CHANGES TO DEADZONE CORE RULES:
Neither player may use an Extra Activation Command Dice during their first turn of each round.
Stun Grenades are not allowed at this event. You may not take them as part of your Strike Team, and any Stun Grenades found in an item crate will be treated as regular Frag Grenades instead.
-----------------------------------------
CLOCKS
There is a 10 minute round allowance for saying hello, discussing lists, laying out objectives, and writing scorecards at the end.
Each player will have 40 minutes to make all their activations.
Time should be switched to your opponent at the completion of your activation (or activations if you use more than one consecutively).
On opposed dice rolls where you are the active player, if you are waiting for your opponent to roll or make a decision about re-rolls, you may switch the timer over to them.
If you have a dispute about line of sight or the rules and require the TO, pause the clock and seek the TO's ruling before continuing the clock.
A full set of clock guidelines and tips will follow, after consultation with players.
-----------------------------------------
TOURNAMENT GAME RULES:
The games will be scored based on the difference in Victory Points between the two players. Victory points are capped at 20 and will not go any higher.
Once one or more players hit 20 points the game will end at the conclusion of the current round, otherwise the games will end at the conclusion of round 5. Tournament Points are awarded as follows:
A difference of 16-20 VPs = 9 TPs to Winner. 0 TPs to Loser.
A difference of 11-15 VPs = 8 TPs to Winner. 1 TP to Loser.
A difference of 6-10 VPs = 7 TPs to Winner. 2 TPs to Loser.
A difference of 1-5 VPs = 6 TPs to Winner. 3 TPs to Loser.
A difference of 0 VPs is a draw, with each player gaining 4 TPs.
The standings will be determined by Tournament Points. If there are ties in the table, the following tiebreakers will decide the rankings:
-Head to head result between players.
-Number of wins.
-Total VP differential.
-Total VPs.
-----------------------------------------
SPECIAL ORANGE DICE:
Each player will be provided with an Orange D8, which may be used once per game in the same manner as an "Extra Dice" result on a Command Dice, following the same restrictions.
-----------------------------------------
EIGHT-TRAIN:
The first player in each round of games to secure an "8-TRAIN" and announce their success will win a prize. An 8-TRAIN is roll of 8, exploding into another 8, and then another 8. Three in a row.
-----------------------------------------
SPECIAL MISSIONS:
At least one of the standard missions may be changed in some small way for this event. Any missions subject to these changes will be announced publicly before the event.
-----------------------------------------
THE CLOCKWORK ORANGE:
One member of your strike team with a Ranged stat may carry THE CLOCKWORK ORANGE, a grenade. This item does not count towards the model's carried item limit. When thrown, following the normal rules for grenades, roll on the table to discover the effects in the affected cube:
1: A DUD. Smoke.
2-3: VOLATILE. Toxic (1) Smoke.
4-5: FIRE. It Burns.
