League Structure
The league is structured essentially as a Grand Tournament over an extended period of time. There will be 4 rounds which will last 2 weeks per round wrapping up in November. All pairings and scoring will be done with BCP. Once the pairings are completed, players will have the full 2 week period of time to arrange and play their games. Failure to arrange a game will result in a Failure to Arrange, which is negative 2 points, for both or either player that failed to arrange any game. Torchlight would be your common meeting place. Thursdays at Torchlight are reserved for Conquest: TLAoK, however you are welcome to schedule games on other days. Friday’s and Saturday’s Torchlight is open until 11pm. If players cannot meet at Torchlight, players are welcome to set up a secondary meeting. Lists can be changed in between rounds, lists are to be submitted at the end of each round.
Scoring for the league will be based on the individual battleplans and will be scored using battle points accrued in the game. In the case of a draw, the winner will be determined by objectives held at End of Game, second tie breaker most regiments killed. If this is equal, roll off. Wins are worth 3 League points, losses are worth 2 League points.

Sportsmanship
This league is meant to have a tournament type setting but we do encourage new players to give it a try to help build the community and because of that, there will be gaps in player skill in the earlier rounds. So with that said I would like to ask players to do their best to help newer and less experienced players with the game. For Example if you would wheel a unit, talk the wheel out with your opponent before moving. Be courteous when a new player is deploying units, and allow a player to redeploy, or redo that activation.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
We would love to help grow the competitive community in a healthy way and encouraging players to help each other is a great starting point. As a whole, let’s make each other better players.
There will be sportsmanship and player scoring throughout the league and as things progress we are constantly looking at ways to improve and grow as a community with player feedback to address potential issues.
