GAINING GROUND 2011
Official Tournament and Organized Play Rules
Organized Play
Gaining Ground 2011 contains tournament formats for Malifaux players in a competitive play environment.
Conversion Rules
Conversions are an excellent way to show o your modeling skills. In an Ocial Tournament, original sculpts are allowed if the TO deems them to be accurate representations of the models portrayed. If using a model that was converted with manufactured pieces, no more than 33% of the nished model may be built using other game companies models, while the rest must be either wholly or a combination of original sculpt or Wyrd-manufactured pieces.
Tournament Organizer
The Tournament Organizer, or TO, is the sole authority at Malifaux tournaments. TOs are expected to be fair and equitable in their adjudication of debates and rules questions. Regardless of the outcome, a TOs decision is nal. Players are encouraged to work out simple rules disputes among themselves because the round clock does not stop while waiting for the TO to answer questions.
Painting Rules
In an Ocial Tournament, a player is required to have fully-painted and based models without any visible bare metal or primer. The paint job should look like the painter made an eort to stay within the lines and enhance the appearance of the model with their painting. Bases should not be bare. For local tournaments, the TO determines whether or not to enforce the fully-painted requirement.
Sportsmanship
Malifaux is designed to be fun for all players. Players are expected to behave civilly and respectfully at all times. When asked, players should provide the information and statistics for models as well as any additional public information. Activations should be played in a timely manner, and players should allow opponents to cut their Decks.
Tournament Rules
Number of Rounds
The number of rounds in a tournament depends on the number of players in attendance. The TO may choose to establish the number of rounds based on time constraints or other reasons, but the suggested number of rounds are: 4-15 Attendees: 3 Round Tournament 16-32 Attendees: 4 Round Tournament 33+ Attendees: 5 Round Tournament
Warning System
Players are given a single warning when their behavior toward other players or the TO is considered unacceptable. If the behavior persists, and the TO determines the player to be a disruption to the tournament, it is within the TOs authority to disqualify the player from the tournament. Dont be that player.
Cheating
There is zero tolerance for cheating (other than Cheating Fate, which is, of course, encouraged). If the TO determines that a player is cheating, the player will be immediately disqualied from the tournament.
Round Time Limit

The amount of time provided for each round is based on the Soulstone Size of the Encounter. The round time begins when all players are at their assigned tables. A 10-minute period (accounted for below) occurs at the beginning of each round, during which players complete the Encounter Setup. Scraps (including Setup) 20 29 Soulstones: 70 minute Rounds 30 39 Soulstones: 85 minute Rounds 40 55 Soulstones: 105 minute Rounds Brawls (including Setup) 30 39 Soulstones: 100 minute Rounds 40 54 Soulstones: 120 minute Rounds 55 80 Soulstones: 145 minute Rounds At the end of the allotted time, the TO calls Last Turn to inform players to nish the current turn then count their Victory Points (VPs).
Player Responsibility
Players are responsible for providing: Crew models Rulebooks and Stat Cards Fate Deck Measuring tape Counters/Markers/Tokens
Proxy Rules
In an Ocial Tournament, proxies (substitute models) are not allowed under any circumstances, nor can a player enter a tournament with a model that has not yet been released to the general public. For local tournaments, the TO may allow proxies if they are deemed appropriate representations of the Wyrd model. Printed Stat Cards may not be used; players must physically possess the ocial up-to-date versions for tournaments.
Deployment Type
Gaining Ground Tournaments use only Standard Deployment for tournament games.
2 Organized Play

Strategy Selection
The TO chooses the manner in which Strategies are selected for each round. The TO can either establish which Strategies are used in each round (choosing from one of the following options) or if the players ip for their Strategies each round. Strategy method is announced to players before the tournament. Random Core Encounter Tournament All players ip for their Strategies from the Core Encounter Chart on p.11. If both players ip the same Core Strategy, they use the Shared version of that Strategy. Random Core Shared Encounter Tournament One player per table ips for the Strategy from the Core Encounter Chart on p.11. The players then use the Shared version of that Strategy. Random Expanded Encounter Tournament All players ip for their Strategies from the Individual Strategies Chart on p.69 of the Rules Manual. If both players ip the same Expanded Strategy, they use the Shared version of that Strategy. Random Expanded Shared Encounter Tournament One player per table ips for the Strategy from the Shared Encounter Chart on p.70 of the Rules Manual. The players then use the Shared version of that Strategy. Fixed Shared Strategy Tournament Each round, the TO announces the Shared Strategy to be used by the players. The TO selects a dierent Shared Strategy (Core or Expanded) each round.
Scheme Usage
Each round, the player has the option to use Schemes to help achieve Victory. Each player can choose from the General Schemes, Faction Specic Schemes, and Master Specic Schemes as long as the choice is valid based on the Strategy and the Crew being used. A brief list of Schemes is available on p.17. (Refer to p.100 of the Rules Manual for all the Schemes.) Schemes are considered unique in a Gaining Ground Tournament, meaning that each player can select each Scheme only once during the tournament. This requirement overrides any rule the Scheme includes about being selected more than once (such as Assassinate or Bodyguard). Players are responsible for accurately listing Schemes on their score sheets at the end of each Encounter.
Encounter Location Special Features

