Using an online voice chat utility, such as Discord, improves the playing experience considerably.

Multi Format Draft

• For this event, each player will bring a pool of 900-1000 points and 25 figures. VC allowed, no Marvel.
  
• Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers.
  
• The two players' draft pools are combined into a single pool. One copy of each duplicate unique will be discarded if necessary.
  
• The winner of the dice-off chooses whether to pick and place first or second.
  
• The person who picks first chooses one card's worth of figures and places it. Players then alternate picking and placing two cards per turn from the drafting pool.
  
• For each pick, you choose a single card's worth of figures and place it in your start zone (except if you draft Airborne/Rechets/Bound Heroes).
  
• Players continue drafting until they pass or until they have no options within the 550 point, 14 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, Rechets of Bogdan, and Bound Heroes of the Acolytes of Vorganund count towards the figure limit.
  

Placement rules for rounds other than Hot Draft:

• You do not need to place as you draft.
  
• You may draft as long as you are under the points limit.
  
• All decisions to meet figure/space limits are made at the time of placing the army.
  

Placement rules for Hot Draft rounds:

• Place figures as you draft, as the rules of the format specify.
  
• Once you reach the figure limit you cannot draft any additional units.
  
• You must place at least one figure from any card you draft.
  

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. Each round will be one of the following four formats, in a random order:

Treasure Quest:

• There will be five Treasure Glyphs on the map. The game ends immediately when the last glyph is revealed. Whoever is in possession of the most glyphs at that point wins. If it is tied, the game ends as soon as the tie is broken. Alternately, you can win by destroying all of your opponent's figures.
  
  Maps for this format: Turmoil, Mount Tenebris
  

Hot Draft:

• Instead of placing figures in your starting zone, place them anywhere on the battlefield (unless you draft Airborne/Rechets/Bound Heroes). All squad figures placed that turn must be within 3 clear sight spaces of each other and figures may not be placed on glyphs or adjacent to opponent's figures.
  
• Players continue drafting until they pass or until they have no options within the 550 point, 14 figure limits. There is no 24-space limit for this round. 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.
  
• The player who lost the dice-off decides which player automatically wins opening initiative. This decision is made after armies are placed and before Order Markers are placed.
  
  Maps for this format: Guts (Dagmar, Yngvild), Nightblood (Valda, Yngvild)
  

Control Spaces:

• 2 spaces on the board will be designated as Control Spaces.
  
• At the end of each round, you get one Victory Point (VP) for each unengaged figure you have on a Control Space. You can only gain one victory point each round from figures that come from the same (named) common card.
  
• The first player to have 5 VPs (and more VPs than their opponent) wins. Alternatively, you can win by destroying all of your opponent's figures.
  
  Maps for this format: Jungle Maze (Holdir, Dagmar), Arboretum (Lorja Ivor, Zawit)
  

Fog of War:

• All attacks and special powers that require line of sight or clear sight have their range cut in half, rounded up.
  
  Maps for this format: Dry Season (Valda, Wannok), Aeon (Wannok, Ulaniva)
  

TG Pool:

Spoiler Alert!

Pool:

Heroic Rune (Attack +1)

Ring of Protection (+3 defense, temporary)

Brooch of Shielding (Disengage)

Belt of Giant Strength (+2 melee attack, temporary)

Glyph of Searing Amulet (unblockable wounds against adjacent)

Trap: Roll one unblockable attack die against every figure standing on or carrying a glyph.

Power glyphs will be placed, power side up, on maps before the game begins.

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.

Event Details and Rules:

Spoiler Alert!

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 20 minutes less game time than their opponent according to the app AND
  
• At least 60 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 note the current time gap in the chat window and warn their opponent that they are approaching the timed game finish. After that point, if the time gap between the two players increases by another 10 minutes beyond the noted gap, 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 40 minutes less game time than their opponent, the player who has taken less time than their opponent may note the current time gap in the chat window and warn their opponent that they are approaching the slow play forfeit. After that point, if the time gap between the two players increases by another 20 minutes beyond the noted gap, then 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.
  

