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

Standard Draft

• For this event, each player will bring a pool of 700-750 points with no more than 30 figures . VC allowed, no Marvel. Pools will be combined and players will draft from the combined pool.
• Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers.
• 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). If you wish to sit figures, that decision must be made at the time when you would place those figures (e.g. if you have a squad of 4 figures and placing all those figures would put you at the figure limit but you would have points left over, you may choose to place only some of those figures)
• Players continue drafting until they pass or until they have no options within the 450 point, 18 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.
  
  If the placed figures in the army require more than 24 start zone spaces, place the minimum number of additional start zone tiles needed adjacent to the back of the start zone. All additional start zone tiles placed must be adjacent to standard start zone spaces, must be the same level as an adjacent standard start zone space (use grass or ice), and cannot be placed adjacent to a space that is not in the start zone. If there is a dispute in adding tiles, contact an organizer.

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.​

I don’t know half of these maps…could you post links or images for them?

 

[Chris Perkins]

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft

To clarify, we draft from a combined pool, right? Not just from our own personal pool?

 

[Dysole]

Good Catches

I don’t know half of these maps…could you post links or images for them?

Those should be going up soon. I believe superfrog is working on that.

Those are correct, but we will use treasure glyphs.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft. Signups Until 06/18/23

Haven't posted on heroscapers in ~10 months.
Haven't played in one of these online tourneys in a year and a half.
Haven't created a heroscapers account in 10 years (okay, I'm one day off).

We'll see how this goes.

 

[Sir Heroscape]

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft. Signups Until 06/18/23

submitted...interested to see how this goes.

Re: OHS Season 52: Draft. Signups Until 06/18/23

The OHS Season 52 Builder on Heroscape.org states that the tournament is full. Newbie here - sorry if I am missing something. Seems the google form is still taking submissions though.

What Is Happening

The OHS Season 52 Builder on Heroscape.org states that the tournament is full. Newbie here - sorry if I am missing something. Seems the google form is still taking submissions though.

Builder exists to help build armies. Because we are not running it through heroscape.org however, I've turned off the ability to sign up on there hence it showing it closed. Submissions are done through the google form. Thanks.
