Have a table you want to show off? Bring it and it could win the coveted 'Best Battlefield Award' !!
Note*** With new units/models coming out only a few weeks before the event date, there will be no painting requirements for this event. Though that doesn't mean you can't field painted units if you have them. Show your work off!!
Event Scoring
The overall score for each player is a combination of:
Battle – 60 points max
Sportsmanship – 30 points max
Theme/Comp – 5 points
Early List Submission - 1 point
Theme, also referred to as Comp, is a soft check against hyper-competitive, Win At All Costs army lists. Each army list submitted by the deadline is automatically granted 5 Theme/Comp points. If the army list contains a force construction more appropriate for a WAAC competitive event, points will be deducted. Examples of a deduction include:
Inclusion of an Inexp. Indirect Fire weapon when the rest of the force is Reg. and/or Vet.
Inclusion of an Inexp. Transport/Two when the rest of the force is Reg. and/or Vet.
Unit spam (Flamethrowers, Howitzers, etc.).
To put it another way, Running Back II is a beginner friendly event. Yes, we are all playing to win, but not at the expense of the opponent’s experience.
Sportsmanship Scoring
Be gracious in victory and defeat.
Operating on the assumption that all players are good sports, opponents are automatically granted 10 points for Sportsmanship for each game. If opponents turn out to be less than good sports, players need to report it to the TO’s table, before the start of the next round, using the following categories and examples as a guideline. Keep in mind; everyone gets a little salty now and then, forgets (or misplaces) their tape measure once in a while, temporarily forgets how a rule works, or changes their mind about a decision, etc.
Salty Attitude: Complain a lot. Constantly ask to see your rules—even for basic things. Act put-out if you ask to see their rules. Do not communicate intentions or establish agreement with regard to movement, line of sight, etc. Are impatient, dismissive, curt, etc.; sore losers or ungracious winners.
Unprepared for Play: Show up very late. Haven’t read the tournament rules. Haven’t read the mission description. Don’t have the majority of the things needed to play the game (have to borrow a lot).
Incompetent Play: Unable to execute the core rules of the game without frequent referencing or coaching. Spend inordinate time looking things up (i.e. do not have materials prepared, marked, or printed for quick reference).
Questionable Play: Not quite cheating, but not aboveboard either. ‘Generous’ measurements or movement. Frequently take back movement or other decisions after they are in process. Not clearly distinguishing between similar units. Not keeping track of scoring. Abuse ‘playing by intent’ by failing to establish what their intent is, but taking advantage of what it ‘could have been’.
Sportsmanship Deductions: In all cases, the judge(s) will decide whether the described behaviors are Minor, Major, or Extreme instances.
Minor instances will be minus 1-4 points each.
Major instances will be minus 5-9 points each and a visit from the TO.
Extreme instances will be minus 10 points and a visit from the Head TO.