​

Stalemate Rule

At the end of any round after the fourth round of the game, a player may activate the stalemate countdown by informing their opponent in the chat window. After that call, if three or more consecutive rounds pass where:

1. There is no attack or attacking power* used against an opponent, and
   
2. Each player wins initiative at least once,
   

Then the game is over and the winner is determined by partial card scoring.

Note: If a wound is healed (and/or a destroyed figure is returned to the battlefield) then the attack or power that inflicted the wound (and/or destroyed the figure) does not count for the purposes of avoiding a stalemate.

* "attacking powers" are defined as any special power on an army card or glyph that inflicts wounds, destroys figures, or takes permanent control of figures.​

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 notify the organizers of the situation. Also notify the organizers if you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week.

If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players may 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 (Dysole, kevindola, dok, vegietarian18, and superfrog) 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 Dysole, kevindola, dok, vegietarian18, and superfrog. 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.​

Hot Draft says 500/18 while the overall section says 550/14 - is this an intentional change only for Hot Draft, or a typo?

[superfrog]

Beakface Rogue and Beakface Sneaks are two different units

Did you intend to submit Sneaks?

 

[Dysole]

Doesn't move you over the limit and OHS Organizers agreed to swap them out.

Did you intend to submit Sneaks?

Yes, woops. Thanks gang

 

[Dysole]

Had some questions asked on the Discord and I'll repeat them here.

For ever format except Hot Draft, you will draft first and then place.

If at ANY POINT during the draft you hit the figure limit you are done drafting. You are allowed to announce you're sitting figures prior to this point to allow you to continue drafting. Thanks.

EDIT: There's some internal discussion. This might change.

Sir Heroscape and I did battle last night. Draft went as follows.

Dysole    Sir Heroscape
Raelin
          Mimring
          Krug
Chasers
Chasers
          AGs
          AGs
Chasers
MBS
          AGs
          ITB
Calibrax
M.A.R.S.
          Swog
          Onshu
Pel

Game started off with me rushing and then bringing up Raelin. Mimsy and the AGs managed to knock off a whole squad in the opening round, but bringing up Pel and MBS I was able to start picking off AGs (I think Pel's 1/6 on one was the only one that didn't go through). Mimsy ended up taking two wounds from disengages, and two more from MBS shots. Mimring also put two wounds on MBS. A very key exchange happened though when I charged down into the start zone and dropped Sir Heroscape down to a single AG. After that, he started spreading out OMs on his heroes. Onshu attempted multiple kills on Chasers with his SA and failed to connect but did succeed on killing one with a normal attack. Pel proceeded to do work though. He finished off Onshu and Mimring allowing the last Chaser to get height and deal 2 wounds to Krug and dealt 3 himself. The big one was holding out against Krug attacks so by the time Krug moved to the center and went for a Treasure glyph, he had 6 wounds (one from a disengage from the last Chaser). He killed MBS but Calibrax moved into a position where Krug couldn't engage and finished him off. Cal did decent into the Ice Troll and nearly killed him but took two wounds in the process and I had moved my OMs elsewhere allowing the Troll to heal twice more so I moved up M.A.R.S. and a 3/4 up with an 0/3 on a 3 life Troll and Sir H conceded with an AG and a Swog in his start zone while I had a developed into the center of the board with a 2 life Calibrax, and full life M.A.R.S. and Raelin.

~Dysole, back in draft mode

 

[I Hate Atlaga]

Great game to kick this season off with Earthling.

Draft:

Earthling       IHA

Cyprien

                   Master of the Hunt

                   Exiles of the Sundered Sea

Eltahale

Phantoms x1

                   Sgt. Drake [AoA]

                   Siiv

Axegrinders x2

                   Anubians x2

I was ready to concede after seeing the dice-off - Cyprien is scary in treasure quest, and I didn't feel there were any great options to stop him.

