More maps are needed, so please let me know if you can bring any!


*Note that Bell's lets us use their space for free. We want to honor them for their benevolence towards us by giving them some business, hence the entrance fee and prizes.
**Note that we'll need help bringing maps. We don't have enough terrain between the two of us to set up more than 5 or 6 BoV's. We are open to balanced custom maps. If you want to bring a custom map, please PM me with a link to the build instructions and I'll check it out.

Spoiler Alert!

We do partial card scoring for the tournaments. The first criteria for placing is win/loss ratio. The second criteria is points. We do things simply for partial card scoring. If you win before the time limit, you earn the full 450 points. If you lose before the time limit, you earn the points you killed. If the game goes to time, the player who has earned more points wins, and both players earn only the points they killed.

Since sometimes we have an odd number of players, we've got to have a plan! If we have an odd number, in round 1, someone will take a bye. This can be taken voluntarily or, if no one wants it, will be randomly chosen by D20 roll. A bye counts as a win on your scorecard, but no points.
