Scenarios

The scenarios will be drawn from the Kings of War rulebook and will be announced at the start of each round. Game Time

Chess clocks will be in use with a time limit of 50 minutes per player per game. The clocks do not have to run during set-up, but must be run during player turns. If a player times out then all of their units are immediately routed and their opponent will receive an automatic win. Rules Dispute

If there is a dispute or rules query then clocks should be stopped while it is resolved. If players can’t agree then they can call the tournament organiser over to make a decision. The TO’s decision is final. Scoring

Players receive tournament points as listed below:

  • Win: 15 points
  • Draw: 10 points
  • Loss: 5 points

After this, their tournament points are adjusted according to the difference in the total value of enemy units routed (their attrition points):

Difference in value of enemy units routed (attrition points) Player with most attrition points adjusts their score by… Players with the least attrition points adjusts their score by…
5-495 +1 -1
500-995 +2 -2
1000-1495 +3 -3
1500-1995 +4 -4
2000 +5 -5

Additionally, players must also report their total attrition points, since these will be used as a tie breaker. Prizes

There will be a prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
