A win will be a victory by 300 points or more, unless a scenario changes the victory conditions. The objectives to complete will change from round to round; sheets will be handed out providing details on which objectives will earn bonus battle points. 9.

Sportsmanship will be the tie breaker. = Best Appearance is the highest Army Appearance points and the winner of the Player's Choice vote will get bonus points towards this award. Sportsmanship will be the tie breaker. = Other awards may be added 10. Composition scoring will be done prior to the tournament by independent judges. This is why it is key to get your list submitted by the due date. There will be an example list breaking down what scores certain types of army lists can expect to recieve. Obviously, this won't include every type of list, not even close, but it will give an idea as to what the judges mindset will be for scoring. There will be 2 brackets for the tournament, one for "friendlier" lists, and one for the more "hard" lists. You will play other armies in your bracket until a point where similar battle scores can not be found with your bracket, and then we will begin mixing between the two. At the minimum, the first 2 rounds will be paired this way.
