Each player who attends the two day will use their Arsenal from the campaign, as well as any left over scrip. Each player will be given 10 scrip to hire models before the event starts. They may spend any amount of this scrip, or keep it for hiring on Sunday. They may use their left over scrip to buy upgrades, or hold onto it.

Each day will have an event from the Shifting Loyalties book. All Schemes and Strategies will be drawn from the Gaining Grounds 2017 set, and will be announced 1 week before the event.

Initial pairings will use players over-all records from the campaign.

Each round will consist of ten minutes for pairings and set up, 1 hour and 40 minutes for games and 10 minutes for aftermath. Players will be able to begin playing as soon as they set up, and do not have to wait until the full ten minutes have passed. Tournament organizer will call "30 minutes left", last turn after 85 minutes, and last activation at 95 minutes, after which players will tally VP as though the turn and game had both ended.

Players will perform the aftermath steps, and then report W/L/T, VP and differential to the TO. Players will not have access to the Cut 'Em Up for Parts, or the Good Doctor rules during the event.

Three rounds will be played Saturday, and two Sunday, with winners determined by Tournament points, as described in the Gaining Grounds 2017 document. Players will be able to use any remaining scrip to hire models before play resumes on Sunday.

Players may earn extra scrip for this event by playing against folks in their local group who still need games to get to their ten total games. The player who has already played their 10 games does not get scrip from the weekly event, for playing special scenario or from any other source, does not have to flip for Finished Off, accumulate injuries or make Barter flips, or other wise take part in the Aftermath step. The only exception is if they finish a bounty in which case they generate a aftermath hand and flip on the reward table. If a player who has reached their game cap plays someone who hasn't they earn 2 scrip which carries over into the two day event. This should only happen if their are no other players who have not reached their cap available.
