Jaded Gamercast 
Hey guys, Tim here. I want to say that I agree with you to a degree, that composition as a theoretical concept is not a bad thing at all. I am all for an effective composition system being created, but have serious issues with every execution of it I have seen. Having gone through some of your past episodes I can see an issue with a comp council, considering it is clear that you guys and I have very divergent opinions on what is competitive, just the fact that you think CSM lash/oblit is still vaguely effective tells me this. Meanwhile, I have heard plenty of bad stories about top players trying to purposely make a bad list and still getting low comp scores, basically handicapping themselves for no benefit.
I hope you take a look this week at my 2nd question, taking a look at NovaOpen.com, and mentioning what you think of their ‘comp’ system. Here is a quick breakdown:
Day 1, you play four games of 40k with a swiss pairing system. His missions allow no battlepoitns, a win is a win, a loss is a loss, no draws. At the end of the day you are sorted into a group of 8 based on your wins-loss ratio. Effectively, regardless of player skill or list effectiveness, you are in a group of peers the next day in terms of expected game outcomes.
Day 2, you play the remaining four games in a playoff within your matched group only, eventually making 8 best general winners, each having come to the top of their group (with one player with 8 wins actually being crowned the tournament champion).
