ROUND 1

Spoiler Alert!

ROUND 2

Spoiler Alert!

ROUND 3

Spoiler Alert!

ROUND 4

Spoiler Alert!

This is a 2014 End of Year Championship qualifying event.
Games are played using the online Heroscape interface. Links to how-to-play videos below:

Spoiler Alert!

Using an online voice chat utility, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, improves the playing experience considerably.

2014 GenCon Main Event Prep

Each player brings one 425-point army with no more than 16 figures*. No VC, no Marvel.
During the regular season you will play the army you bring. However, the playoffs will be Reverse The Whip -- you play with the army your opponent brought for each round in the playoffs.

*An army can contain more than 16 figures, but only 16 figures may be placed on the battlefield each game. Airborne Elite and Rechets of Bogdan count toward these limits, as usual. Double-spaced figures only count as a single figure. Extra hexes will be provided for players using more than 24 hexes.

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.

Prizes
First Prize - Repaint from Soundwarp SG-1 and RotV Terrain
RotV Terrain given out at the end of the tournament randomly to a player who has completed all 4 rounds of the event.

Maps:

Spoiler Alert!

Event 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.

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.

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.

If you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week, then please fill out the scheduling conflict report.

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) 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.

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

Note three things:

1. No VC, to align better with GenCon.

2. Sign-up form is now directly in the OP.

3. If you care about maps, you may want to wait until they're released to sign up.

I will be offering one RotV terrain set to one random person that completes all of their games!

Ixe · May 23, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

I'm all signed up with my army, "Ours is the Fury." It's comforting to know that I'll still have a chance at the terrain, even with that army.

Crixus33 · May 23, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

I'm half tempted just to bring Q9, Raelin, and rats so I can break even this season, we'll see.

you've had a tough run of it, for sure. Don't despair, things will come around for you.

CrazyTankster · May 23, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

I may need to get in on this one... We'll see how my schedule looks prior to the deadline and I'll decide then.

Soundwarp SG-1 · May 23, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

Huh, apparently I've already signed up for this. Now if only I could remember what my army was :lol:

Dysole · May 24, 2014

There's a Map For That

I'm gonna wait until I see maps to sign up. It'll probably be either something similar to last year or the other crazy army I came up with. We'll have to see. I've got time. ~_^

~Dysole, spitballing ideas

Arrow Grut · May 24, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

Signed up. My army is going to be close to last year's, no suprise there. And hey guys I'm ACTUALLY back now

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

Ok so this is my first reverse the whip, and it seems to me like you would just throw together the worst army you could, but that seems rather unsporting. Am I missing something here?

You want to build an army that strong enough to make it to the Playoffs, but also weak/odd enough for you to beat with an opponent's army.

In this format, you need to guess the online meta. ^_~

Kinseth · May 26, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

It is a difficult format, you have to make your army strong enough to go 3-1 to make the playoffs, but not so strong that you cannot beat it in the playoffs.

If you go 4-0, you are probably doing it wrong

flameslayer93 · May 26, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

Now that I have a tablet, I need to find a saturday to figure out google docs again. :lol:

If it works, I'm in. ^_^

ScapeRaider · May 26, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

If my record is any indication, 4-0 shouldn't be a problem I misread the OP and thought that entire thing was going to be Reverse the Whip.

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP

Prizes added.

First Prize - Ticalla Jungle Terrian**
*Door Prizes - RotV Terrain(2)
*Given out at the end of the tournament, randomly to lucky players who have completed all 4 rounds of the event.
**If we reach 50 contestants, if not then the Ticalla Jungle will be replaced with ROTV Terrian

Smithy Winfred · Jun 1, 2014

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP *WIN TICALLA JUNGLE*

Definitely gonna make this one, after finally getting a new computer, ready to re-enter the world of online HS. Need a while to design my army though, no VS was a big game changer for me, as most of my units for classic scape are VC. Super pumped, can't wait to start.

Re: Online Season 14 - GENCON PREP *WIN TICALLA JUNGLE*
