Each unit in the roster has to be represented by a miniature

required. Any conversions and alternative models are allowed, as
long as they can be properly distinguished and are not confusing
for the opponent. The decision if any alternative unit meets these
requirements lies at the discretion of the organizers. If you would
like to make sure beforehand that your alternative units will be
tournament legal, contact us at bloodfields@titan-forge.com.

The player must provide a miniature for all of their units,

including any units from outside of the roster that would be
deployed during the game with some skill effects. If the player
does not have a proper miniature to deploy this way, they cannot
do so by using a proxy, an empty base, etc.

Using unpainted models is allowed.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament will conclude after 3 Swiss Rounds. Each Swiss
Round pairs players in head-to-head games, attempting to
match players with the closest numbers of points together while
preventing players from playing the same opponent more than
once. For the first round, players are matched randomly.

Round Time
Each Round will be played over the course of 2 hours. 15 minutes
before the round time ends, the organizers will announce so.
After this announcement, all players will be allowed to finish
the currently played round and should not begin the next round,
making it the last round. After that round is finished, if any player
believes that there is enough time to play out another round at
their table, they should contact the organizers, who will examine
the game state and decide if playing out another round is possible
in the remaining time and allowed.

Scoring
During each game, players will fill out the Score Sheet by putting
Small Points into proper brackets as outlined in the current
Scenario. After the game ends, 20 Large Points will be divided
among the players, depending on the difference in Small Points.

Small Point Difference Large Point Difference

0-29 10 - 10
30-59 11 - 9
60-89 12 - 8
90-119 13 - 7
120-149 14 - 6
150-179 15 - 5
180-209 16 - 4
210-239 17 - 3
240-269 18 - 2
270-299 19 - 1
300+ 20 - 0

Bloodbath
When a player destroys the last enemy unit, the game immediately
ends. That player adds 200 Small Points to their current score
before Large Point split.

Bye
When necessary, a player may be assigned a bye instead of being
paired against an opponent. That player receives 15 Large Points
and 150 Small Points for that game.

Tie Breakers
The main Tie-Breaker is the number of Large Points.
Tier 1 Tie-Breaker is the number of Large Points acquired by
opponents from every round.
Tier 2 Tie-Breaker is the number of Small Points.
