Tournament Rules

Crew Construction: Single Faction

At the start of the Tournament, each player commits to a specific Faction, then follows the normal hiring restrictions for each round. No pool size restriction.

Crew size will be 50SS, and there will be no pool restrictions.

Round Time Limit

Each round will last for 120 minutes. This Includes a 10 minute setup period during which players go through the Encounter Setup with their opponents, such as determining Strategies, Schemes, and Hiring their Crews. 

15 minutes before the end of the allotted time, the TO calls “Last Turn”. This means that the players finish the current turn they are on, and then count their VPs.

Deployment Type

Standard Deployment will be used for all games.

Strategy Selection 

Fixed Shared Strategy Tournament

Each round, the TO announces the Shared Strategy to be used by the players. The TO picks a different Shared Strategy each round. The Scheme pool will also be pre-selected. This means all players are playing the same missions, with the same potential vps in each round.

Scheme Usage

Each round, the player has the option to use Schemes to help achieve Victory. The Scheme pool will be randomly selected in advance.

Terrain Setup

Terrain will be placed in advance by the TO and must not be moved by the players.

Proxy, Conversion, and Painting Rules

Proxies are allowed as long as they are appropriate representations of the model they stand for. Printed-out Stat Cards may be used; players must have the official up-to-date versions for the event. Models from the Puppet Wars game may be used if on appropriate bases.

Conversions are an excellent way to show off your modelling skills and are allowed as long as they are appropriate representations of the model they stand for. If there is any doubt, you should bring a copy of the official miniature to use in case it is ruled that the model may not be used or contact the TO ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

Models must be assembled (glued) and fixed to the appropriate size base. The models do not have to be painted. However, there will be Awards for the best painted models.

The Tournament Organiser

The Tournament Organiser, or TO, is the sole authority at Malifaux tournaments. TOs are expected to be fair and equitable in their adjudication of any debates or rules questions. If a query with the rules is brought to the attention of the TO, he will listen to both players interpretations, then look at both sides cards, and the rulebook, and then make a judgement. If he feels there is a case for it he will ask for a flip. Regardless of the outcome, a TO’s ruling/decision is final. Players are encouraged to work out simple rules debates or discussions themselves as the round clock does not stop while the TO answers any questions.

Sportsmanship

The objective of any tournament is for everyone to have a good time. As such, players are expected to behave in a civil and respectful manner to one another at all times. Players should provide any legitimate information their opponents ask for during an Encounter, play their activations in a timely manner, allow opponents to cut their Decks, and generally treat each opponent as they themselves would like to be treated during the tournament.

The Warning System

Players are given a single warning when their behaviour toward other players or the TO is considered unacceptable. If the behaviour persists, and the TO determines the player to be a disruption to the tournament, it is within the TO’s authority to disqualify the player from the tournament. Don’t be that player.

Cheating

There is a zero tolerance for cheating (other than Cheating Fate, which is, of course, completely acceptable). Players caught cheating by the TO will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

Byes and Scoring Byes

If there are an odd number of players in any event, and there are no ringers to play against them, the TO will have to establish Byes for the event. No player will get a bye round more than once.

First Round Bye: The last player to arrive at the tournament gets the bye.

Second Round and later Byes: Each round, pick the player with the lowest TP Total to get the Bye if they did not already receive a Bye. 

How to Track Scores

At the end of each Encounter, players tally up the VP that they earned that round. The player that earned more VP than his or her opponent wins the game and the opponent loses the game. In case of the same VP count, the game is a Draw. Players will also need to report their VP diff and their VP score, as these will be used in the case of any draws [VP differ first, then VP score]

Tournament Points [TP]: A Win awards 3 TP to the winner, a Draw awards 2 TP to each player, and a Loss awards 1 TP to the defeated player. Eg. Bill and Ben played a game, and Bill scored 6 VP while Ben scored 4 VP. Bill receives 3 TP, while Ben receives 1 TP.

Victory Points Difference [VP diff] This is the difference between a players Victory points and His Opponents. To calculate the Victory point difference a player simply minuses his opponents score from his own. For example if Bill scores 6 VP and Ben scores 4 VP then Bills VP diff would be 2 [6-4] whilst Bens score would be -2 [4-6]

Victory Points [VP]: This is the amount of points each player earned. Using the example above, Bill would have 6 VP while Ben would have 4 VP.

Combining the above statistics, at the end of round one, Bill has a score of 3TP/6VP, while Ben has a score of 1TP//4VP.

Forfeits and Conceded Games

If a player forfeits or concedes a game due to any reason, the opposing player picks up a full score of 3TP/10VP for the round, with the forfeiting player receiving 0TP/0VP for the round.

Pairings and Scoring Format

The first round pairings are random. After the first round, the TO pairs up players based on their TP scores. Players will always play other players with similar TP scores. After round one, players with higher TP should be paired off against one another, while players with lower TP should be paired off against one another. This continues for the established number of rounds.

Determining a Winner

At the end of the tournament, all of the players will be ranked in descending order from highest TP to lowest TP. The player with the highest TP is the winner! In case of any ties in the TP, VP is the final tie-breaker, wherein the player with the higher VP wins the tie.

I've been in contact with TTN about Gunsmiths and they apparently have 12 tables for Malifaux, so that's 24 players before things get tight. I'm planning to throw a few boxes of terrain in the boot as back-up though.

 

I did try buying a ticket, but as the website wanted to add postage I gave up and haven't tried again. So will pay on the day, and try to get some improvements for Gunsmiths.
