Please note I will be TO but not the Umpire, and will be participating in the tournament. If you are playing against me any rules queries can be referred to one of a group of players pointed out before the start of the first round.
Format: Kings of War 3rd Edition Rules up to and including any rules update to 1 August.
Points: 1250
Kings of War on a 4' x 4' surface.
To be clear we are not playing Ambush so regular rules apply.
If we need to adjust a scenario because of the size the board I will make this clear before each game.
The points level is set to encourage players new and existing to get into a tourney with the minimum amount of painting be it a new army or their very first KOW Army.
To encourage participation the Entry fee is free to NSWC Members and $5 for non-Members which will assist with hall hire.

Game Time and Victory Conditions
Game Sequence
The scenario for each game will be announced by the organiser at the start of each game and will be rolled for randomly- no mission will be repeated.
Rounds
The match-ups of the first round (Game 1) will be random. In the following rounds (Game 2 onwards) players will be paired using Tournament Points (TP), as explained below. Once players have completed their game in a given round they should jointly complete the result sheet provided and hand it into the tournament organisers as soon as possible so that the next rounds can be organised in time.
Tournament Points
After a game the points will be assigned as follows:
Result -- Tournament Points (TP)
Victory -- 15 TPs
Draw -- 10 TPs
Loss -- 5 TPs
Time out/Concede -- 0 TP (with no bonus for attrition score)
Attrition Points
This is the total number of points you have lost in each game.
Winning the Tournament
The winner is determined at the end of the last game according to the following criteria:
Sportsmanship
There are no sportsmanship scores at this tournament but there may be an award. We expect all games to be played in an enjoyable manner. We feel that all players should be fair and respectful to their opponent, displaying a fun and inclusive attitude to the game for themselves and their opponent.
Crowd at the Table
If one player feels discomfort with the amount of spectators present at his table, he may request them to step aside. Please respect the player's space if you're asked to do so.
Bye Round
If we have an odd number I will ask for volunteers for the first bye; they will receive the average winning score and the average winning Attrition score.
From the second round onwards the player lowest on Swiss Chess will have the bye round.
