Using an online voice chat utility, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, improves the playing experience considerably unless you're stuck in the stone age like Soundwarp.
Each player will submit two 600 point armies with a maximum of 48 figures each for the event. VC is allowed, also Marvel. The armies may not share any figures. Standard 24-hex startzone restrictions apply.
Reversal of Fortune
Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The loser of the dice-off chooses first army choice or second army choice.
The player who won the dice-off decides who places their (entire) army first.
For this event, all units' attack value will be their defense value and their defense value will be their attack value. In addition, skulls rolled will be treated as shields and shields rolled will be counted as skulls (for app purposes simply roll defense dice when you attack and attack dice when you defend)
In the event that players cannot find a time to schedule, a game dice off may happen. Each player will roll a D20 with their left hand and report the score to an official organizer. If the number matches the number he is thinking in his head, that player is the winner. Each player keeps rolling dice until they match the number in the organizers head. In the event that the Organizer has chosen a number larger than 20, both players lose.
The regular season will last four months, with one game each month. After the regular season ends there will be a single elimination bracket for the top finishers.
1-5 Brandar's Chest
6-10 Bolt of Witherwood
11-15 Holy Symbol of Pelor
16-20 Revenant's Tome
Trap: Figure dies instantly.
League 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 unless one of the two players is Kinseth in which case, the other player will win the diceoff.
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. Only dok will ever use these rules.
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 because this has totally been used in ages.
In the event that players cannot find a time to schedule, a game dice off may happen. Each player will roll a D20 with their left hand and report the score to an official organizer. If the number matches the number he is thinking in his head, that player is the winner. Each player keeps rolling dice until they match the number in the organizers head. In the event that the Organizer has chosen a number larger than 20, both players lose.
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 {Note Kinseth is grouped with the organizers who are significantly less active}) 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.
