TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament will conclude after 3 Swiss Rounds. Each Swiss
Round pairs players in head-to-head games, attempting to
match players with the closest numbers of points together while
preventing players from playing the same opponent more than
once. For the first round, players are matched randomly.

Round Time
Each Round will be played over the course of 2 hours. 15 minutes
before the round time ends, the organizers will announce so.
After this announcement, all players will be allowed to finish
the currently played round and should not begin the next round,
making it the last round. After that round is finished, if any player
believes that there is enough time to play out another round at
their table, they should contact the organizers, who will examine
the game state and decide if playing out another round is possible
in the remaining time and allowed.

Scoring
During each game, players will fill out the Score Sheet by putting
Small Points into proper brackets as outlined in the current
Scenario. After the game ends, 20 Large Points will be divided
among the players, depending on the difference in Small Points.

Small Point Difference Large Point Difference

0-29 10 - 10
30-59 11 - 9
60-89 12 - 8
90-119 13 - 7
120-149 14 - 6
150-179 15 - 5
180-209 16 - 4
210-239 17 - 3
240-269 18 - 2
270-299 19 - 1
300+ 20 - 0

Bloodbath
When a player destroys the last enemy unit, the game immediately
ends. That player adds 200 Small Points to their current score
before Large Point split.

Bye
When necessary, a player may be assigned a bye instead of being
paired against an opponent. That player receives 15 Large Points
and 150 Small Points for that game.

Tie Breakers
The main Tie-Breaker is the number of Large Points.
Tier 1 Tie-Breaker is the number of Large Points acquired by
opponents from every round.
Tier 2 Tie-Breaker is the number of Small Points.

SCENARIOS
Organizers will set up tables with terrain for every round. Every
table will feature the same setup. In each round, a different
scenario will be played and dedicated Scenario Sheets will be
handed out. Games will be played on 30” x 40” Battle Boards.
Claiming Flags in all scenarios follows the regular objective
claiming rules from the Scenario Guide. Claiming requires having
a unit in 3” when the enemy has none, or having at least 2 units
more when the opponent has any. All supports count as 1 unit.
Game 1 - First Cut
Duration: 5 Rounds
Deployment: Regular (6” from the edge)
Setup: 3 Objective Flags across the middle lane - 7” from the left
edge, 7” from the right edge, and in the center.
Scoring:
Small Points equal to the cost of destroyed units.
20 Small Points for each claimed Flag at the end of each Round.
25 Small Points for First Blood.
Extra Rules:
Only in this Scenario, when a Player claims a Flag, that Player
places their Control Token next to it (or replaces the opponent’s
Control Token if there is one). There can be a maximum of 1
Control Token per Flag. At the end of a Round, if there are no units
next to a Flag but one Player has a Control Token next to it, that
player claims the Flag.
Game 2 - Bloodrage
Duration: 5 Rounds
Deployment: Wide Front (in opposite corners)
Setup: 3 Flags across the middle diagonal lane - 13” from the
upper left corner, 13” from the bottom left corner, and in the
center. 2 Blood Flags in each deployment zone corner - 5” from
each edge.
Scoring
Small Points equal to the cost of destroyed units.
20 Small Points for each claimed Flag at the end of each Round.
25 Small Points for Last Blood.
Extra Rules:
Blood Flags do not grant Small Points when claimed. Only a Blood
Flag located in the opponent’s deployment zone can be claimed
by a player. Claiming a Blood Flag allows the player to gain all the
following bonuses:
• Steal the Initiative Token.
• Apply Stun to any enemy unit.
• Gain +3 Inspire Tokens to distribute at the beginning of the
next round.
If both players claim Blood Flags in the same Round, neither
gains the bonuses. Even though players cannot claim Blood Flags
in their own Deployment Zones, they can still prevent the enemy
from claiming them by having units next to it as in the regular
objective claiming rules.
This scenario has alternative Deployment Zones in corners and is
played across the table diagonally, instead of top to bottom.
Game 3 - Till Last Drop
Duration: 5 Rounds. Roll a D6 after round 5. On 4+, play an
additional 6th Round.
Deployment: Regular (6” from the edge)
Setup: 3 Objective Flags across the middle lane - 7” from the left
edge, 7” from the right edge, and in the center.
Scoring:
• Small Points equal to DOUBLE the cost of destroyed units.
• 50 Small Points for each claimed Flag, only at the end of the
LAST Round.
• 50 Small Points for Presence - can be awarded once per game
to each player if they have a unit in each Quarter at the end of
a Round.
Extra Rules:
In this scenario, there is a possibility that an extra 6th round will
be played. Flags are claimed only in the last Round. All points for
destroying enemy units are doubled.
For the purpose of scoring Presence, the battlefield is divided into
four Quarters by a virtual horizontal and vertical line that cross
in the middle. If a unit is standing on the line between two or
more quarters, the player decides in which Quarter that unit has
presence this round (but cannot choose both quarters).
Each player can only score the points for Presence once per game
when they have a unit in each Quarter.
JUDGING AND CODE OF CONDUCT
Players are expected to behave in a mature and considerate
manner and to play within the rules and not abuse them. This
prohibits intentionally stalling a game for time, moving units with
excessive force, inappropriate behavior, treating an opponent
with a lack of courtesy or respect, cheating, etc. Collusion
among players to manipulate scoring is expressly forbidden. The
organizer, at their sole discretion, may remove players from the
tournament for unsporting conduct.
Players are expected to follow the game’s rules, remembering to
perform actions and use effects when indicated. It is each player’s
responsibility to maintain a proper game state and to ensure that
all mandatory abilities and game steps are acknowledged. If a
player forgets to use an effect during the timing specified by that
effect, that player cannot retroactively use it without the consent
of their opponent.
A player cannot change any decision they have declared after any
units are moved, dice are rolled, tokens are placed, or further
decisions by an opponent are made.
The event will have an oversight of multiple judges well-versed in
the game’s rules and regulations. A judge’s responsibilities include
assisting players to resolve disputes and answering questions
regarding the game’s rules. Some judges may be participating
in the tournament as players. In a case of a dispute during the
game involving such a judge, another judge will be responsible for
resolving disputes.
