Spring Fever 2013 Warhammer 40k Tournament – March 9th – Registration at 9am – 1st Round starts at 10am
PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE TOURNAMENT THROUGH THE TRIANGLE SIMULATION SOCIETY SPRING FEVER WEBPAGE:
http://www.trianglesimsociety.org/?page_id=27
INDICATE CLEARLY IN THE TEXT FIELD OF THE REGISTRATION FORM THAT YOU ARE ENTERING THE WARHAMMER 40K TOURNAMENT.
The tournament will be run using the 6th edition Warhammer 40k rules including the most recent FAQ documents.
The one exception to this is that we will be allowing Eldar Psykers to cast psychic powers whilst embarked in the same way as other psykers (they can cast powers targeted on themselves, the unit they are embarked with, or the transport they are embarked in).
Armies will be allowed from all current codexes, using the latest version of each codex and current FAQ’s.
Points limit for the army is 1850 points.
Allies and fortifications are allowed as part of the army, following the normal rules for these. The Fortress of Redemption and Skyshield Landing pad fortifications will not be allowed to be used in the event due to size of the pieces and placing limitations.
There is no painting requirement for models, but a prize for ‘Best Painted Army’ will be awarded based on the judges decision.
Tournament Victory Conditions
The tournament will be a 3-round tournament with a maximum of 24 players.
Primary determination for tournament victory will be highest total VP accumulated from the 3 games
Secondary determination (in the event of tied primary determination) for tournament victory will be win/loss rate.
Tertiary determination (in the event of tied primary and secondary determination) for tournament victory will be lowest total VP conceded from the 3 games.
Game Victory Conditions
Winning and losing each game is determined by which player scores the highest VP total in the game, with the exception that ‘tabling’ your opponent, or if your opponent concedes, provides a victory regardless of relative VP scores.
If your opponent has no models on the board at the end of any game turn you have ‘tabled’ your opponent and score a victory. You are allowed to complete your remaining turns for the game to accumulate as many VP as possible.
If an opponent concedes a game, all of his units are considered to have been destroyed and you are allowed to complete your remaining turns for the game to accumulate as many VP as possible.
NOTE: We strongly encourage all players to fight each game to the bitter end, even when victory is impossible. Maximizing your VP score and minimizing your opponent’s score should be your goal. Think “THIS IS SPAARRRTTTAAAA!!!!!!!” and go out fighting!
NOTE: Tabling your opponent or obtaining a concession on the game does NOT automatically confer maximum VP for the game.
