Interest Check/Survey : Warhammer 40k Tournament

As a member of a group that plays the 40k tabletop wargame game on roll20, I thought it would be a good idea to start off the new (one week left until release) 7th edition rule-set with a tournament, open to everyone (as everyone will be as experienced as everyone else when the book comes out) Starting on 06/14/14 (tentative), I would be starting a single-elimination tournament with the (as of then 3 week old) 7th edition rules. Since adding tokens to the pages (so that no-one needs to download anything) takes a couple minutes, I would need to know if anyone would be planning on using units that we as of now don't have tokens for (so I don't have to scramble on game day to make sure everyone has everything) This tournament would be tentatively allowing everything except Horus Heresy books, Lords of War, Massive Fortifications, and Unbound lists. It would be 1500 points, standard force organization. Each round of the tournament would be a different game, and shared (EX-everyone's first game would be Crusade, everyone's second game would be Big Guns Never Tire, Third game would be the scouring, and so on.) Each round of the tournament would have a deadline (I'm thinking 7-10 days) that all games would have to be played by (if someone was unable to play due to conflicts, small delays would be acceptable, otherwise someone would be drafted to replace them) As this is an Interest check/Survey, I would like to know if anyone would be interested in joining, and with what factions. If anyone would be using units we might not have tokens available for as of now (Forgeworld units, etc) I would also like to know of those so I could grab those tokens now. Lastly, if anyone needs codices/other books as a PDF, I could probably provide those, although a quick googling never hurts. So, who would be interested in a tournament?
They are releasing 7th edition already?! Didn't they just release 6th...

i'd be interested in the tourney.. been a while since i played 40k.. (bit of a shame no HH allowed but understandable) as for units you don't have tokens for.. i might be using some FW units that might need tokens.. but that depends on how 7th edition messes with rules faction wise: deathkorps of krieg and imperial guards armored company are favs
Anyways I would like to point out that this 7th edition might just be a canary trap. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_trap" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_trap</a>

I doubt they would make an entire white dwarf and change their stocklist, as well as not sell rulebooks for a month to catch leaks. hell, most of these leaks have been speculated to be publicity stunts.

Would you look at that, it went on pre-release. Definitely not a canary trap. I guess once that actually drops i'll start the actual recruitment, and see if I can scrape together enough people.
