Time keeping
The timetable is based on 2 hour 30 minutes per match which equates to just over 4 minutes per turn for 32 turns (i.e. 8 turns per player per half). No overtime is played. It is up to both coaches to ensure that games are completed within the allocated time. The Tournament Organisers have the right to end matches as they stand if the matches are not finished within the allocated time.
Any coach found to be deliberately stalling for time to run-out a match can be penalised with a points deduction at the discretion of the Tournament Organisers.
Rule Queries
If at any stage you are faced with a situation that can’t be solved between the two coaches and by reference to this Info pack, speak to a Tournament Organiser (TO). The TO’s decision is final.

What to Bring with You
Team Rosters: 2 copies of your roster, printed (on paper) so you team can be checked at Registration and your opponent can refer to your roster, if required.
Models: Teams should be painted to a “decent” 3 colour minimum standard, based and clearly numbered (preference is for the numbers to be on the front and back of the base but not compulsory).
Unpainted teams may be cursed by Nuffle, for not paying him due honour and respect.
ANY COACH WHO TURNS UP WITH AN UNPAINTED TEAM, WHICH DOESN’T MEET THE “DECENT" 3 COLOUR MINIMUM STANDARD, WILL GIVE YOUR OPPONENT A FREE ROLL ON THE NUFFLE TABLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME AT THE PRAYERS TO NUFFLE STAGE.
Teams are also required to be clear representations of the races they purport to be (not necessarily GW) with clear differences between positionals. Skill rings or bands should be used to show additional skills and these can be quickly explained to your opponent during setup.
Positionals should be recognisable and representative. If you are unsure, please check in advance with the Tournament Organisers.
Dice: Blocking dice x 3, D6 x 2, D8 x 1 & a D16 x 1.
If you are using non GW or NAF dice and they are difficult to read or the symbols on the dice are less than obvious at portraying what results they are supposed to be representing, you will need to bring a standard set with you as well.
Also, you must be prepared to share your dice with your opponent, if asked.
This is a requirement of entry, payment indicates agreement.
Pitches etc. A pitch, throw in template, scatter template, range ruler and dugouts. The TO does have some spare pitches, but not enough for all the games and players are expected to bring their own.
Venue
The Tournament is being run by at Ashton & Mouldsworth village hall, Church Rd, Chester CH3 8BG |
