The rules look like a reposting from the last doubles, I think that was just around the time of the release of 5th before everyone was familiar with the rules.  So I would think that its using the 5th edition rules, just the same team structure as the last tourney.

Umm what were the rules for the last one?

they are posted as a link on the calendar.


1 HQ
0-1 Elites
2-3 Troops
0-1 Fast Attack
0-1 Heavy Support
In addition, the two players on a team share three ‘floating’ selections, one each in Elites,
Fast Attack, and Heavy Support. Either player may use up to two of these floating slots,
but may not use the same slot as their partner. For example, Player A takes a second
Elites choice and a second Heavy Support choice. This means their partner, Player B,
may take a second Fast Attack choice as the third floating slot.


with the exception of manditory choices for some armies, like you must take this HQ at this many points.  Those choices are allowed outside of these restrictions.  You are also allowed to use anything from the imperial armour books that is not : Flyers, Super Heavies, Super Heavy Fliers, Tyranid Monstrosities, any unit with Mass Points. The actual Forge World models must be used. You must bring a copy of the Imperial Armor rules for each of your opponents to view.

It will be using the 5th edition rules.  I'm not 100% sure that I can change the .pdf myself, but I'll try.

Same team structure as last tourney.

Fixed.  Yet another problem with Ctrl C and Ctrl V.

I would consider playing but it would violate my perfect history of never playing in tournaments. (well aside from megabattles but those dont count)

You've already been violated by GW for playing Blood Angels, there's really nothing to lose now.
