The league will feature escalating game sizes with the Strategies announced well in advance to allow players to plan crew composition and schemes to use. The starting game size will be 25SS and must contain the models available in a starter box set. This will allow the majority of crews to be comprised of the box set with the option to add a totem, avatar, extra soul stones, or another low cost model. Once at the 30SS level normal crew hiring restrictions apply. The games will not be required to be played at the store but the usual Wednesday night (5:00pm to Close) and Saturday morning (10am to 1pm) times will be available for people to show up for pick-up games or arrange plans in advance. A Player must have their score card initialed by their opponent for their points to count. Registration The league will have a one-time registration fee of $5 which will be used for prize support and terrain funds.

Round 2: For the second round players must hire 14 Soulstones worth of models from their chosen leader's box set for a game. The remaining Soulstones may be used for hiring any models as per the normal hiring restrictions of the crew.
