 TOURNAMENT
RULES
PRE-GAME SEQUENCE (30-Minute Limit)
After the mission number has been determined each player will follow this sequence:
1. Players will check that their board and terrain are correctly arranged.
2. Players set up objective markers in the locations specified by the mission.
3. Players roll off and the winner decides who will be the Attacker and who will be the Defender.
The Defender selects which drop zones they will use. The Attacker takes the other drop zone.
4. Each player hi-lights which operatives they will be using on their Command Roster and
simultaneously reveal their kill teams and which Tac Ops Archetypes they can take with each other.
If a player’s kill team includes a LEADER operative, they add 2CP to their pool.
5. Players choose their Tac Ops Archetype for the mission, and select 3 Tac Ops (from the list on
Pages 2-3) and record them on their SCORE SHEET.
6. Each player selects up to 10 points worth of equipment from their faction army list and records it
next to the operatives or in their notes section on their Command Roster. Once both players have
selected their equipment, they simultaneously reveal it with each other.
7. Players alternate setting up their barricades, one at a time, starting with the Defender, until the
players have set up two barricades each. Barricades must not be within 6” of their opponent’s
drop zone, within 2” of access points, or within 2” of another barricade, and cannot be set on a
terrain feature (unless it has the Insignificant trait.
8. The Defender sets up all their operatives on the board, then the Attacker sets up all their
operatives. Operatives must be set up wholly within the player’s drop zone, and must be given an
engage or conceal order.
9. Players then select their scouting phase option to determine the initiative of the first Turning
Point. If both players pick the same scouting option, the Defender wins the tie. (See diagram)

GAME LENGTH, TIES and CONCESSIONS
Each round of the tournament lasts no more than 2 hours. Each game lasts 4
Turning Points. Games should always be played to completion to ensure a fair
and accurate tournament score. At the end of the game, the player with the most
victory points is the winner. If there is a tie, whichever player has scored more
points on mission objectives is the winner. If there is still a tie, the player with the
highest amount of APL of models left on the battlefield at the end of the battle is
the winner. If the game is being played using the Swiss format, and there is still a
tie at this point, the tie will be recorded as a perfect tie for the purposes of
scoring. If the game is being played using a single elimination format and there is
still a tie, the game will go into OVERTIME and the players will play additional
Turning Points until a winner can be declared at the end of a round. Every
additional Turning Point played will increase the mission objective maximum by 4
points. If a Tac Op score is not maxed out, it can still be scored in overtime,
however Tac Ops are still maxed at 2VP. If a player wins by one of the tie-breaker
methods above, they are awarded 1 extra Victory Point. If the game goes into
Overtime, then the final score will be the score.
If one player chooses to concede before the game has come to a natural
conclusion, they automatically score whatever their total was at the point of
concession (0 Victory Points if they concede before the game begins) and their
opponent is marked as the victor. At the time of concession, the victor keeps their
current score and earns 5 additional Victory Points per remaining Turning Point (to
a maximum of 18 total Victory Points).
IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
PAINTING/MODELING REQUIREMENTS
Models must be modeled with the actual wargear they are listed with on your
Command Roster (WYSIWYG), but you are not required to model in-game
equipment. This tournament will follow the ITC rules for: Painting/Modeling and
Sportsmanship found in the “ITC 40k 9th Edition Tournament Format and
FAQ“ As well as the “ITC Code of Conduct”.
CHESS CLOCK RULES
Chess Clocks are available upon request.
Chess Clocks cannot be requested Game 1 or Game 2 of a tournament.
Chess Clocks are set initially with 45 minutes for each player. The clocks are
paused during the Pre-Game Sequence, Initiative Phase, and Strategy Phase and
start during the first Firefight Phase of the first Turning Point. Chess Clocks are
only used during the Firefight Phase of all subsequent Turning Points, and are
paused during the Initiative and Strategy Phases of every Turning Point.
If one player reaches 0:00 on their clock the other player is allowed to play until
their clock also reaches 0:00. Once both players reach 0:00 the game is scored at
whatever the current game state is. The game can also end naturally before the
time is reached. If both players reach 0:00 and the game is a perfect tie in a Swiss
Pairings game (see Game Length, Ties and Concessions) then a tie will be
recorded. If both players reach 0:00 and the game is a perfect tie in a Single
Elimination game then 10:00 will be added to each clock until the game reaches a
conclusion.
RULES
Each player is responsible for their own time. It is a player’s right but not their
obligation to make sure that their time is being handled properly. Any major rule
dispute results in a paused time scenario. The time is to remain paused until a
formal judge is called to the table and resolves the dispute. If a player’s time runs
out, they may not perform any actions except for those listed below. The only
exception is if they are in the middle of moving a unit, they may finish so that the
unit is placed legally on the board. Any other action is immediately stopped. If a
player runs out of time they may only perform the following actions:
Making saving throws
Scoring objectives that they have already achieved or already hold.
It is each player’s right to pass the time to his opponent whenever they are making
an action or spending time making a decision.
Some examples of this are as follows:
You finish rolling your attack dice. Pass the clock to your opponent so he can roll
his defense dice.
You resolve a successful hit in a fight. Pass the clock to your opponent so that he
can resolve one of his successful hits.
These examples are limited but show the basic concept. You manage your own
time and it is up to you to pass the clock. If you burn your own time, it is not your
opponent’s fault.
Chess clocks could be issued if there are recurring time issues reported about
a player, or alternatively if both players agree that they both would like a
chess clock issued to their table.
CHEATING RULES
Don’t cheat.
If you receive 3 Yellow Cards in a tournament for
unsportsmanlike conduct, you will be forced to
concede from the remainder of the tournament
and admission paid will not be refunded.

