Is there a single location sorted list of all the usable figures with Delta points?

The autobuilder doesn't let me sort by wave.

Once you sign up for the event on heroscape.org, the army submission tool (which uses autoloads design) enforced the ban list, so it only displays valid figured with Delta points.

Edit: Here's a plain text list of the available cards + delta points in case that's helpful:

Can the armies include any of the same figures?

Pretty sure the answer is 'yes'.

From the Google Sign-up form: "Players can submit the same or different armies for each round."

So I think you could submit 4 entirely different armies, the same army 4 times, or anything in-between.

Two different teams running it. I'm running OST by myself, while OHS is the same old team. OST is 1 round every 2 weeks, so players can more easily play in both events at the same time if they wish. OST will also allow players to vote for what events they want to play in.

MegaSilver · Nov 15, 2022

Re: OST Season 1: Round 1 is Due 11-27-22

Event Details and Rules:

All messages to MegaSilver should be via Discord.

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 two weeks 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 or Discord, please notify MegaSilver of the situation via Discord. 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 (MegaSilver, 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 MegaSilver, 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.

We are starting now!

@XScape beat me pretty thoroughly. End of game he still had 3 Romans, Marcus with 1 wound, MBS with 1 wound, and a full life Krug. I played the game out to the end.

I cannot emphasize enough how terrible this map is for a tournament. I encourage other players to study it very carefully before starting their games. For height 5 figures (which is most squads) there is really only one way to get onto the high ground, and it is around the back and through a water tile. If you try to cross over to your opponent's side of the map in general, there is only one hex that allows height 5 figures to go from one side to the other. If the right-hand side opponent beats the left-hand side opponent to that hex, they will have height advantage against all melee assaults regardless of direction.

Whoever wins initiative on the first round will be able to completely cover the attack glyph island before their opponent has a chance to reach it, which will also guarantee height advantage against melee attackers.

Also beware if your opponent has Me-Burq-Sa; he can ignore all of this since his 8 move and 7 height allows him to safely go up and down the rocks (and cross the water spaces) with impunity.

XScape played the game quite well, making very few mistakes (less than me, I'm pretty sure), while it took me far too long to pick a course of action and really commit to it. In that time he was able to whittle down my forces. I think I was only able to make 4 attacks against Me-Burq-Sa all game, despite trying to get to him for the entirety. He did have some pretty hot Paralyzing Stare rolls, which made it easier for him to knock out a squad or so of knights and make pretty short work of my champions as well.

Good game XScape! And best of luck in the rest of the event.
