This is a 2014 End of Year Championship qualifying event.
Games are played using the online Heroscape interface. Links to how-to-play videos below:
Using an online voice chat utility, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, improves the playing experience considerably.
Half-Army Draft
Each player submits three 295-point half-armies. A maximum of 10 figures may be placed from each half-army. The half-armies may not share any figures. VC is allowed, no Marvel.
Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses first or second choice of half-army.
Whoever has first choice may choose any of the six half-armies (any of their three or any of their opponent's three). The other player then chooses two from the remaining five, and then the first player chooses a second from the remaining three.
After the armies have been selected, the player who lost the dice-off decides which player will place his army first.
When placing armies, standard 24-hex startzone restrictions apply and a player cannot place two of the same unique card.
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.
Prizes - Repaint from Soundwarp SG-1 and RotV terrain set
Violation (Ulanvia, Kelda, TG Pool x2) (Heavy Snow)
TG Pool:
Spoiler Alert!
Pool:
Heroic Rune (Attack +1)
Brooch of Shielding (Disengage)
Ring of Protection (+3 defense, temporary)
Belt of Giant Strength (+2 melee attack, temporary)
Trap: Roll one unblockable attack die against every figure standing on a glyph.
Event Details and Rules:
Spoiler Alert!
Power glyphs will be placed, power side up, on maps before the game begins.
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 30 minutes less game time than their opponent according to the app AND
At least 75 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 end the game on time. The game will then go to partial card scoring.
Additionally, if one player has taken 60 minutes less game time than their opponent, 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.
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 fill out the missing opponent report to notify the organizers of the situation.
If you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week, then please fill out the scheduling conflict report.
If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players will 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 (awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy, Kinseth, Typhon, Xorlof) 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 awesomeunleashed, Bengi, dok, Filthy the Clown, Kinseth, Typhon2222, and Xorlof. 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.

Are you guys trying to get around the Pod Draft copyright?
Heh. Contact our legal department.
Pod is a great shorthand, and I often use "pod" when discussing the format. But I prefer "half-army" as a description for someone coming upon the format for the first time. It's more descriptive.

Reason: I vastly prefer the term pod, but dok wanted to clarify it for those who may not be as familiar with the format.
I'm gonna be away from home from August 10 until August 20, approximatively. It means that, for the first round of the tournament, I'm gonna miss like 2-3 days... Would it be possible for me to contact one of the organizers so my opponent knows I won't be there until a couple of days ?

Thanks. :P
We have done this in the past, this should be fine.
Have you tried Hexscape? 3D Heroscape Multiplayer Battle program!
My 3 pods have a crazy symmetry to them that I didn't quite realize until they were completed.
I have one Wave 18 figure in each pod.
I have 8 squad figures and 2 heroes in each pod.
I have one large figure in each pod.
I have one melee hero and one non melee hero in each pod.
The three squads present are one each from SoV Classic and C3V.
Signed up, hopefully my pods will do ok, they're more thematically linked than anything crazy combo-y. Much easier to make crazy powerful combo pods in C3G than Classic.
I'll donate another round of repaint choices as prizes for this as well.
