MODELS AND POINTS:
1. Each player must bring an army consisting of 2500 points (but no fewer than 2450), in accordance with these rules...
2. Army lists MUST be emailed to Sam Pearson at
skulan@comcast.net no later than October 10th, 2011. Your list should be sent in Army Builder generated .pdf. Failing that, a detailed, itemized, .txt or .rtf file is fine.
3. ForgeWorld rules
will not be allowed for this event. ForgeWorld models may be used where appropriate, however.
4. The Folding Fortress is not allowed in this event.
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.
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 (based on the number of points they've scored) 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 players 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.
• Slow playing will
NOT be tolerated. If you suspect your opponent is slow playing PLEASE notify a Battleground staff member as soon as possible as we can not do anything about alleged slow play after the fact.
• 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 Eighth Edition Rulebook (and all relevant
GW FAQ) will be in use for all games and will be the definitive guide for all rules. The time limit for each game is

immediately (dice down), and no additional time will be provided.
