Food. The registration fee includes a warm lunch. Please note any strong allergies at the time of registration (and no less than 1 week before the event) so we can plan the menu accordingly.

Matches.
*Three matches; random pairings without repetition.
*First match will be "Pitched Battle".
*2nd and 3rd games will be random scenarios.
*Outcome of each game will be decided through standard Victory Points plus bonus points for breaking the opponents and achieving scenario objectives.
*Games will end when one player concedes, one army withdraws, whether by loss of general, reaching its break point, or when a player runs out of time (75min on chess clock, including deployment).

Tournament Scoring.
*Each match will provide a player one of the following, selecting the lower value in case of ambiguity:
*Major Victory = 3 Tournament Points (TPs) = one player has double the Victory Points of their opponent
*Standard Victory = 2 TPs = the difference in Victory Points is equal or greater than 100
*Tie = 1 TP = the difference in Victory Points is less than 100
*Loss = 0 TP = not enough Victory Points for a tie or victory.
