Every pound raised in the sale of tickets goes to the Salvation Army.

Race Tiers
This tournament is a tiered tournament. This places all of the races into tiers based on how competitive they are. The top tiers will gain less additional bonuses with the bottom tiers gaining more. This helps to try and level out the playing field, allowing all races to be competitive within the tournament.

Aside from the starting base skills you will receive additional SP you can use to add additional skills on players on your roster. Depending on what tier you are in depends on how many SP you get. This can be found above in the tier breakdown. There are a few restrictions and these are listed below.

Round Times
Each round will be 2 hours and 15 minutes. There will be a hard dice down. The TO will be shouting time remaining throughout the round. If a coach requests to use a chess clock then his opponent must accept the use. It is recommended that one is used at the start of the game to be fair. If a player has run out of time on his clock and his opponent still has time then the player who has run out of time is only allowed to stand up prone players on his turn. When the TO shouts dice down the game ends immediately and you must record your score as it is at that point.

The tournament will use the following scoring:
30pts for a win
15pts for a draw
5pts for a loss

There is free parking just up from the venue look for a place called Blanc Space on maps so please use this as the venue is in the middle of a residential area and we don’t want to upset the local residents.

There is a Spar convenience store, and a chip shop less than a 5 minute walk from the venue, a tesco petrol station with a larger selection of food and drink a 5 minute drive, and a KFC and McDonalds about a 10 minute drive from the venue so there are plenty of options for the 1 hour lunch break.
