DELTA ARMY BUILDER

Delta Classic:

Each player submits one army of up to 555 points, Delta Classic points. No VC, no Marvel. Standard 24 space startzone restrictions apply. Airborne Elite and Rechets of Bogdan count toward this hex limit.
Instead of the normal prices for cards, use the prices from this updated Delta price spreadsheet, listed above. Note that because VC is not allowed in this event, we are using the Delta Classic prices. Use the Delta Army Builder to workshop armies.

Maps:

Fossil - Wannok, Holdir*
Remains of Clionesia - Dagmar, Kelda
Stygian Rift - Lodin, Yngvild*
Platypus - Ulaniva, Yngvild*
Dry Season - Wannok, Valda
The Borogoves - Valda, Lorja Ivor*
Wingspan - Lodin, Lorja Ivor*

*Holdir - Heroic Attack +1, usable once each turn
*Yngvild - all your figures gain disengage
*Lorja Ivor - Range +1 for figures with range of at least 4

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. The single elimination playoffs will be played with (simplified) reverse draft:

Spoiler Alert!

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:

There is no attack or attacking power* used against an opponent, and
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.

Are monks worth 65 or 70?

They are 65 in the Delta army builder but say 70 in the sign up forum.

They're 65.

It looks like the sign-up sheet uses Delta-VC points for everything, which is incorrect. In Delta-VC, Monks are 70. But they're 65 in Delta-Classic.

Updated

My bad. That got screwed up when I ported it over. It has since been fixed.

~Dysole, informationally

Dysole · Aug 12, 2022

Whoops

In my attempt to fix one problem, I made another. It's an easy fix but I can't get to it until later tonight. I've told the other organizers how to fix it so if one of them gets to it first great but if not it should be corrected late tonight.

~Dysole, apologetically

I'm really wishing I had time to join up. I might find a way to work it out... I put an army together anyway. :shock:

Should be fully fixed now. Please let me know if you encounter any other issues.

I'm not sure whether I'm more afraid to face jcustar07 or jcustar09. The former has kept up with the game more over the years, but I'll never forget the time the latter looked at the backs of my OMs and announced to his teammates exactly what I had planned to do for each of my turns in the round.

You can do it!

(Aside - I remember when you two were active and people were joking about how the numbers referred to birth years not HS graduation years, and how humiliating it was to lose to a 5 year-old. Well, our last event was actually won by someone with a 2009 birth year.

Dice were HOT for me. The hounds had a bunch of really important defense rolls. The dice were not so accomadating for ogblaha...espcially Valgaurd. He got hit every time he was attacked, and I think he was only able to take out 1 hound. Anyways, thanks for the game ogblaha and good luck in your future games!

Re: OHS Season 49: Delta Classic - Round 1 through 8/29

After looking at these armies I'm still not convinced Raelin's points are high enough... Or that the lower tier figures are cheap enough yet. To be fair, it matters a lot more what the winning armies have at the end of the event than it does what people played with.

My grab-bag-of-heroes army would have been toast, I can tell you that, haha.
