Games are played using the online Heroscape interface. Check the spoiler for a how-to-play video.

YouTube

Using an online voice chat utility, such as Discord or Google Hangouts, improves the playing experience considerably.

For this event, each player will bring a 400-point army, with a maximum of 13 figures*. (C3V/SoV eligible, previewed AoA eligible, no Marvel.) Use Delta Points. AoA figures are available at their normal price.

Spoiler Alert!

Airborne Elite, Rechets of Bogdan, and Bound Heroes count towards the figure limit.

If the placed figures in the army require more than 24 start zone spaces, place the minimum number of additional start zone tiles needed adjacent to the back of the start zone, with a maximum of 6 additional tiles. All additional start zone tiles placed must be adjacent to standard start zone spaces, must be the same level as an adjacent standard start zone space (use grass or ice), and cannot be placed adjacent to a space that is not in the start zone. If there is a dispute in adding tiles, contact an organizer.

Instead of the normal prices for cards, use Delta prices. You may find the army builder on heroscape.org useful.

The regular season will last four weeks, with one game each week. After the regular season ends there will be a single elimination bracket for the top finishers.

Event Details and Rules:

Spoiler Alert!

Dice-off Equalizer - A check before each game to see the dice off win % for the tournament for each player will be made. If a player has a lower Dice off win % than his opponent, he will automatically win the dice off. Should the win % be tied, a dice off will be performed.

Time Controls

If, at the end of any turn, both of the following conditions are met:

• One player has taken 20 minutes less game time than their opponent according to the app AND
• At least 60 minutes of gameplay time has passed since the timestamp of the first set OMs,

Then the player who has taken less time than their opponent may note the current time gap in the chat window and warn their opponent that they are approaching the timed game finish. After that point, if the time gap between the two players increases by another 10 minutes beyond the noted gap, then the player who has taken less time than their opponent may end the game on time. The game will then go to partial card scoring.

Additionally, if one player has taken 40 minutes less game time than their opponent, the player who has taken less time than their opponent may note the current time gap in the chat window and warn their opponent that they are approaching the slow play forfeit. After that point, if the time gap between the two players increases by another 20 minutes beyond the noted gap, then the player who has taken less time than their opponent may claim a win on time, irrespective of the game situation.
The organizers reserve the right to nullify either of the time controls rules if we find that it is being abused or if we believe the time recorded on the app is incorrect.

Because of the time control rules, it is important to use the app's clocking features correctly.

• Always press the "done" button when your turn is complete.
• If you decide to move to a position where your opponent has the option of a leaving engagement attack or engagement strike, use the appropriate quick message button to tell them to make that roll.
• If you have any out-of-turn movement (scatter, scurry, etc), press "done" when you are done with that movement.
• If you decline an out-of-turn action (e.g. you don't want to attempt a leaving engagement attack on Krug, or you don't want to scatter), press "done" to decline the action.

Stalemate Rule

At the end of any round after the fourth round of the game, a player may activate the stalemate countdown by informing their opponent in the chat window. After that call, if three or more consecutive rounds pass where:

1. There is no attack or attacking power* used against an opponent, and
2. Each player wins initiative at least once,

Then the game is over and the winner is determined by partial card scoring.

Note: If a wound is healed (and/or a destroyed figure is returned to the battlefield) then the attack or power that inflicted the wound (and/or destroyed the figure) does not count for the purposes of avoiding a stalemate.

* "attacking powers" are defined as any special power on an army card or glyph that inflicts wounds, destroys figures, or takes permanent control of figures.

Scheduling

Once a round is announced, you will have one week to complete your game. Please attempt to schedule a time to play your game with your opponent.

If after 72 hours (3 days) you have not been able to reach your opponent via PM, please notify the organizers of the situation. Also notify the organizers if you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week.

If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players may be given a loss.

The tournament organizers reserve the right to manually set the pairings involving players with a history of either failing to schedule their games, or not showing up for scheduled game times. Such players will also not be given the benefit of the doubt should scheduling conflicts arise.

Reporting Game Results (and dropping out)

The winner of the game must use the game result form to report results. (This will be linked once the tournament begins.)

If you do not want to continue in the tournament into the next round, please PM an organizer to let them know.

Etiquette for watching games

• Only the tournament referees (Dysole, kevindola, dok, vegietarian18, and superfrog) are authorized to make binding rulings. If no referee is present in a game, ask before offering your opinion.
• Refer to this thread for the etiquette rules of the Online Heroscape tournaments.

Disputes

The tournament referees are Dysole, kevindola, dok, vegietarian18, and superfrog. These players may make rulings on in-game disputes (line of sight, figures fitting on a space, dice rolled too soon/too late, etc) in games where they are not playing. If there is a dispute and one of these players is online, they may issue an on-the-spot ruling. If you have a dispute you cannot resolve, and none of the referees are present, you may stop the game and PM the tournament referees for a ruling.

NOTE: if a ruling is made late in the week and there is not enough time to schedule completion of the game, the tournament referees may issue a forfeit loss to the player who was ruled against.

AoA figures and VC figures are cohabiting on a provisional basis for this season. If people have thoughts (now or during/after the season) please let us know.

If you use Xenithrax, please note these rules for Xenithrax Vines:

Xenithrax Vines (Vines) (x3)
If a Huge figure moves onto this Glyph, this Glyph is immediately removed from the battlefield and that figure may continue its movement. Figures standing on this Glyph roll 1 fewer attack die and 2 fewer defense dice. When a figure on this Glyph moves off of the Glyph, roll one attack die. If you roll a skull, that figure takes one wound. Remove this Glyph from the battlefield after a figure moves off of it, or at the end of the round if a figure is standing on it.

superfrog was going to have topdowns ready for the AoA figures, but real life thwacked him over the weekend. Please use reasonable proxies until he's able to get them up.

~Dysole, who doesn't remember the last time we had 38 players in a season

[dok]

A couple quick notes:

- We are anticipating having some "pogs" and/or topdowns of the relevant AoA figures ready later this week. If you play before they are ready, just agree with your opponent on reasonable proxies to use in their stead.
- Ewashia is considered adjacent to water when she is next to the hive.

Got the win vs. vegie.

Armocs/Zogross rolled well enough to out trade the Greenscales even though they were rolling 3v4/5s vs. 3v3s. Krav then put 4 wounds on Xen on their first activation of the game. Vegie killed a couple things to end the round before I won initiative and used Armocs to tie up Xen and put 3 more wounds on him. Krav then finished him and the last two Greenies up before spending the next 6 Order Markers across 3 rounds killing Isamu while he didn't kill anything (4 Isamu activations).

[SkyWhale]

Braxas pulled through for me vs dachshund!

She rolled real hot for poison acid, and her defense wasn't too shabby either.

[Dunedain]

Tight game against OG-Blaha. Led out with PKs against his Ewashia, Ana, Otar, and Onshu pod, they got some good position but weren’t doing much in terms of attacking power. Brought Eltahale out round 2 and she was worth her weight, pretty much soloed the army while Ewashia did almost the same to my PKs singlehandedly. The big swing was a thunder ram taking out Ana and two Nakita’s, even with that though Ewashia was a tank and kept chipping away PKs and Eltahale’s health until she got one shot on a blank defense roll to end the game. GG to OG-Blaha
