Painting Requirements

Models should be fully painted and based. Non painted models are not permitted.

Proxies

Proxies are allowed for this event. Models however should be a clear representation of the model they are replacing, should not be an existing malifaux model to confuse opponents all proxies MUST be cleared with the TO before the event.

Round Allocation

Round 1 will be paired randomly, aiming to avoid club pairings. If there are club groups attending please ensure you inform us when paying to avoid any pairing issues. If you do not add your club during payment you may end up paired with a club mate.

After round 1, players will be paired with opponents with similar TP scores. For rounds 2 onwards players will be paired against opponents with similar TP, and VP differences.

Round timings

Each round will last for 1hr 45 minutes. Announcements will be made when there are 1hr remaining and 30 minutes remaining.

Fifteen minutes before the time limit “Last Turn” will be called to inform players that they should complete the Turn they are on. Players should make every effort to play this final turn completely. No new turn may be started after this call is made, even if the players feel that they could complete another turn.

If the players do not complete the current turn before the end of the rounds allocated time, “Last Activation” will be called to inform players to finish the current model's activation then and then resolve the Turn’s End Phase before the end of the Encounter.

Scoring

At the end of each round, players will record the outcome of their game and submit it to the TO. Players will score the overall outcome as well as the total Victory points scored.

Scoring will be as follows:

·         Win – 3 Tournament Points [TP]

·         Tie – 1 TP

·         Loss – 0 TP

In the event of a player conceding, they will score -3 TP for that round, award their opponent a win with maximum Victory Points [VP] and be ineligible for all trophies.

Position Tiebreakers will be determined by:

1.       Total TP

2.       Victory Point Difference (Total VP scored minus total VP scored by opponents)

3.       Total VP scored

Sportsmanship

Malifaux is designed to be fun for all players. Players are expected to behave civilly and respectfully at all times.

When asked, players should provide the information and statistics for models as well as any relevant additional public information. Players must be open and honest about the rules of their models. Activations should be played in a timely manner, players should not waste time.  

Warning System

Players are given a single warning when the TO judges their behaviour toward other players or the TO to be 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 zero tolerance for cheating (other than Cheating Fate, which is, of course, encouraged). If the TO determines that a player is cheating, the player will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

[Kogan Style]

Diary blocked! Looking forward to this one again

[Dumb Luck]

Take my dirty money!

[SurreyLee]

Count me interested.....for sure.

[wobbly_goggy]

Gertfaux 1 was a great event, and I strongly encourage everyone to sign up for this one!

I'm gutted I can't come over from Spain for it (unless you want to pay my airfare...or move it closer to Easter?  )

I'm sure it will be a hoot!

[Bucket Monkey]

Excellent. Should be able to make it this time round. 

[OldManMyke]

Almost certainly a yes from me

[MunkeyKungFu]

Rulespack should be out this week, but following the if it's not fixed don't break it rule it will be pretty much last year with more prizes :-D

[Insidiously Mad]

Never been to Bristol. Might make a weekend of it (depending on finances). Will mark it in schedule anyway

[Strangely Brown]

I would love to attend - I hope that I can get enough games of Malifaux in before the tournament so I don't embarass myself (or waste my opponent's time! :-S)

 

'Brown

[zFiend]

I don't embarass myself

You are playing Rezzers. You'll almost always rock out in a tophat with dead hookers, impossible.

[bertmac]

I may be there.

[MunkeyKungFu]

Initial Post updated with Rules

[Kogan Style]

1. PAID!!
2. Wave 3 models will not be getting an Arsenal deck, will we be able to use PDF print outs, or is Wave 3 essentially banned?

[MunkeyKungFu]

Urgh really. Let me look into it mate

[SurreyLee]

Paid. 

[Zac]

Sign me up please. I'll send money when I get home. 

[Strangely Brown]

Just waiting on a response from my club mates to see how many places I'd like to book.

While I'm waiting, can I get some clarification on the 100SS pool vs. summoning models?  Can you only summon from the 100SS pool?  If I have only paid for one of a model in the 100SS pool, can I summon that model several times?

Apologies if this is common knowledge in the tournament circuit, I'm an unblemished Malifaux tournament virgin! ;-)

While I can't speak for the TO I believe last year summoning models did not count for the purposes of the Limited Pool. I played Molly and definitely summoned Drowned which I'd never hire.

[Zac]

Yep, last year they weren't in the pool.

I've just sent the money over, looking forward to this one. Do we get chilli again?

[SurreyLee]

Do we get chilli again?

I second this. Chili was good. 

[Bucket Monkey]

Paid. Will see my club mates to see if there's anyone who fancies going, as I could drive 4 more over. 

[Kutslo]

Just paid

[MunkeyKungFu]

I second this. Chili was good. 

No lunch this year, the venue has stopped doing food, does mean more trophies

[jonahmaul]

Payment just sent for myself, Jon McCarty (Bertmac) and Solomon Hill (flip_my_joker).  Double up those Team Scum members!  Another who will be paying soon and hopefully one more too depending on his work shifts.  South Wales taking over!