The TO has the option to establish Special Events and Special Terrain for the tournament. Players will nd charts for Special Events and Special Terrain on p.20. Use the appropriate terrain chart (Indoor or Outdoor). One player per table ips and refers to the appropriate chart to determine which Special Event or Special Terrain the Encounter will include.
Terrain Setup
The recommended amount of terrain for each playing surface is 18-21 pieces, which may be of any size. The minimum requirement for terrain is 12 pieces (if a TO does not have access to the necessary amount of terrain). Each half of the playing surface closest to each player should have at least 4 pieces completely within it. The Terrain should be placed fairly because it may not be moved once the game begins. If the players have a Strategy which requires terrain adjustment, the TO must be present for the adjustment.
Crew Construction
The TO establishes the Crew Construction methods used for the tournament from the following options: Open Faction Each player selects the Faction he or she wishes to use at the begining of each round, then follows the normal timing and restrictions for Hiring each round. Single Faction At the start of the Tournament, each player commits to a specic Faction (noted by the TO), then follows the normal timing and restrictions for Hiring each round. Limited Faction Pool (Requires Single Faction) At the start of the Tournament, each player commits to a specic Faction (noted by the TO) and provides a list of models that are worth 20 SS more than the Soulstone Size of the Encounter. Masters are not required in the Crew, but Totems and Henchmen are required if they are to be hired over the course of the tournament. At the start of each round, a player uses his or her specied model list to hire the Crew for the Encounter. Mercenaries always cost one additional Soulstone, even if some masters can hire them at a cheaper rate. Fixed Crews (Open OR Single Faction) At the start of the Tournament, each player commits to a number of pre-made Crews (noted by the TO) as established by the TO. Each Crew must have a dierent leader. A Crew cannot be used a second time by a player until all selected pre-made Crews have been used at least once. Remember, the TOs goal is to ensure that all the players are having fun. The TO should take all the players into consideration when establishing the Strategy Selection and Crew Construction types for the tournament.
Byes and Scoring Byes

If there are an odd number of players in an event, and no ringers are availble to ll in, the TO will establish Byes for the event. No player should receive more than one Bye round in an event. First Round Bye All Formats The last player to arrive at the tournament receives the bye. Second Round and later Byes Domination Format Each round, the player with the lowest total Tournament Points (TPs), who has not yet received a Bye, receives the Bye. Second Round and later Byes Disparity Format Each round, the player with the lowest Dierential Total, who has not yet received a Bye, receives the Bye. Second Round and later Byes Accumulation Format Each round, the player with the lowest total VPs, who has not yet received a Bye, receives the Bye. When a player receives a Bye, the players score sheet for that round is empty except for the word BYE where they would have listed the opponents name. The nal scores for players with a Bye are not calculated until the tournament ends.
4 Organized Play
Organized Play
At the end of the tournament, follow these steps for all players who received a Bye: 1. Score each players VP, TP, and Dierential. 2. Multiply each of those scores by the total number of rounds in the tournament. 3. Divide each of those scores by the number of rounds that the player played [should be 1 less than the total number of rounds]. 4. This is the nal score for that player. Example: Josh receives a Bye in round one of a three round tournament. Joshs tally for the other two games in the tournament are 10VP/4TP/+2 Dierential. Following the steps, Joshs nal score is: VP: 10 x 3 [total number of rounds] = 30 / 2 [number of games played by Josh] = 15 VP [Final] TP: 4 x 3 [total number of rounds] = 12 / 2 [number of games played by Josh] = 6 TP [Final] Di: 2 x 3 [total number of rounds] = 6 / 2 [number of games played by Josh] = +3 Di [Final] Joshs score before calculation was 10VP/4TP/+2Di while his nal score is 15VP/6TP/+3 Di. The nal score reects Joshs performance based on his other games and does not penalize him for receiving a Bye.
Tournament Formats
Official Tournament Format
Ocial Tournaments may vary in Strategy Selection, Crew Construction, and Scoring and Tournament Format. The Ocial Tournament Format can be used with Domination, Disparity, and Accumulation Tournament Formats.
Strategy Selection
Random Expanded Shared Strategy Tournament One player per matchup ips for the Strategy from the Expanded Strategies Chart on p.69 of the Rules Manual. The players then use the Shared version of that Strategy. Shared Story Encounter Tournament The event uses one of the Story Encounter Strategies for each game.
Forfeits and Conceded Games

