-Check-in at 9:30am, first round starts at 10:00am

 -1.5 hour rounds. 3 Rounds total. A 1 hour lunch will be taken after round 1 completes

 -500pts, GW missions and half board(44x30) layouts. Missions TBD. Layouts will be adjusted for a half board.

 -Pairings are determined by wins > score.

 -Lists due by the day before at 9pm. Failure to do so without communication will result in 10pts deducted from your first round.

Terrain

-Pre placed. Every piece counts as a ruin (even crates or trees). First floors count as blocking line of sight. Recommend discussing terrain with your opponent pregame to make sure everything is clear.

Proxies and conversions

-Generally acceptable. Must be the right size and clear to your opponent. Example, don’t say that one model has a lascannon when the whole unit is modeled with bolters. Your opponent would have no way to distinguish. Please ask ahead of time if you have any doubt.

Odd numbers and byes
