Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship will be judged by checklist after each round:
# Did your opponent share their army list with you before the game? Yes/No
# Did your opponent come prepared to play and bring all required items to play (dice, templates, rulers, rulebooks, codices, pens, calculators, etc.) Yes/No
# Was your opponent consistent about game procedures, such as re-rolling cocked dice or picking up failed dice rolls instead of successes? Yes/No
# Did your opponent appear to measure movement and assault distances accurately? Yes/No
# Did your opponent show up on time and put forward a good faith effort to play at a timely pace and complete the game in the allotted time? Yes/No (3 points)
# Were rules issues that may have arisen during the game handled amicably by your opponent? Yes/No
# Was your opponent's army easy to understand with clear conversions or completely WYSWIG? Yes/No
# Would you voluntarily play this person again? Yes/No
Each question is worth 1 point, except for on time / played at a timely pace which is worth 3 points. This allows for a total of 30 possible points for sportsmanship.
Painting
Painting will be judged based on the following rubric:
# Fully painted with at least three colors - 10
# Fully based (flock, sand, etc) - 5
# Army received both of the above - 5
# Conversion points* - 2
# Details are painted (eyes, jewelry, belts) - 2
# Army has discernible highlights - 2
# Army has multiple highlights / washing / shading - 2
# Army is one of the top three judge's choice - 2
# Army has a full painted display base - 1 **
# Display base has a lot of detail / advanced painting or scene - 2 **
* Army has either multiple simple conversions or a small amount of advanced conversions.
For a total of 30 possible points, with someone who is fully painted+based regardless of the skill of said painting receiving at least 20. Then 3 bonus points for a display board. Display counts towards overall, but not best painted.
Armies painted by other people are not eligible for Best Painted but will not otherwise affect you. You'll still get points for painting and be eligible to win Best Overall.
Prizes
Prizes will be given out for:
# Best Overall
# Best General
# Best Sports
# Best Painted
*Note, the new Dark Eldar codex will not be allowed for this event. The official release date is inside of 30 days before the event, so if you are playing
DE, consider it the final chance to play that old 3rd edition dex.
