This tournament will be a “Relaxed Tier” tournament.
Tournaments at this level are welcoming to all players, regardless of experience level.
Players are encouraged to help each other improve and learn, so long as it does not significantly disrupt the game. The focus is on creating a fun and friendly environment
The new FFG Tournament scoring system will be used.

loss 0 points
Any game ending in a draw will be determined using the new Final Salvo rule.
We will be doing Swiss rounds with the number of rounds determined by amount of players.
There will be no cut to top 4.
We are initially limiting the event to 24 players but if the demand is there we can go higher.
Each player is required to bring one copy of their squad.
Squads must contain no more than 100 squad points and conform to all of the rules laid down in the core rulebook, FAQ and tournament rules PDF.
Players will also require all tokens, templates and cards they will need during the day. Proxies are not allowed at the competitive level of play.
Either Damage deck maybe used, but it must be the same one for the whole tournament.
