There is no painting requirement for this event. To be eligible for the "Best Painted" award, your armies must be fully painted.

There will be a waitlist for the event. If the event is full please discord message the Tournament Organizer. New codices must be available for individual purchase prior to play in RTTs.
Army Construction
Each team member should prepare one "singles" list of up to 2,000 points, and each team member should also prepare one "doubles" list of up to 1,000 points. Players may use different factions from one another, but each player's doubles army must be the same army faction as their own singles list. Keep narrative and theme in mind when choosing factions!
No Epic Hero may be used by more than one player. For example, if Player A fields Eldrad Ulthran in their 2000pt army, he could also be fielded in Player A’s 1000pt army but could not be used in Player B’s 1000pt army.
Doubles armies must be constructed so that no Battleline or Dedicated Transport unit appears more than 6 times in any combination of two lists, and no other unit appears more than 3 times in any combination of two lists.
Doubles armies may use up to two enhancements each, but the enhancements chosen must be unique. No doubles lists may repeat enhancements.
Trios Pairing
Over the course of 3 rounds, each member of your Trio will play one "singles" game and two "doubles" games, meaning each player will play once by themselves with a full 2000pt army, and once with each of their teammates. No one plays solo more than once, and no pairings can be repeated. Please indicate on your trio’s 2000pt lists which will play first, second, and third.
Rules for Doubles Games
• Double teams are treated as a single player for the purposes of gaining, generating, and refunding Command Points.
• Army Rules and Detachment Rules that are shared by both halves of a Double team are treated as though the team was a single player (e.g., One Fated dice per team per phase, one Oath of Moment target per phase, one Combat Doctrine applies to both Gladius Task Force detachments, etc.).
• Aside from Army Rules and Detachment Rules that are shared as mentioned above, auras, psychic powers, and other abilities that benefit friendly units will only apply to the player’s own 1000-point army, even if they share a faction or keyword with their teammate.
• Stratagems, abilities, powers, and actions that are limited to once per player per phase, turn, etc. are instead limited to once per team.
• Teammates may not embark in each other’s transports, benefit from each other’s buffs, or attach Leaders to each other’s units.
• Teammate’s armies are considered friendly otherwise and are not affected by auras, powers, or other abilities that only apply to enemy units.
Registration and Scoring
Only team captains will be registered in the Best Coast Pairings app. Scores are not reported to the ITC. Follow normal scoring rules for each game. Add the results of both of a team’s games (singles and doubles) together to get a total score out of a max of 200. This is the score that should be reported.
Failure to check-in by 10:00 am will result in a team losing their spot to the first/next individual on the waitlist.
By joining this event you agree to follow the rules and regulations of Your Hobby Place and the sponsoring company (e.g. Games Workshop, Wizards of the Coast, Bushiroad, Konami, etc.), and abide by The Arena Code of Conduct posted throughout the play area.
Please reach out to the tournament organizer with any questions, comments, concerns, or accessibility accommodations.