If a player forfeits or concedes a game for any reason, the opposing player picks up a full score of 8VP/3TP/+8 Di for the round, with the forfeiting player receiving 0VP/0TP/-8 Di for the round. A forfeit should not be questioned, as the player may have an emergency or a personal situation arise that he or she may not want to discuss. However, be careful with forfeits as they can be abused by people trying to boost their friends scores in a tournament. In Ocial Tournaments, a player forfeiting a game must forfeit the entire tournament and loses the opportunity to win any awards for the event. If the forfeit was not emergency related, that player may be excluded from future Ocial Tournaments based on the TOs ruling. For local tournaments, TOs may discourage forfeits by removing the player from the remainder of the event. If forfeits become a recurring issue for a player, the TO should discuss the situation with the player, resulting in possible banishment of the player from a future event, to help avoid the issue from occurring again.
Crew Construction
Varies.

Use the appropriate terrain chart (Indoor or Outdoor). One player per table ips and refers to the appropriate chart to determine which Special Event or Special Terrain the Encounter will include.
Painting Requirements
Fully Painted All models to be hired by the player or summoned during the game must be fully assembled, completely painted, and appropriately based.
Scheme Usage
The complete list of Schemes are used, and the Schemes must be unique. Each player can choose from the General Schemes, Faction Specic Schemes, and Master Specic Schemes in the Rules Manual.

How to Track Scores

Tournament Points, Total Victory Points, Victory Point Dierential At the end of each Encounter, players count the VPs they earned that round. The player that earned more VPs than his or her opponent wins the game, and the opponent loses the game. When each player earns the same VPs, the game is a Draw. Victory Points [VP]: The amount of points each player earned. Example: Josh and Emma played a game, and Josh scored 6 VP while Emma scored 4 VP. Tournament Points [TP]: A Win awards 3 TP to the winner, a Draw awards 1 TP to each player, and a Loss awards 0 TP to the defeated player. Example: Using the example above, Josh receives 3 TP, while Emma receives 0 TP. Victory Point Dierential [DIFF]: Note the dierence between the players VP at the end of the Encounter. The player with the higher VP score receives DIFF equal to the positive amount of that dierence, while the player with the lower VP score receives DIFF equal to the negative amount of that dierence. Example: Using the example above, Josh receives +2 DIFF, while Emma receives -2 DIFF. Combining the above statistics, at the end of round one, Josh has a score of 6VP/3TP/+2DIFF while Emma has a score of 4VP/0TP/-2DIFF.
How to Track Scores


TP Primary Format First round pairings are random. After the rst round, the TO pairs players based on their TP scores. Players will always play other players with similar TP scores. After round one, and continuing for all rounds, players with higher TPs should be paired o against one another, while players with lower TPs should be paired o against one another.

DIFF Primary Format First round pairings are random. After the rst round, the TO pairs players based on their DIFF scores. Players will always play other players with similar DIFF scores. After round one, and continuing for all rounds, players with positive DIFF should be paired o against one another, while players with neutral or negative DIFF should be paired o against one another.
Determining a Winner
TP/DIFF/VP At the end of the tournament, rank all players in descending order from highest TP to lowest TP. The player with the highest TP is the winner! In case of any TP ties, the DIFF becomes the rst tie-breaker - the player with the higher DIFF wins. If this is also tied, VP is the nal tie-breaker, wherein the player with the higher VP wins the tie.
DIFF/VP/TP At the end of the tournament, rank all players in descending order from highest DIFF to lowest DIFF. The player with the highest DIFF is the winner! In case of any DIFF ties, the VP becomes the rst tie-breaker - the player with the higher VP wins. If this is also tied, TP is the nal tie-breaker, wherein the player with the higher TP wins the tie.