KILLZONE
AREN A 2023
On arena boards, walls are marked with red lines on arena maps.
They are treated just like a Wall in Kill Team: Into the Dark (2022)
(Page 66). Arena Doors are treated like a Hatchway/Access Point
(Page 68), the only difference is when a door is opened, you
will remove it from the board, and treat the place where it
was previously located as an Open Hatchway. For all
rules purposes, when the door is closed, the door is
treated as a Closed Hatchway.

CLOSE
QUARTERS
Operatives can perform the
following mission actions:
HATCHWAY FIGHT - 1AP
This action is treated as a Fight action. An operative can perform this
action if all of the following is true:
• It is not within Engagement Range of an enemy operative.
• Its base is touching an open Hatchway’s access point.
• An enemy operative is blocking that access point (an enemy
operative is blocking that access point if it is on the other side and
within 2’ of that access point)
Fight in combat with the active operative against an enemy operative
blocking that access point. In the Select Valid Target step of that
combat, that enemy operative is a valid target.
OPERATE HATCH - 1AP
An operative can perform this action while within 1” of a Hatchway’s
access point. Open or close that Hatchway. An operative cannot
perform this action while within Engagement Range of an enemy
operative, or if that Hatchway is open and an enemy operative is
within 1” of its access point.
An operative can perform this action during a Dash or Normal Move
action, and any remaining increments of movement can be used after
it does so. Note. However, that opening a Hatchway can cause the
operative to be within Engagement Range of an enemy operative, in
which case that Dash or Normal Move action would immediately end
(unless the operative has any rules that allow it to move within
Engagement Range of an enemy operative e.g. Fly)
Models can never be set up outside of their own
Drop Zone, regardless of any other rules that would
normally allow them to do so.
In missions on the Translocum Chamber and Crypt of
Cynosure boards, Command Nodes, Choke Points, Firing
Points, and Firing Arcs cannot be used and have no
effect. Pitfalls count as regular floor, models can end
their move on top as normal.
CONDENSED ENVIRONMENT
• Weapons with Blast/Splash/Torrent gain the Lethal 5+ Special Rule.
• When a friendly operative makes a shooting attack with the Indirect
rule, you can either remove Indirect from its profile, or choose to
use it and become Range 3”.
• If a Cover line for a shooting attack crosses one or more operatives
with 6+ wounds with an Engage order, unless it is a friendly
operative in Engagement range with the target, roll one less Attack
dice.
• Remove the following Tac Ops from the game: Seize Ground, Hold
the Line, Sabotage, Vantage, Blow It Up!, & Dark Desecration. If
removing these Tac Ops would force you to have less than 6 Tac Ops
total, you can add Tac Ops from another Archetype your team has
access to. If your team only has access to one Archetype, choose
from any other single Archetype when adding Tac Ops until you
have 6 Tac Ops available.
GUARD - 1AP
The operative goes on guard (see below). An operative is on guard
until any of the following are true:
• It performs a guard attack or any actions (excluding Pass)
• An enemy operative ends an action within Engagement Range of it
and it does not make a guard attack.
• Its order is changed to Conceal.
• It is the end of the Turning Point.
