This league is intended to provide casual yet competitive environment for both new and experience Malifaux players over multiple weeks using the newly finished 2nd edition stats and releases. The league will be open game sizes agreed upon with your opponent and leverage the new 2014 Gaining Grounds set strategies for the quarter. Players may switch masters and factions freely throughout the league, allowing them to sample a wide range of options as they gear up for Adepticon 2014. Games will not be required to be played at the store but the usual Wednesday night (5:30pm 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 but each opponent does not have to be participating in the league as long as the game played matches the strategy set for that round. The two players with the highest competitive scores will play off for the league finale on April 9th to determine the winner. We'll also have awards for achievements, painting, and most likely a hobby competition to wrap it up. Registration The league will have a one-time registration fee of $5 which will be used for prize support and terrain funds. You will receive your league record/achievement sheet once you have paid the registration fee.

Their best result for that week will be used to calculate their cumulative competition score. (Win = 3 TP, Lose = 0 TP, Draw = 1 TP, Fully Painted = +1 TP) At the end of the league, take the highest game from each round and add them together for each player. This is their competitive score. Rank all of the players in descending order from highest competitive score to lowest competitive score. The top two players with the highest competitive scores will play off for 1st and 2nd place. In case of any ties in the competitive score, the combined DIFF score of the selected TP games becomes the first tie-breaker. The player with the higher DIFF wins the tie. If this is also tied, VP is the final tie-breaker, wherein the player with the higher combined VP score of the selected TP games wins the tie. Achievement Scoring: At the end of the league, add up each player's achievement points from all of the games they played. This is their achievement score. Rank all of the players in descending order from highest achievement score to lowest. The player with the highest achievement score is the winner! In cases of any ties in achievement point total from the Painting Related category becomes the first tie-breaker. The player with the higher Painted Related achievement score wins the tie. In the case of a single player winning both categories, they will be assigned the Competitive Scoring Prize and the player with the next highest achievement score will win the Achievement Scoring Prize. Prizes Prizes for this tournament will be as follows, regardless of the number of players: - Competition Scoring: 1st place - 1st Pick of the Premium Items available - Achievement Scoring: 1st place - 2nd Pick of Premium Items available - Spoon Award: Last place gets a fancy spoon!
