 40k tournament! We’ll be at Game Kastle again this year, and will be hosting the tournament in their event center, located at 550 Showers Dr, Mountain View, CA 94040.
We’ll be reducing our total attendance to 150 from 200 this year in order to make the event more spacious and enjoyable! This also means that this event will likely sell out extremely quickly as it sold out in just over a week last year.
- What: A Warhammer 40k Tournament
- When: July 29th and 30th
- Where: Game Kastle: Mountain View, 550 Showers Dr., Mountain View, California 94040
- Why: Because 40k tournaments are awesome!
We can’t wait to see who puts their name on the coveted Belt of Russ this year! Brandon Grant was the champ last year, who will don the belt this year?!
This will of course, be an ITC format tournament.

Is it July 16th and 17th or July 29th and 30th? or is it both, double tourny?
29th and 30th! Sorry for the confusion.
Though it is sold out, the date is wrong if you click on the BAO 2017 from the home page. Please send me my Warden Knight to cover my QA services.
Purchased and going, bringing a pure tau list, no allies of any sort!
Nice! See you there.
we’ll see how it goes, I haven’t seen any lists like it in other tournaments and well I’ve never seen unallied tau make it far beyond monster mash.
Yeah, true, although drone factory tau does well but often has allies like you said.
How long is the wait list? Just looked this up – was hoping to play but might end up watching.
