COMPOSITION

1. standard army composition with theme forces allowed.

2. non-new players playing vs non-new players MAY NOT play below 50 pts. New players are defined as those who have not played in more than 3 official events

3. factions may not be changed throughout the event for one entry

4. a list (or ibodger) is required and must be shown before deployment

5. original cards must be used or an exact copy (black and white ok) but no other cards will be allowed (specially the home made ones)

6. proxies are NOT allowed and all models MUST be assembled. Paint is optional but recommended (as you can see below)

--------------------------------------------------------

GAMES

There is a limit of 3 games per opponent for this league. However, certain prizes will only be eligible for those who play against all players equally. There are also corresponding bonuses outlined below in scoring

There will be a 6 round limit and I recommend the use of deathclocks to maximize number of games per day (60 min each for 35pts, 80 min each for 50pts and 90 min each for 75)

If the round limit has been reached, the tie breaker will be control points, if that is still tied the game is considered a draw but is scored as a loss

Mangsky will serve as the tournament organizer and official referee for the event
