Scenario Details:
Scenarios will be chosen out of the Matched Play Guide. Tables will be pre set up with terrain so no modifications to terrain will be allowed without the tournament organizer’s permission or after the first game begins.
Lists can be submitted via email to [email protected] or to the event roster on BCP on or before July 8th.
Scoring during the tournament will be per the Matched Play Guide. Tournament points : Win = 3 points, Draw =1 point, Loss = 0 points. Victory points must also be tracked during each game as this will be used for tie breakers.
Pairings and scores will be tracked via the Best Coast Pairings (BCP) app, having the app is not required to participate in this event.
List Restrictions:
All lists and Legendary Legions are allowed - except red alliances.
Banned models: Smaug, Goldberry and Tom Bombadil.
Proxy models are allowed as long as the base size requirements are met, and the model’s war gear matches the model they are a proxy for.
All models should be fully painted to a reasonable tournament standard (for example - basecoated, four additional colors and some sort of scenic basing such as sand, flock, snow effects, lava and cracked mud effects etc…). Please contact me in advance of the event if you have concerns, exceptions can be given at the TO’s discretion.
Players have the option to bring 1 or 2 lists. If a player chooses to bring 2 lists, 1 must be Evil and the other must be Good. Round 1, paired players will roll off to see who gets to pick which list they would prefer to start with, their opponent must play the opposite list to make a Good Vs Evil pairing if possible. Games 2-4, the higher tiered player will have the option to choose which list they want to play with. If a player is paired with another player who has only one list, the other player must play the opposite to their opponent to allow for a Good Vs Evil matchup. In the event that two players are matched up that both have only 1 list, they will play against one another with their lists regardless of if the armies are both aligned the same.
Further Notes:
If you have any interest in bringing terrain, paint judging, painting exemptions, being added to the waitlist, concerns regarding any particular model/proxy, or sponsoring/donating prizes please reach out to me at: [email protected]
