The store will open early for us around 9 am. We will be conducting early tournament check-in at that time.

Rankings will prioritize wins and losses, followed by points scored as a tie-breaker. Players will score points in a number of ways: by accomplishing objectives and killing enemy units. The maximum amount of points a player can earn in one round is 25 with a bonus of another 5 points for winning their game. After three rounds the best score a player can have is 90, plus bonus points for early list submission (see below).

This is an individual player tournament and will rank players by points scored by the method described above. The winners will be officially recognized tournament winners by Warlord games for the tri-state (NY, NJ, and CT) region.

• Best Player
• Runner Up
• Best Painted Army

Lists are due by midnight on April 19th, however, if you get your list to me by the morning of April 16th you will start the tournament with +5 bonus points. This will help me check the lists in a timely fashion.

Players will be matched using the Swiss Pairing system. Winning players with the most points at the end of round one will be matched against the player with the second highest score, and so on.

Warlord Games has generously provided us with several unique figures, certificates, and a good amount of Warlord products to award to tournament participants. Our group will also provide additional prizes for this event. More details will be available on the day of the tournament.

The following is a list of what is expected of players during the event. We want to make sure as little time as possible is lost and more time is available to play the games.

• Language: players must be able to speak enough English to complete a full game with no major translation issues.
• Slow Play: players are expected to complete a minimum of 5 turns during games.
• Rules Queries: any rules / LOS debates / odd scenarios that cannot be quickly cleared up via the rulebook, please call the Tournament Organizer over immediately.
• Dice Etiquette: please ensure all dice rolls are done on an open section of the board, or dice tray, in full view of your opponent. Any dice that hits the floor will be re-rolled.
• Order Dice Etiquette: please ensure all order dice are placed next to their activated units, with the correct order showing. For example, we do not want arguments about a unit benefitting from being Down, when their order dice incorrectly shows a rally order.
• Terrain: a document that details how each terrain type works will be released separately. 
• Referee Rulings: During a query referees will listen to both sides of the argument and come up with a decision based on the evidence. Once a decision has been made both players are to accept that ruling.
• After Game: Once a game has been completed, players are to record their scores, hand them to the Tournament Organizer.
