• Any other Army lists must be pre-approved. Contact info@adepticon.org to get approval.
• No more than one (1) Regiment of Renown is allowed in a Non-Dogs of War army.
• Rhinox Riders are only allowed in Ogre Kingdoms and Dogs of War armies.
• Each player must create a valid 2,999 point army. That is the army that must be played for the entire tournament without modification.
• Special Characters/Named Characters are allowed.
• Each Player must provide 5 PRINTED (Not handwritten) Army lists, one to each of their opponents with the Stats of their army. This is a CLOSED LIST tournament so the lists are not exchanged until AFTER each round. The 4th list must be turned into the judges at time of registration at the event. The 5th list will only be used if you qualify for the Mine’s Bigger than yours is… round.
• Model use and conversions. Whenever possible, your models should reflect WYSIWYG. If it is not apparent to anyone walking by your table what the model represents in the Warhammer world, you are encouraged to label the movement tray. Difficult or confusing model use may result in a penalty to Sportsmanship. If you have questions or concerns, contact info@adepticon.org for a pre-judgment before March 1st.
• Your Models must be painted to the 3 color minimum standard. In order to be eligible for the Purdiest Hammer award, you must have completely painted your own army.
• If even one model is not painted and based appropriately, you will lose 5 Battle Points per round (this includes summoned troops).
• You will need to bring an objective marker modeled on a 40mm base which will be included in the judged appearance score. The objective can earn you additional VP based on the scenario. Be warned that all of the scenarios will relate to the theme of the tourney, Size Matters.
• The rulings of the current GW 7th Edition Fantasy FAQ will be used. Other Tournament-Specific Rulings are available in the AdeptiCon Fantasy FAQ.
• The SIZE MATTERS Tournament will use the ‘Sliding’ Methodology from The GW FAQ, Pg 6-8 with the following limitation; Slide distance is limited by remaining movement. If both players would prefer the ‘Clipping’ methodology, both must initial the ‘Using Clipping’ line on their opponent’s scoring sheet before starting the game. Building Assault Rules from BRB Pg. 97 are in effect.

SCORING
Battle: Victory Points are earned using the Standard Victory Point values from the BRB Pg 102. Once you have calculated the victory points you have earned and the difference between the results, consult the chart below to determine the battle points you have earned for this round. The intention is for each round to produce a winner and a loser. In the unlikely event of an exact tie, there is a singular draw result.

Example: Player 1 earns 1787 VP, Player 2 earns 725 VP. Difference = 1062. Player 1 Wins and earns 15 Battle Points. Player 2 Loses and earns 5 Battle Points.

Composition: Not Applicable.

Appearance: 25 points total. Appearance will be judged via Checklist as follows, capped at 25pts:

Player Sportsmanship: 8 points per round. Each Player is expected and required to use the highest level of sportsmanship at all times while involved in the SIZE MATTERS Tournament. At the end of each game, your opponents will rate your Sportsmanship by using a Sportsmanship checklist.
1. Was your Opponent On Time and Prepared to play with all needed items? YES/NO
2. Did your Opponent Measure Accurately and play at a timely pace? YES/NO
3. Did your Opponent know his/her rules and handle rules disputes reasonably? YES/NO
Circle One regarding your Opponent and Not the Army:
0 1 2 3 4 5
If you circle 0 or 5, you will have to provide a written explanation as to why.

You will be asked to rank all of your opponents at the end of round 3 from Best to Least in Sportsmanship. These last 3 point totals will round out Sportsmanship scoring. If a fourth round occurs, that round will not be included in the sportsmanship ranking.
