The event that started it all for us here at Frontline Gaming, the Bay Area Open is now in its 10th year having come a long way from the days out in “The Barn” as we affectionately referred to the Antioch County Fairgrounds.

BAO 2 in the Barn Weve come a long way since then

Now, the BAO is at the lovely Marriott Waterfront just minutes from the San Francisco airport.

As a part of the large KublaCon which offers loads of fun gaming activities, there’s so much to do at the BAO now!

For GW games we have some awesome offerings as well. Multiple 40k, AoS & Kill Team events!

This year, the 40k Champs will be a true Super Major as well, with room for 256 players and a true champion with a top 8 on Sunday just as with the LVO. This means the event will be one of the highest ITC scoring events of the season! Come on out and get those points. We also have 40k Sunday RTT events to pick up some extra tournament points and the chance for great prizes, as well as a AoS laid back doubles event and Championships event in addition to some great Kill Team action as well. Many main event tickets include your con badge as well, making this a very affordable event for the size!

          There is a difference between reading and questioning whether what was read is correct.

          I read it was at the Marriott. What I was asking was, is this information that I read correct?

    Barn + pairings delay* + Reece doing PR-damage control = Pabst

    From these elements, make your own joke, folks.
