• For this event, the tournament organizer will provide a unique draft pool for each game. The pool will
  consist of 1500-1600 points.
  Random Draft Creation Rules
  
  Spoiler Alert!

  
  -No unique cards will be listed more than once in the pool
  -Common squads will appear x4 (remember rule of 12 though)
  -There will be 0 or at least 2 common squads in each draft pool.
  -Uncommon heroes will appear x1
  -Common heroes will appear x6
  -Generation will stop once a pick places it within 1500-1600 point range. Common units will count 50% towards this accumulation.
  
• Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizer.
• The winner of the dice-off decides whether to "strike and pick second" or "pick first"
• If the winner chooses ‘pick first’ then the loser of the dice-off will ‘strike and pick second’
• Before any unit selections, the player who strikes and picks second may choose one army card in the draft pool and ban it from play in this game. (If an army card of a common unit is selected, ALL army cards for that unit are banned) The strike may be declined. Draft then proceeds as normal below
• The person who picks first chooses one card's worth of figures and places it. Players then alternate picking and placing one card per turn from the drafting pool.
• For each unique army card pick, you choose a single card's worth of figures and place it in your start zone (except if you draft Airborne/Rechets). If you wish to sit figures, that decision must be made at the time when you would place those figures (e.g. if you have a squad of 4 figures and placing all those figures would put you at the figure limit but you would have points left over, you may choose to place only some of those figures)
• For each common unit army card pick, you make take as many army cards of that type as you like (up to the max available). Each squad past the first one you select will use your subsequent draft pick(s).
  Examples
  
  Spoiler Alert!

  So if I am picking first and select 2 squads of Deepwyrm Drow, then I will have forfeited my 2nd pick.
  
  If I select Deepwyrm Drow x3 then my opponent will get the next 3 picks before I choose again (assuming they do not pick a multiple squad choice)
  
  Later in the draft if more of that same squad are available, either player can pick those up as well

• Players continue drafting until they pass or until they have no options within the 500 point, 18 figure limits. Once a player passes or has no placeable options, their draft ends, and the other player may continue drafting until they have no options remaining.
  *Airborne Elite and Rechets of Bogdan 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. 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.

-There will be 4 rounds (swiss style) lasting 2 weeks each.

-Each player with at least 3 wins will make a single elimination tournament with tiebreakers for seeding based on Strength of Schedule (Win total of opponents).
*Tournament Organizer reserves the right to allow a player with only 1 loss and at least 2 wins into the playoffs based on number of participants.

-Due to the nature of the draft pool changing every game, rematch avoidance for playoffs will not be considered. Rematches will be avoided during the regular season
