| - The first months matchups for a season will be semi-random and will include an attempt to pair equal factions against each other. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| - Matchups for subsequent months will involve players playing the two players who are nearest to them in the table that they haven't yet played a game against that season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A) Basic rules: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1) Have fun. This league is mainly for fun and it is not intended as an uber competative league. If you want to chase the latest meta build and are looking for games like that then you might do better looking for tournemnets to take part in. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2) Try to win: Whilst fun is the main driving factor behind the league, this still a league. People you play will try their hardest to win. Don't be upset if someone says you can't take back a move or go back and do something you forgot in a previous phase. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3) Be prompt: Results must be submitted within 7 days of of the end of a season to be included. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4) Participants who are repeatedly the subject of disputed results, reports of 'slow play' or of being 'that guy' (rules layer, subtle cheating like picking up one to many dice or pick up put down movement creep, etc.) may be removed from the league and temporarily\permanently bared from taking part. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5) Removal from the league on either a temporary or permanent basis and/or any other sanctions are entirely at the discression of the league organisers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6) At no point and in no way are the organisers of this league responsible for anything that may happen to you whilst undertaking a league game, or that may arise from being a member of this league. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| B) Game play rules: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1) The rules listed below are the standard rules by which league games will be played. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2) If both you and you opponent agree in advance then you can ignore\change the game play rules for your game e.g. Appocolypse league game? Only have time for a 1k point game? Want to use Legends models? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3) If you want a variation in the rules but your opponent doesn't then respect their choice. They are under no obligation to agree. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4) Games will use the current 'Matched Play' rules from Games Workshop in place at the time of the game, this includes extra VP for having a fully 'Battle Ready ' painted army. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5) Games will have a points limit of 2k points. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6) Each match will use a predetermined deployment, mission rule and primary mission. These are listed next to each match-up on the first page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7) Matched play supplements, balance dataslates, rules in White Dwarf and new codex's are in effect from the day of release. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8) Games will take place using a 'good amount' of scenery, the more thematic the better and if in doubt add more. At a minimum there should be: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8a) Enough LOS blocking scenery in each deployment zone for both participants to hide the bulk of their forces on Turn 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8b) Sufficient LOS blocking and area terrain scenery between the two deployment zones so that a close combat army won't be overly disadvantaged when facing a gunline. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9) All complete ground floor doors and windows in all scenery will be treated as if they were filled in e.g. they block line of sight as if it were a solid wall. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10) Participants can only concede a game during their turn. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10a) Should a participant concede a game they are deemed to have lost the game and their oponent to have won the game, even if the conceding participant has more VP than their opponent. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10b) Both players VP's are totaled up to the point at which one conceeded, and then the non-conceding player is asumed to have also scored the maximum mission rule points available from that point, plus to have also completed any secondaries they have drawn and still hold. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11) If a game cannot be finnished in the alloted time then both players should talk through the remaining turns and attempt to estimate roughly how many VP's each could have scored. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12) If players cannot agree on an outcome from step 11 (game to close to call? could have gone either way?) then scores up the the point at which both players have had an equal number of turns should be calculated and used. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| C) League Scoring: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1) Players earn 1 league point for playing a game. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2) Players earn 1 additional league point for winning a game. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3) Players are ranked by the following in the order below: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| - League Points (more = better) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| - Victory Points (more = better) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| - Games Played (fewer = better) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4) Players can only score league points in the two games that have been generated for them by the league each month, or when playing one of their games from a previous month that couldn't happen at the time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
