600 Point Army, All-Time format (any Heroscape model from all time, not just Age of Annihilation)

Players are required to use official game pieces including combat dice, Army Cards, figures, Order Markers, and terrain. Players may bring their own twenty-sided dice.

Game Setup:
After pairings are posted, players must arrive at their assigned table in a timely manner. Once both players have arrived, they must each roll a twenty-sided die. The player who rolls highest chooses a deployment zone and one of their Army Cards and places all figures on that card in their deployment zone. Then, their opponent chooses one of their Army Cards and places all figures on that card in their deployment zone. Players alternate in this fashion until all figures in both Armies have been placed. Then, the game begins.

Scoring:
Tournament points are awarded as follows: ? 3 points for a win ? 1 point for a draw ? 0 points for a loss When determining the winner of a game after time has been called, first refer to the rules for the scenario being played. In case of a disqualification or game loss penalty, the non-offending players at the table each receive a win.

Conceding a Game:
A player may concede the game at any time. If a player concedes, their opponent receives a win and the conceding player receives a loss.
Dropping from the Tournament:
A player may drop from a tournament at any time. If a player drops during a game or after pairings have been announced, that player is considered to have conceded that round and their opponent receives a win.

Standings Tiebreakers:
Strength of Schedule is the tiebreaker for tournament standings. Strength of Schedule is calculated by adding up the tournament points of each opponent a player has faced in the event and dividing that score by the number of rounds played.

Tournament Structure:
Most Heroscape tournaments are held using a modified Swiss structure, with an optional top cut depending on the event and the number of participants. This structure awards points to the winner of each game, and in every subsequent round, a player will face a new opponent or opponents with the same tournament score (whenever possible). When not possible, pairings should be done from the top rank down. For example, if five players are tied on tournament score, the first four ranked players will be paired together, and the fifth will be paired down to the next-ranked set of players. Pairings should always prioritize pairing players that have not played together yet.

Byes:
In some cases it may be necessary to assign a player a bye, meaning they will not play a game that round, and count the missing game as a win (3 points). This usually occurs when there is an uneven number of players. The lowest-ranked player in the round will be assigned the bye. If a bye needs to be assigned for the first round, it will be assigned at random.
