One Umpire To Rule Them AllOne Umpire To Rule Them AllOne Umpire To Rule Them AllOne Umpire To Rule Them All....

There will only be one umpire for this tournament. If you really want an umpire to sort out a rules question, then you are free to call him over. However, only the umpire will answer rules questions, and all of the other organisers/judges will just redirect any rules questions to him. You should note that the prime duty of our organisers is to make sure that the majority of players in the campaign get a nice friendly game where winning is secondary to having a good time, persistent spoilers will be asked to desist or suffer a penalty

Rules of Engagement Warhammer 40000 6th Edition rules

will be used for this tournament as will

the latest FAQs from the Games

Workshop

With the exception of a few specific

articles and army lists (detailed under

Army Selection), none of the rules from

Chapter Approved articles will be in

force.

Arriving at Bracknell Forest Gamers, you will be asked to for a copy of your Army

Roster for the Judges to refer to. This

copy of your Army Roster must be

handed in during Registration. You will

also require a second copy of the Army

Roster, which you should keep with you

when you are playing. Players must use

the same Army Roster throughout the

course of the tournament. Any

alterations to an Army Roster once the

tournament has started will be

considered a Red Card offence.

Your Army Rosters must adhere to the

following:

• Be word-processed and clearly legible.

• Include your name, and where possible

army name

• Adhere to the criteria listed in the

“ARMY SELECTION” section.

• Clearly state the total value for each individual unit entry in your list and must specify which

miniatures carry any additional equipment or wargear.

ILLEGAL ARMY ROSTERS During the course of the tournament, the Judges will

check as many Army Rosters as possible. If any mistakes

are found, the results of all of the games in which the

player has used the illegal Army Roster will immediately

be changed to Massacres in favour of their opponents.

This will apply even if the

mistake was honest or minor, so

please double-check your Army

Roster before hand

It is impossible for the Judges

to check all of the Army Rosters

before Round One so if you

think your opponents have an

illegal Army Roster in Round

One, please notify the Judges as

soon as possible.

If you are discovered to be

using an illegal Army Roster,

you will be asked to amend the

Army Roster in the presence of

a Judge before the next Round.

Failure to amend an illegal

Army Roster or using it again in

later Rounds is considered a

Red Card offence.

Order of Battle

REGISTRATION All players must register on the

day of the tournament. During

Registration, the Judges will

take a copy of your Army

Roster and Army Background.

You will also need to inform

the Judges if you did not paint

your entire army, as this will

affect your inclusion in the Best

Army nomination system.

MORNING BRIEFING After Registration has been completed, the Judges will

commence a Morning Briefing during which

greetings, announcements and important information

relating to both the tournament and the use of the

facilities of the events hall will be made. .

WARNINGS Winds of War is intended to be a fun and enjoyable event. The prime duty of the Judges is to make sure that the majority of players in the tournament get a nice friendly game. The Judges will intervene in any argument that they see or are alerted to. If an incident occurs to warrant a Judges intervention then they have a simple warning system when dealing with incidents as follows:

Yellow Card

The Yellow Card is a warning. Recipient players will be asked to adjust their attitude. A Yellow Card is given to players who interfere in other games or breach a decision made by a Judge

Red Card

This Red Card is a final warning. Recipient players will be asked to adjust their attitude or suffer the consequences. Further Red Cards will result in expulsion from the tournament. A Red Card is given to players who receive a second Yellow Card, alter their Army Roster or attempt to use an illegal Army Roster when not

asked too by a Judge.

At present, Bracknell Forest Gamers have never expelled anyone from a

Tournament and hope never to have to.

The Judges reserve the right to remove

any players rather than have them spoil

the atmosphere of the Event.

Tips & Tricks: Tournament Survival Guide Tips & Tricks: Tournament Survival Guide Tips & Tricks: Tournament Survival Guide Tips & Tricks: Tournament Survival Guide For those of you who haven't been to a tournament before, here the are a few points that may make your day more enjoyable and run more smoothly Trays: Table space around a gaming table can get quite cluttered, a tray makes it a lot easier to shift your army from one table to another during the day, if its' themed it can even earn you bonus points Drink: Beside rolling dice the second most common activity on a gaming table is talking. Make sure you get plenty to drink through out the day Keep it moving: In the interest of making the day run smoothly, no one want to be hanging around waiting for the next victim… sorry opponent, where possible can you keep the game moving along Ask before you touch: Most people don't mind you admiring their models but please ask them before picking them up. Everybody puts a lot of effort into their armies and it is fairly devastating if something gets broken or goes missing during the day. Winning is the only thing: We all want to quash our enemies and march gloriously across the battle field, but until then please remember, it’s only a GAME, please give your opponent the courtesy you would wish shown to yourself
