1.) Requirements: You must have 5, (five), copies of your army list. This must be a printed list, or extremely well written and legible. One is for your self, one for the judge, and one for each of your opponents. The store is not responsible for making your copies. We don’t have a copy machine. Write your list and make your 5, (five), copies ahead of time. You must bring a copy of your own Codex, and basic rulebook. We will not be in the retail store. The store will not be providing copies, (unless you want to buy them, of course.) Similarly, you need to provide your own dice, templates, rulers, and turn markers.

2.) Army Lists Allowed: All Codices that are currently in print are allowed, along with certain lists from White Dwarf or older codices. Blood Angels may use the list from White Dwarf. Space Wolves refer to their old codex, and to the new Space Marine Codex. Dark Eldar use the latest version of their codex. Sending in your army list ahead of time is always a good thing, and very appreciated. You can do this by email, (MikenJudyc@aol.com), or by sending me a PM on the forums.

3.) All of the most recent rules errata/faq’s are in effect. Please see the recent FAQ’s on the GW website. Please do not refer to rules that you do not have printed out or don’t have with you. What someone said on DakkaDakka, Warseer, or at Adepticon may not matter one bit. Polite discussion of the rules is always ok, at least until the Judge makes a ruling. The word of the Tournament Judges is final.

4.) All models must be WYSIWYG, (What you see is what you get). Please, do not bring a complicated proxy armies where chaos cultists are orks, or fantasy elves are Eldar. All models must be painted, to a minimum of 3 colors, and must have some type of basing added. If you do the minimum painting to play, expect to get a zero on your painting score. Unpainted, inappropriate, or incomplete models may not be used. Check first if you have a question.

5.) Good sportsmanship is important. Violations of this philosophy will have consequences.
The main goal is for all players to have an enjoyable time.

6.) All scenery will be fixed. Please do not move or adjust the scenery in any way.

7.) Scoring: 120 points, (Appearance: 30, Composition: 30, and each of 3 games: 20.)

Appearance – The quality of painting and conversions. Effort put into basing on models, movement trays, or a display board. , The overall ‘Wow!’ factor of the army. The use of a coherent theme or uniform appearance. Appearance is judge scored, and worth up to 30 points.

Composition – How difficult it is for someone to beat your army, regardless of player skill. How much fun it is to play your army. How many times have people seen this exact same list, or something close to it, at tournaments. Composition is judge scored, and worth up to 30 points.

Battles – Each game will be worth from 0 to 20 points for each player, depending on how much the margin of victory is. Scenarios with special rules may be used.

8) Prizes will be given for first, second, and third place finishers, along with anything else we feel like handing out swag for.