This action is treated as a Shoot action. An operative cannot perform
this action if it has a Conceal order or while within Engagement Range
of an enemy operative.
ON GUARD
Once during each enemy operative’s activation, after that enemy
operative performs an action, you can interrupt that activation and
select one friendly operative on guard to make one of the following
guard attacks:
• Perform an Overwatch action
• Perform a free Fight action
• Perform point-blank overwatch
If an operative performs point-blank overwatch, it performs an
Overwatch action with the following additional rules:
• It can perform an Overwatch action while within Engagement Range
of an enemy operative, and the enemy operative within its
Engagement Range is the target, regardless of any other rules.
• Until the end of the interrupted enemy operative’s activation, each
time that friendly operative fights in combat, do not select melee
weapons or roll attack dice for it during that combat.
Note that it must be an enemy operative’s normal activation that is
interrupted; it cannot be after an enemy operative performs an action
outside of their normal activation e.g. Overwatch. If an enemy
operative has its activation interrupted by a guard attack, would be
incapacitated and is subsequently revived during its activation (e.g.
the Medic! Ability), its activation immediately ends.

forgotten your event pin, make sure to ask the Tournament Organizer to reset
your pin.

2. Create an account using the same email you used when registering for the event. Your app
account is tied to your email address for all BCP registrations, so make sure you use the same
email for future events you participate in as well. If someone else has bought your ticket, or
you’ve used the wrong email, please contact the Tournament Organizer to update your player
record.
3. Tap on the “My Events” menu option. Your upcoming and recent events will be listed on this
page.
4. Select the event. If you pre-registered, check-in is available when you are near the event and

menu option.

INTERNATIONAL
TOURNAMENT CIRCUIT
INTERNATIONAL
TOURNAMENT CIRCUIT
The International Tournament Circuit (ITC) is an international coalition of tabletop gaming
tournaments. Tournaments that participate in the ITC award points to players for their final
placement at the event. Events are categorized into 3 different categories, RTTs, GTs, and
Majors. RTTs are an event with 2 - 19 players, GTs are an event with 20 - 39 players, and
Majors are an event with 40+ players. Your total score is a cumulation of your top 5 scores,
however you cannot fill the total 5 scores with just RTTs or GTs. RTTs can only make up a total
of 3 of your total scores, and GTs can only make up a total of 4 of your total scores. That
means in order to have the full 5 scores you must have at least one Major.

The ITC breaks up into yearly “seasons.” The season begins and ends with the Las Vegas
Open (LVO) every year, meaning that the last score you can get for a season is at an event at
the LVO. Once the final scores are tabulated from the Championships event at the LVO, the
score is finalized and a ceremony takes place at the LVO every year where the prizes for the
top 3 scorers of the year are awarded. Then the new season begins again.

Current rankings and scores can be found on frontlinegaming.org

Anyone can run an ITC event or participate in an ITC event. If you are a Tournament
Organizer, please check the T.O. Resources folder for information how to run an ITC event on
the Best Coast Pairings App.
