Open Division....5 rounds, 550 points.
Youth Division....3 rounds, 500 points.

Open Division (6): Paul, McLeod, Quozl, Longy, GMV & Hidicul
Youth Division(4): Louisa, Ian, Mady & Piper

Open Division Heat of the Battle* – 5 Rounds of 55 minutes each. 15 minutes between rounds.

Youth Division Traditional Format – 3 Rounds of 60 minutes each. 30 minutes between rounds.


*Heat of the Battle Format: There are no designated starting zones in this style. At the start of the game each player rolls to determine order of unit placement, the highest roll places first and from that point each player alternates placement. Placement of units is by full cards, either squads or heroes. No figure may be placed on a glyph or adjacent to an opposing player. Summoned figures (Airborne Elite & Retchets) are placed as normal and normal size restrictions limit figure count to 27 hexes. Once each player is done placing units the game begins as normal.

In a break from our normal prize selection methods – we will have separate prize tables and selections for each division because of the dramatically different set up of the two divisions.

Scoring for the open division will continue to be fractional scoring as we have in the past, for the youth division we will go with Swiss (save the younger ones a bit of math work)....3 for a win, 2 for a draw & 1 for a loss. With the added time after the last youth bracket game they can have a tie breaker game if needed.

I will post some of the maps this coming week, more or less depending on the number of sign ups. Glyphs will be our standard fare. (Attack +1, Common Attack, Unique Attack, Defense +1, Defense +2, Lodin, Initiative, Pit Traps & Move +2) Any map suggestions are welcome. Please note whether open or youth division.

Louisa and I are in! 27 hexes now? Looks like someone needed more room for their Marrden Hounds....

[majestic goat]

How are you doing scoring for the event(s)?

[quozl]

Are you going to be there, Mr. Majestic? We should play some practice games.

[Bahde]

Scoring updated.

No, I wasn't thinking about the hounds....I learned a tough lesson with them in Kelso. I am more inclined to go with Monks or Zombies but then again I am a bit of a glutton for punishment.

Yeah Majestic....is that a sign up?

[quozl]

Whoa! I just noticed that the points went up from 495 to 550 too! I'll need to re-figure out my army now.

Also, is Marvel allowed?

I'd like to see maps with spread out glyphs and height so the inital placement doesn't take all the good spots on the map.

I found out this morning I have to work that day! Maybe I'll come by when I get off and catch the final standings...I can't believe I'm gonna miss this...

Although...I am still up for some practice games!

[Nomad]

Nomad and son won't be able to make it - sadly.

[Bahde]

No problem Nomad, we will have more later too.

Also folks, some of you may have heard now already but we had a small disaster here at home this past week so while the clean up crews and contractors are here....we will be gone. I will check in regularly but if I don't respond immediately please give me some time. Thank you.

[yagyuninja]

Oh no! Hope things work out for the best, Bahde!

[quozl]

Hope things go smoothly at your house!

Do you need help setting things up for the tournament? I can arrive early.
