MODELS AND POINTS:
Each player must bring ONE army list consisting of 50 points or fewer. A second list may be brought as long as it features a different warcaster from the same faction (different levels count, i.e eSkarre and pSkarre can both be brought).
HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:
Competitors will participate in a number of games over the course of the day based on attendance (probably 3-4 games).
Players will receive Tournament Record Sheets at the beginning of each round. Each results sheet must be filled in properly to ensure that match-ups and point totals are correct. Once Record Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.
Each round you will play a different opponent.
Each round will last 100 minutes.
In the first round, players will be matched up randomly. After the first round, players will be matched up according to current rankings in the tournament (e.g., the player in first place will play the player in second place and so on). We will try our best not to pair players that come to the event together in the first round. We will also try not to pair the same faction against itself if at all possible. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded 1 TP and 0 CP's in accordance with the rules (but hopefully we'll have a ringer to fill in, just in case).
You will not play the same person twice.
The pairings for each round will be announced as soon as they are determined. Please be sure to arrive at your table ready to play right away. We ask that each player be conscious of the time and that you play at a regular and steady pace to complete the game. Anyone found slow playing or deliberately stalling for any reason will be penalized.
Each player turn in the event will last 12 minutes and each player will have a 6 minute extension that they can use once per game.
Each game will be played on a 4' x 4' board.
As this tournament is for charity, there will be opportunities throughout the day to purchase "tokens" that can be used for upgrades, bonuses and rerolls for your army. Some ideas (subject to change) are:
1 reroll of an attack, damage or tough roll
All female models, including warcasters) gain tough (they must actually be female, such as the Khador WG Officer)
One unit gains Advanced Deployment or Pathfinder.
Will this make the game possibly uneven? Sure. Will it raise more money? Yep, and thats whats important. Besides, it might be fun to be a little ridiculous for one tournament.
What You Need to Bring with You:
-Your (hopefully painted) miniatures
-At least two copies of your army list(s)
-Rulebooks and any additional books you need
-Paper and pencil or marker
-Cards for the models in your list
-Dice and templates
-Tape measure
-Something to transport your army from table to table
There will be a prize for the best general, as well as special special pink-tinted warcaster cards for the best general of each faction. Additional prizes for best painted may be furnished as well, though painting is NOT required to play.
