Specific tournament rules:
This tournament will involve five rounds. Each round will last 14 days. The battles will be Medium-
sized custom battles:
[olist]
Games are paired, so each matchup will be played both ways. Each player will be able to choose his
forces using the normal force selection system. In each round, all players will be playing on the same
randomly generated map for both games.
First round pairings will be selected randomly, subsequent rounds using the Swiss Chess system.
Nobody will play the same opponent in more than one round.
The scoring system is as follows:
- If a game runs to the turn limit, each side scores points equal to the enemy % routed at the turn limit. If the game times out, adjustments may be made, depending on how far the game has progressed and who took longer over their turns – see below.
- If one army breaks, the victorious player scores 60 points plus the difference between the enemy % routed and his own % routed. The loser scores points equal to the winner's % routed.

Byes:
If an odd number of players sign up for the tournament, one player will get a bye in each round. In
the first round this is random. In subsequent rounds it will be the player with the lowest score. The
score for a BYE is 75 points for each game.
Round times and timing out:
Each round will last 14 days.
Any battles that are not completed by the end of the round will be timed out. The player who has
had the game in his “My Turns” box the longest overall will be the one who is deemed to be timed
out. This will not normally incur any penalties, unless insufficient turns have been played: If the
timed-out player has played less than 18 turns, his score will be reduced proportionately, and his
opponent will be granted (100 - the timed out player's adjusted score) if this value exceeds his
current score. (This means he will get the full BYE score unless the timed out player's adjusted score is more than 25).
If the timed-out player has played less than 6 turns, he will not be included in the draw for the next
round. This is to prevent someone else’s enjoyment being spoiled by being drawn against someone
who has apparently dropped out of the tournament.
