The Cross Gaming Club in association with Dark Sphere presents:
THE ANNUAL LONDON TEAM TOURNAMENT
Saturday 3rd December, 2016
Tickets may be purchased here: www.darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=73165
Facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/788981891241783/
Prepare yourselves for the fourth annual Warmachine and Hordes London Team Tournament, returning to the calendar like a rampaging Dire Troll! This is your chance to compete in the most competitive Warmachine-meta in the UK.* It is also your chance to see Norbert mercilessly make Tom take a selfie with him. And post it publicly!
Up to 16 teams of three players will take part in a standard Steamroller style tournament lasting up to four rounds. A ticket to this event is for a three player team, and players do not need to purchase their tickets individually. Each team has a nominated captain who is responsible for filling out paperwork and ensuring data is entered correctly. It is recommended that the captain buy the team's ticket.
Team captains must submit all 6 lists for their team by Sunday the 20th of November at midnight to ensure they are correct and to allow us to publish them in advance to encourage inter-team rivalry, gentle ribbing, and outright rudeness. Lists must be submitted to tournaments@crossgamingclub.com. Please submit all lists all in the same email using the Steamroller PDFs found here: tinyurl.com/SRsheets ...as it will make our lives much easier when checking them; and yours much easier when filling them out. Please ensure that team names are included in the player name section alongside the player's actual name.
On the day, registration is from 8 am, dice fly by 9 am the latest and we should be done by 8pm. There will be a lunch break between rounds 2 and 3. We usually go for a traditional curry after the event.
The games will be played using the Deathclock timing variant, as per the Steamroller pack. Each player must bring two 75 point lists. Warcasters and Warlocks may not be repeated across a team.
PAIRING RULES
A player matching system is used for this event, essentially forming a mini-game before the games begin, inspired by the Heavy Metal Dayz Matching system.
For the purpose of the pairing process, Team A and Team B exist. Team A is the team that is located on the left side of the pairing table, Team B is on the right side. Every team gets a card for every player on their team. One table row has 3 individual tables. Please note that all 3 tables play the same scenario. Team captains meet on one side of the table row - where the table numbers are located. Terrain is already set on those tables, but can be corrected if needed.
Team A puts their first player on the left table in the row. The card is to be put face down on the table. Team B will put its first player on the right table; the card needs to be face down as well. Example: Team Poignant Savant puts "Deno" at the left table. Team Kartoffel puts "Alex" at the right table. Cards will be turned simultaneously and will show the players at those tables.
After that each team hands the cards they have left to the opposing team. Example: Team Poignant Savant gets handed the cards for "Frank" and "Tim". They hand over their cards "Moops" and "Ben" to Team Kartoffel. Now the teams pick up those cards and choose a player to pair with the one already on the table, face down. The remaining card will be put onto the middle table, face down. Example: Team Poignant Savant decides that "Deno" will face "Tim". That means "Frank" will be playing on the middle table. Those 4 cards will be turned simultaneously and will reveal the pairings on the different tables. Example: "Deno" will play "Tim", just like Team Poignant Savant chose. Team Kartoffel chooses "Ben" as the opponent for "Alex". When the cards are turned it is revealed that "Frank" will play "Moops".
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! The easiest way to get hold of the event organisers (Tom Hutchings and Norbert Brunhuber) is via the Cross Gaming Club forums (http://www.crossgamingclub.com/forum) or the Cross Gaming Club Facebook page (facebook.com/crossgc), where we'll endeavour to answer your questions as quickly as we can.
