Rules:
This tournament will use the CRP with the following exceptions and/or amendments:
1. The Illegal Procedure rule will not be in use, nor is the 4 minute ‘timer’ rule. Please note that you may be given a certain amount of time to complete your game should you be running late at the discretion of the Tournament Director.

2. Coaches have 1,100,000 GP to create their starting team rosters. Team rosters must consist of at least 11 players as per the normal rules. Coaches may decide not to spend all of their money at the time of team creation – but there is absolutely no reason not to do so. Player improvements are not counted towards Team Value, so in effect Team Value is fixed at the starting 1,100,000 GP for all rosters. All four games will be played with exactly the same roster.

3. Star Player Points are in not use.

4. All casualties and/or deaths are healed between rounds. Stat decreases will not pass on to the next game.

5. Chaos Pact, Slann and Underworld teams are allowed. Alternate teams such as Khorne are not. The complete list of allowed teams are listed below.

Skill Selection:
The number of skills awarded will be determined by team race as shown here:

TIER 1: Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Lizardman, Norse, Orc, Skaven, Undead, Wood Elf
TIER 2: Chaos, Chaos Pact, Elf, High Elf, Human, Khemri, Necromantic, Nurgle, Slann
TIER 3: Halfling, Goblin, Ogre, Underworld, Vampire

Skills are awarded to each team as follows:
Tier 1: 4 Regular skills, maximum of one extra skill per player
Tier 2: 5 Regular skills, maximum of one extra skill per player
Tier 3: 5 Regular skills and one double skill (maximum of one extra skill per player). Team is also able to purchase Bribes, Halfling Chef, and Star Players.

ALL skills MUST be noted on the team roster which is submitted to the Tournament Referee at Registration.

Standings:
Teams will be ranked after each game using this point scale. Scores are recorded after each game on the Match Result Form using the list below.

Winning the match = 3 points
Tied match = 1 point
Losing the match = 0 points

If two or more teams have the same number of points, the following tie-breakers will be applied in this order:
• TD differential
• Most TD's scored
• Casualty differential
• Most Casualties caused
• Drawing of lots

Other Items of Interest:
All teams will be frozen (no skills may be added or changed) once the roster is submitted.

It would be extremely helpful if all models were painted. This will help your opponent (and yourself) realize what players have moved, which are prone, which are stunned, etc. It would also be extremely helpful to identify players that have added skills by using items such as color rubber bands, washers, etc.

You should bring at least three copies of your roster, give one to the Tournament Director at registration, one for your opponent, and keep the other for your own reference.

A team is allowed to have a Fan Factor of Zero (0).

Any players who are seriously wounded or killed during a match will be completely healed and ready to play for the next match.

Apothecaries can be purchased (for all teams except Undead, Khemri, Nurgle and Necro) for 50K. Apothecaries used to treat a Seriously Injured or Dead player automatically succeeds (no die roll needed) and the player will be placed in Reserves. If the Apothecary is used on a player who is KO’ed, the player will be stunned instead.
