This tournament will be a “Relaxed Tier” tournament.
Any game ending in a draw will be determined using the Final Salvo rule.
We will be doing Swiss rounds (number of rounds determined by amount of players) with no top cut.
We are limiting the event to 24 players.
We will be using Tabletop TO to run the event, and we request that you register your list beforehand. The link will be in the event page closer to the event date.
Should you not wish to register your list, please bring two copies of your squad. One for the TO and another for your opponent.
The tournament is an EXTENDED FORMAT tournament - Each player is required to bring two copies of their squads. (One copy for myself, the other for your opponent - Squad list on your portable device is acceptable for your opponent)
Squads must contain no more than 200 squad points and conform to all of the rules laid down in the core rulebook, rules reference 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.

COVID-19
With COVID-19 still a part of our day to day lives, we ask that players wear a mask when moving about the room, and before removing your mask at a table, please ask if your opponent is comfortable with that. Hand sanitiser will be available to each table and all participants are encouraged to use it.
Where possible minimise any contact with your opponents gaming pieces. We ask that all players please try to make sure you have everything with you that you would normally need to play your games.
If you do find that on the day or leading up to the event you have COVID-like symptoms please for the safety of all participants we ask that you not come to the event. We hope you can understand that we wish to keep everyone safe during these times.
