[Loki]

Not sure how many this might effect but I understand that on Sunday 7th there will be no train services between Swindon and Bristol (bus replaceable services). Might be worth checking your travel arrangements for the Sunday if you are coming from the East by train.

Swiss format after random draw for the first match

New teams will start with 1,100 kgps with which to buy at least 11 standard players, after this stars (Tiers 2 & 3) and all other allowed inducements as described in the sanctioned rules (see 1st point) can be purchased.

For this Tournament Fan Factor is fixed to 5 Fan Factor (i.e. no more Fan Factor can be bought) and is not added to the team value

Before the first match teams can assign skills as described later

Stars (for Tier 2 & 3 teams) and coaching staff may be purchased as described in Games Workshop Rules (CRP and BB2016), Death Zones and Spike Magazine publications out prior to 1st June 2019 (Spike's 1-4) but only after at least 11 players from a team standard roster have been purchased.

No Wizards (including Horatio X. Schottenheim) or Cards are available as inducements.

Before the 1st game teams may allocate the number of skills listed below to their team, unless otherwise stated there is no stacking of skills (i.e. one additional skill per player).

Tier 1: All teams not mentioned as Tier 2/3 – 6 Standard skills
Tier 2: Chaos, Chaos Pact, High Elf, Human, Khemri, Khorne, Nurgle, Pro Elf, Slann, Underworld, Vampire – 6 Standard Skills, 1 Doubles Skill
Tier 3 (Stunty): Goblin, Halfling, Ogre, Lizards with no Saurus*, Underworld with no Skaven* - 6 Standard skills, 2 Doubles skills, non ‘Big Guys’ may take two skills of the allocation i.e. stack one skill, this could include both double rolls if desired.

• Standard skills are those available to a player on a normal result on non-double skill improvement roll.
• Doubles skills are those skills available to a player on a double result on a skill improvement roll. (May be used to give a standard skill)
• No stat increases
• Stars may not be given additional skills
• There is no limit to the number of times a particular skill may be taken.

* ’No saurus’s/skaven‘ does not include any stars which may play for the team e.g. Underworld Goblins may take Glart Smashrib Jr and still be considered ‘Stunty’

Scoring

The scoring system will be as follows:
• Win 2 points
• Draw 1 points
• Loss 0 points

Tie breakers after final results will be resolved by strength of schedule. For the Casualties for the Most Cas Award - only those Casualties which count for SPP's will be counted.


AOB

Oi, who are you?!!
If you are drawn against a team where both rosters contain the same star player both teams may use the same star, one is obviously an imposter and will be found out on the field of glory.

Rosters
Rosters should be submitted to the organiser at least a week prior to the tournament.

No Illegal Procedure
This is a fun and hopefully relaxed event, please kindly remind your opponent to move their turn counter.

Any questions just ask.

Cheers,
Dave


**EDIT**
With due regard to the worlds resources and a sensible sustainability agenda I have deliberately not asked for paper copies to be brought for this event. Personally I would probably always turn up with a paper copy but that is personal and I also think its inappropriate for the tournament to mandate paper being needed

BUT

There does still need to be a level of accountability for rosters so if you do not intend on bringing a paper copy of your roster can you please e-mail/PM me an e-copy here or to DavidJMuirhead@gmail.com by Saturday 29th June.

I won't be printing the e-copies so please do have something to let your opponent see your full roster before a game.
