Army Composition

This is a 650 point event.

This is an event for players of all abilities where the emphasis will be on enjoyment at entoyment.

Army Restrictions
Each army must have a minimum of 3 models.
Models must be, wherever possible WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) i.e. model representation must be used. In the case of “counts as” conversions or weapon swaps, please let the TO know.
Also please make sure to inform your opponents at the start of your games.

For painting we are aiming for "Battle Ready" standard. 

What you need to bring on the day
Your 650pt army
Any sourcebooks with rules for your models. (FAQ’s for these are also useful although they will be on hand)
A copy of The Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Rulebook
A copy of your list (paper or digital).
Measuring tape, dice, writing implements and any objective markers that you’ll need to play
Match play guide (if owned)

Scenarios and Scoring
Scenarios will be randomly selected on the day from the match play guide and each pool will only be selected once.

Games will last 2 hours with regular TO announcements for remaining time. A five minute warning will be given before the end of games, please do not start a new turn after this point.

Games will be played on 4 x 4 foot tables with pre placed terrain by the TO.

The event will be using longshanks system and will pair each round using Swiss.

Sportsmanship
Please be kind and considerate of your opponents and any issues see the TO.

Judges rulings
Should you come to a situation where your opponent is referring to a rule you’ve never heard of, it’s perfectly reasonable to ask them to show you it in the rule book or source book, but please keep in mind that we’ll be asking all players to keep to time throughout the day so anything you can do to keep your games flowing would be appreciated.

If you come to a point where something occurs that’s not covered clearly by the rules, try to resolve it in a mutually agreeable manner. If this is not possible, ask a judge. Bear in mind that a judge’s ruling is final, regardless of whether it goes your way or not, or even if it’s “roll a dice for it”. You have limited time to play your games, so quickly resolving these issues is encouraged.
