25mm and 15mm FoG COMPETITION RULES

Umpire:

Terry Shaw

Competition Rules

1. The rules to be used are the latest version of the Field of Glory rules.
2. Armies may be chosen from any army lists published at least one month prior to the competition.
   
   
3. The list submitted must not exceed 800 points for 15mmm and 650 points for 25mm. 

4. The competition will use the full rules including the terrain and set-up appendices.
   
5. Army lists must specify the number and size of battle groups and their order of march for deployment, and the number and type of commanders chosen. They should also include the territory list for the army. Once an army list has been submitted it may not be changed or altered other than to correct any errors. Players may only correct their errors by making reasonable changes to their list. It is not allowed to completely re-write the list, and the list checkers decision on this is final.
   
   
6. Please note the Britcon Field of Glory 2008 event is a single list format. Any incorrect list discovered after a game has commenced (after set up dice have been rolled) must be corrected prior to deployment if spotted in time, and fully corrected in any case before the next match.

7. Army lists must be submitted for checking in advance and must be received by the List Checker not later than two weeks before the event.
8. The List Checker is
   James Hamilton,
   17 Davenport Park Road,
   Stockport,
   Cheshire,
   SK2 6JU.
   Tel 0161 483 9131
   E-mail: james@urgentdawn.freeserve.co.uk
   
   Please note that only incoming calls are possible, and that the list checker can only respond to queries in connection with Army Lists. All other queries must be addressed to the organisers.   The list checker will provide a standard excel format along with the requested lists and would appreciate it, where possible, if players could use this to ease checking.
9. Players must fully define their troops as they are placed on table.  Figures must provide a reasonably accurate representation of the troops they are trying to represent – they must not look deliberately misleading.
10. Table size is 6' x 4' and players must supply their own terrain pieces. These must be to an acceptable standard, and umpires will have the discretion to remove unsightly items. In addition all figures must be representative and painted and based to an acceptable standard. A prize will be available for the best terrain at the competition.
11. Players must be present and ready to start the match at the appointed time. Where a player has a reasonable excuse for arriving late the match start will be delayed by up to 30 minutes. After which time the effected player will be awarded a bye. No player will be awarded more than one bye for any reason.  A bye will carry 16 points for the duration of the tournament and will be adjusted at the end by inserting instead the average of the players real results, with a minimum of 16 points.
12. If a player resigns from a game at any stage after the first set up dice have been rolled their opponents will be awarded maximum points, and they will be awarded 0 points.
13. When time is called, play will continue until the end of the turn of the player who moved second, such that both players will have had an equal number of turns.  Play will stop immediately before the a joint action phase following this.
14. Time will be called after 3.5 hours plus a 1 – 15 minute random factor. The random factor will be determined by the umpire prior to the start of the round, and will not be revealed until the announcement is made. Players may always commence games earlier than the stated time by mutual consent.
15. Admission to the tournament is at the sole discretion of the organisers and their decision on all matters is final. An application to enter denotes acceptance of these rules.
