MODELS AND POINTS:
1. Each player must bring an army consisting of 1850 points or fewer, in accordance with these rules.
2. All models must follow “What You See Is What You Get” (
WYSIWYG). All weapons, war gear, and so forth must be represented on the model.
3. Forge World Imperial Armor units (and army lists) may
NOT be used. Forge world models may be used where appropriate, however.
4. We will require that each player submits an itemized army list to a Battleground Tournament Organizer on or before February 12th, 2011 (roughly a week before the event). An Army Builder .pdf is preferred but a detailed text file is acceptable.
Please email lists to ChaseLaq@gmail.com as soon as they are finalized.
5. If illegal units or other rules violations are found in a player’s army list, at a minimum,
the models in violation will be removed from all subsequent play. In addition, tournament points may be deducted and/or award eligibility may be forfeited. If in doubt, please ask for clarification in advance from a Battleground Tournament Organizer.
The scenarios we will be using for the event will be the 2010 Adepticon Championship Missions.
The scenarios can be found here.
HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:
• Competitors will participate in three (3) games over the course of the day. In each game, you
will play a scenario and record the outcome of the battle on your results sheet. Each round you
will play a different opponent. Each round will last 2.5 hours.
• 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 (Battle Points + Other Conditional Point Modifiers - presented in each scenario) 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. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded the average of the winning teams points for the round.
• You will not play the same person twice.
• We will do our best to prevent a player from playing on the same table 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 game will be played on a 4' x 6' board.
• Players will receive Results 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 Results Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.
BATTLES:
The Fifth Edition Rulebook will be in use for all games and will be the definitive guide
for all rules. The time limit for each game is
2.5 hours. At the end of this time limit, the round will be called; all players will need to finish their game immediately, and no additional time will be provided.