I led MotH, because leading anyone else could mean Cyp grabs 3x treasures round 1, the rest by OM2R2, and that'd be that. Earthling made what was probably a good call and led axegrinders instead, hoping to tie up MotH and make the Cyprien play even safer. I grabbed one treasure with MotH, and traded a wound or two for a couple dwarves.

Round 2 the dwarves had run over a good chunk of my start zone, and with Cyprien lurking I figured my only chance was to run for the glyphs. AoA Drake made a break for it on my OM3R2, and thankfully I got the init switch to allow him to grab the bottom 2 glyphs unbothered. I used the Ring of Protection to survive a blow from the lone dwarf left behind. Earthling used that time to decimate my squads, which gave me a shot. If MotH had gotten tied up/killed, Cyprien could have easily grabbed the two remaining glyphs and/or killed Drake for the win.

OM3 I sent MotH towards the remaining glyphs, and Earthling started to block them/ tie up MotH with his PKs. I was able to grab one more glyph, but lost the crucial next initiative, allowing Cyprien to kill MotH with a couple nice Touches. At the beginning of round 4? 5?, Cyprien was sitting on the last unrevealed glyph, Drake was holding one, and one was sitting on MotH's corpse. I won init, and went for a grabble grab to pull Cyprien off the glyph. Had I got it, Siiv would have been able to claim the last glyph and the win (barring a dwarf attack or two and the trap).

Unfortunately, I missed my third straight grapple grab, and the dwarves and PKs finished off Drake and Siiv while Cyprien sat on the glyph.

Fun game, and super close. I was glad for the chance to try out AoA Drake, and I think he's solid - grapple grab can be huge, assuming you can hit the 8.

I felt I played well, but Cyprien ultimately couldn't be stopped. I think had Earthling focused MotH a little earlier with the dwarves, and then pulled Cyp out, it wouldn't have been close. Solidifies my opinion that I prefer draft formats that include a strike - this felt like a dice-off loss, a little.

Congrats to Earthling and looking forward to the next round!

 

[dok]

Just finished with cor7770. I drafted a hero pile of Skahen, Laglor, Heirloom, Rygarn, Agent Nora, Eldgrim, and Kira. cor got Krav, Nakitas, Krug, Kaemon Awa, Cormin, and Otonashi.

The key sequence of the game was when I got a wound on Krug with Skahen to allow me to slide Laglor in front of her as a blocker. Krug was stuck smashing the Primadon, and then Skahen was able to flee with two treasures to the other end of the map. (And Laglor somehow tanked 2 attacks of 7 while only taking 2 wounds.)

In a normal kill 'em all it would have been still in doubt, but I won 4-1. Only Eldgrim and a few of the squad figures died.

 

[Dysole]

There is an In Season Army Builder if you want to play around with draft pool options.

~Dysole, informationally

 

[Swarm]

Quick summary of the Foudzing vs Swarm game:

Cyprien quickly grabbed the first 2 treasure glyphs, then we danced around for about one and half hours where Cyprien circled around the map, eventually slowly killing knights/Bears and his own skeletons so he would stay full life/only have a few wounds. A key moment was when Cyprien blocked a lot of attacks from the bears and then was able to kill two of them, rendering foudzing's OM less valuable. In the endgame, Cyprien took the fourth glyph, blocked a 5-skull attack from eltahale (only taking one wound) then flew away to grab the last glyph and win in an Exodia finish.

Ggs Foudz!

          Rygarn

Chasers

          Raiders

I didn't think I could get Chasers x3 and Nakitas and so was aiming for Calibrax until I realized I could. I would've probably drafted Nakitas and Nora and I think I'm in a better place there. Oh well, like a lot of things in this game I kept forgetting about abilities.

We traded Chasers and Raiders for a while with us having varying levels of success. He managed to drop my Chasers down just a bit faster and he got a good hit in on MBS and a Nakita that I allowed him to have. Viceron was a champ taking basically 7 wounds over the course of the game and killing several Raiders and Rygarn while nearly killing Nora. Unfortch he died to a 5 skull attack from Pel and then Nora 3/3ed the last Nakita.

