Tournament rules

This year the tournament is "triplette oriented", this means that you will always with your triplette against another triplette.

We will use the Living Rule Book 6 and the classic Ressurection rules.

Both referees and opponent must be able to check your roster at any time.
  • We have the following awards:

    Please check your results between each match, we do make mistakes sometimes.

    How are games drawn ?

    The tournament is swiss-style, with a first round drawn at random.

    Swiss-style means that, for each game, your current ranking tells which triplette will challenge your triplette and what are the games in the triplette match.

    Individual and triplette rankings

    Triplettes will be ordered by :

    1. Sum of triplette points ;
    2. Sum of individual points of the triplette;
    3. Sum of triplette points - except the triplette points gained against your triplette ;
    4. Net touchdown of the triplette ;
    5. Casualties made by the triplette.

    Coachs will be ordered by :

    1. Sum of individual points ;
    2. Sum of individual opponent points - except the individual points against you ;
    3. Net touchdown ;
    4. Casualties made.

    Triplette points

    To know how many triplette points you win for a triplette confrontation : add individual points of the three coachs of your triplettefor this confrontation, add individual points of the three coachs of the opponent triplette for this confrontation.

    Team construction

    Teams will be beginning teams with a treasury of 1,050,000 gp. The teams are allowed those present in the LRB6 (ie official teams) plus three new teams. These teams will be divided into three groups:

    Classic league experience rules are not applied for the tournament. This year you can choose four skills for four different players, a double for a fifth player before the first match (note his choice on your roster).

    Note that a player can receive one additional skill by this system. No accumulation is allowed.

    Miniatures

    All the miniatures used must clearly show the race and position of your players. This is to make things easy for you and your opponent. Please use painted miniatures if possible.

    Painting is strongly desired, as it makes live pictures of the event far more interesting.

    Apothecaries

    They are allowed !

    Stars and Wizards

    Stars are not allowed in team construction. They are allowed in handicap.

    Wizards are not allowed in team construction. They are allowed in handicap.

    Halfling Master Chef and Brides

    Halfling master chef can be hired in team construction or in handicap. It cost 100 000 gp for halfling teams and 300 000 gp for other teams .

    Bribes can be bought in team construction and in handicap. It cost 50 000 gp for goblin teams and 100 000 gp for other teams.

    Rules precisions

    If you have twelve players or more on the field after the kick-off : Your opponent choose the sent-off players and it is a turnover (just like he make a foul and he is spotted by the referee).

    If you have no players on the field during a drive, your opponent continue the drive.

    To keep control on the tournament timetable, organizers can impose a chess clock to be used.

    Triplette handicap

    Handicaps will be assigned by triplette. At the beginning of the tournament, you must form a triplette with two other coaches of the tournament.

    Triplette Bonus

    Triplettes consist of three teams in the group 3 can choose between a triplette reroll and a triplette apothecary bonus. The choice must be done at the beginning of the tournament.

    Triplettes without a team in group 1 have an triplette apothecary bonus.

    Triplette value

    At the beginning of the tournament, each triplette will be assigned a value by adding groups of races the triplette teams.

    For example, the triplette Skaveno - Skaven (group 1), Orco - Orc (group 1) and Gobelino - Goblin (group 3) will have a triplette value of 5 (1 +1 +3). The triplette Sylvania - Wood elf (group 1), Bilba - Halflings (group 3) and Vampirella - Vampire (group 3) will have a triplette value of 7 (1 +3 +3).

    Handicap budget

    Beginning of each round, the opposite triplettes compare their triplette value, Triplette with higher triplette value wins a handicap equal to the difference of triplette values multiplied by 100,000.

    For example, if the triplette Skaveno, Orco and Gobelino (triplette value: 5) faces the triplette Sylvania, Bilba and Vampirella (triplette value: 7). The triplette Sylvania, Bilba and Vampirella have a handicap of 200,000 gold coins ((7-5) * 100000).

    Handicap choice

    Once known handicap budget, the triplette will have 5 minutes to choose handicap (in card, champion, wizard ...). A team can not receive handicap if it faces a team from a group strictly greater than its group (1 < 2 < 3). But it can get if it faces a team from a group less than or equal its group.

    Using the example of the previous paragraph and if the matches are Skaveno vs Bilba, Orco vs Vampirella and Gobelino vs Sylvania, then Bilba and Vampirella will share 200,000 g.p for handicaps as Alice confronts a team of top group to his room. If matches were Skaveno vs Sylvania, Orco vs Bilba and Gobelino vs Vampirella, while Sylvania, Bilba and Vampirella could share 200 000 gp for handicaps.
