Tourney Logistics

• • 4 round of Swiss style tournament to seed the semi finals (see below for details)
  • 450 point army (you chose a single army to play though the entire tourney)
  • No sideboard (your army must be versatile)
  • Maps will be 1-2 MS with expansions
  • There will be 6 different maps
  ... I’m using the Battlefields of Valhalla guidelines, except 450pt armies. (LINK)
  ... Options are shown below
  ... build and/or nominate other balanced maps
  ... potential maps must have build instructions so others can build and play them ahead of time if desired (gotta be fair)
  • Games will be limited to 50 minutes
  [list:e1badc14e2]11:30 - 12:20 Game 1
  12:20 - 1:00 Lunch
  1:00 - 1:50 Game 2
  2:00 - 2:50 Game 3
  3:00 - 3:50 Game 4
  4:00 - 4:50 Semi Finals
  5:00 - 5:50 Finals
  
  I'd like to play two games before lunch, but I don't think everyone will get there before 11:00 ... correct me if you think I'm wrong.
  
  I’m hoping to minimize the 10 minutes between games, but I’m gonna plan for it since I will be playing … no way am I sitting on the side lines

Swiss Style Tournaments
Warning Technical Details - pay no attention to the man behind the computer!

• • Match-ups for the first game will be randomly assigned
  • After 50 Minutes the player with the most points still on the map wins
  • Players score points for each Army Card with figures still on the battlefield. Score the full points listed on the Army Card, even if there is only one surviving Squad figure
  [list:e1badc14e2]~ Winners will be assigned 3 Tournament Points
  ~ Losers will be assigned 0 Tournament Points
  ~ In the event of a tie, both players will receive 1 Tournament Point
  ~ I will also keep a running total of remaining point differentials (your remaining army points – opponents remaining army points)

• Players with the same number of Tournament Points will be group into a bracket
• Players within a bracket will be ranked by remaining point differentials
• The top of a bracket will play the bottom of the bracket (in a 8 person bracket, player 1 will play player 5)
• In the event that a bracket has an odd number of people, the highest ranked person from a lower bracket will fill in.
• In the event that the tournament has an odd number of players, the lowest ranked player receives a bye, meaning he does not play that particular round but receives 3 Tournament Points as if he had won a game. He is reintroduced in the next round and will not receive another bye.
• After four games, the top four players will move into a single elimination play off
(I may use a Strength of Schedule system to determine 2nd through 4th places ... still thinking about it)
• Non finalists are at their leisure to mix up armies, deliver challenges, or drink their woes away[/list:u:e1badc14e2]
