General Tournament Guidelines
- Pairings
- In the first round players will be matched up randomly. All attempts will be made that groups traveling together will not have to play each other. After the first round players will be matched up according to current battle points. (first place will play second place and so on) The only exception to this is you will never play the same opponent twice.
- Time Limits
- We ask that each player be conscious of time and that you play at a regular and steady pace in order to complete the game. Anyone found slow playing or deliberately stalling may be asked to leave the tournament. Unless both players agree that they will have time for a complete turn, do not start an additional turn.
- Terrain
- Players should determine before the game begins the nature and game impact of each piece of terrain.
- Lists
- This is an open list tournament. You will be required to provide a copy of your army list to the judges before the tournament and to each opponent before each game begins. Lists will be checked throughout the day, if you are found to have an illegal list you will be disqualified. (Sorry boyz, be sure to check that math!)
- Game Results
- Players will receive a battle result sheet at the end of each round. Each player must record the battle results of the round and sportsmanship score of their opponent and turn in their signed sheet to the judges. If the judges receive no sheet from you, you get the minimum score for the round.
