6. Good sportsmanship is important. Violations of this philosophy will have consequences.

7. There are 4 scoring components: Battle, Sportsmanship, Army Composition, Army Appearance. Battle is base solely on win/loss/tie. Sportsmanship is completely judged by your opponents after the game is over. Army Composition and Army Appearance have both a player-judged component and a tournament official-judged component.

There will be 6 awards:
• Best Overall is a combination of all 4 categories. Sportsmanship will be the tie breaker.
• Best Sportsmanship is based on the Sportsmanship score given you by your opponents with bonus points for being listed as Best Opponent. Army Composition will be the tie breaker.
• Best General is based on Battle Points. Sportsmanship will be the tie breaker.
• Best Army is a combination of Army Composition and Army Appearance. Sportsmanship will be the tie breaker.
• Players Choice - Voted on by the players
• Misfire is for the player with the worst luck. Submit these as they happen. Tournament organizers will be final Judge.

9. The tournament will consist of 6 games, 1 on Friday night, 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. The games will be scored 15/10/5 for win/draw/loss + up to 5 points for victory conditions specific to each scenario. A win is 300 pts or more. Bonus points will be given out dependant upon each scenario.

10. Pairing for the 1st and 2nd game will be determined by Judge based Army Composition. Hard armies will face hard armies, Fluffy Bunnies will face Fluffy Bunnies etc. After that, a modified Swiss System will be used to determine pairings, i.e. you will be playing opponents with similar Battle scores.
