MATCH-UPS

The match-ups for Game 1 will be random. In the following games players will be matched using

Tournament Points and Destroyed Dice, as explained below.

SCENARIOS

Each game will use the Battle Scenario system, as described in the Bolt Action: Third Edition rulebook, on tables with terrain that has been pre-arranged by the organisers. Players must not move the terrain, and should ensure that they have agreed with their opponent which terrain features constitute which type of terrain under the rules before the game begins.Before each round, the organisers will announce the

combination of Victory Conditions, Deployment

Zone, and Deployment Type to be used in that game

TOURNAMENT POINTS (TP)

Victory is calculated as described in the Scenarios being played, and Tournament Points awarded as follows:

• Win – 3 TPs

• Draw – 1 TP

• Loss – 0 TP

In addition, players must also record how many enemy units they destroy during their games. These destroyed enemy units are each worth 1 point (Destroyed Dice). Destroyed Dice are added together throughout the tournament in a running total and are used as a tiebreaker to pair players who are on the same level of Tournament Points. From the second round, players will be paired using a Swiss system (i.e. matching players on the same number of Tournament Points, in descending order).

In case of more than two players on the same number of Tournament Points, players will be matched in descending Destroyed Dice total.

In the case of players having the same Tournament Points and Destroyed Dice totals, players will be paired in Random order. When two players that have already met in a previous

round are matched to play each other again, the TOs will re-pair them with new opponents. This rule does not apply on the top five tables during the last turn of the tournament.

WINNING THE TOURNAMENT

The winner is determined at the end of the last round. The player with the most Tournament Points will be the winner! Tiebreakers will be as follows:

1.Destroyed Dice (highest wins) 2. Head-to-Head matchup result