Good game dok.

~Dysole, who forgot about Yngvild, the Chainsaw, and the ladders at several points in this game and those mistakes likely cost her as much as losing two key initiatives

 

[Grey Waves]

Foudzing and I will be having our EPIC GRUDGE MATCH tomorrow at 4pm AWST. Draft tbc.

Spoiler Alert!

For those who don't frequent the Heroscapers discord, Antoine and I have had numerous arguments over the last year about anything and everything to do with competitive scape, most of which remain unresolved. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that for every 1 topic that we agree on, there are probably 4 or 5 others that we don't. We've played once in a CCL event before, but this will be our first ever OHS match.

Well guess this doesn't matter when I go 6 kills vs 1 kill on havechs vs havechs action in the first round. I'm obviously much better at this game.

Eltahale still had a chance at the end facing 6havechs sentinsl and Kate, but she also did kinda poorly.

Well feeling sorry for this game Grey Waves you really got no break.see you tonight!

IHA and Dysole draft

IHA       Dysole
Pel
          Raiders
          Raiders
Gage
MotH
          Anubians
          Anubians
Chasers
MBS
          Eltahale
          Viceron
Chasers
Chasers

I deferred which may have been a mistake and then drafted Raiders after he took Pel figuring my best play was to grab 2x of one of his squads and I liked Raiders as a 2x more than I liked Chasers. He surprised me with Gage and MotH and I figured his last bunch of picks were going to be Chasers and MBS so I drafted the army I felt most likely to take that out.

We started off with me using Anubians and him going Chasers. He managed to hit an early Paralyzing Stare and got some good kills into my Anubians. I killed a few Chasers and got 3 wounds onto Pel but the wolves did not hold up as much as I had hoped. I was able to slot one next to MBS (only had 2 attack at the time so I opted to attack down) and then moved up Viceron because I needed to play risky since he was already leaping out ahead with Control Points (I think he had 2 or 3 to my 0). Viceron managed to Bloodstorm about 4-5 of the remaining Chasers and put two wounds on MBS. I then switched over to Raiders and got some very clutch charges and a very clutch 3/3 defense against a 3/4 attack from a Chaser. This allowed me to steal an Order Marker of his and then on the next round I dropped Master of the Hunt down to 1 life. He danced around with him for a bit and Gage even killed a Raider but they both died to Raider attacks right before I switched to Eltahale. I won with 2 Raiders, 1 life Viceron, and full life Eltahale down 3 VPs to 1.

Death chasers

Death chasers

I felt great coming out of this draft - I took Pel to give me flexibility with either Dreadguls or Chasers, and Dysole handed me chasers, which I felt were super strong on this map. I opted to deny Gage and take MotH, as I was scared of MotH vs my low def heroes.

I led Deathchasers, and grabbed the middle ground early. Dysole led Anubians, who struggled to make it to the centre vs. my entrenched chasers + MBS pinging from height. I jumped out to a 3-0 VP lead and wiped most of the Anubians without allowing many attacks, but made a crucial error (forgot the unengaged requirement for scoring) that allowed one of the last Anubians to deal 3 wounds to Pel unnecessarily.

Viceron advanced and did a ton of damage to my chasers and MBS, seemingly tanking everything. The turning point was round 3, when Dysole won initiative, had a great bloodstrom, survived everything with Viceron, and then rolled a berserker charge to get the raiders into the fray before I could pick them off. Another berserker charge later that round sniped my last chaser and stole an OM, which combined with another initiative loss allowed the raiders to nearly finish off all my heroes. Dysole won with a full life Eltahale, single raider, and 1-life Viceron, with VPs remaining at 3-0.

Felt like my approach was solid, but losing every initiative after round 1, the 2/2 on clutch berserker charges, and 17% defense dice proved insurmountable. GG to Dysole and good luck!
